exceptions he
made were for the mothers, sisters and wives of the members of
the Hell Pack .
The capture of Ajay’s mother and grandmother was a particularly
lucky score. He snagged them on Highway 45 traveling
north.
    An hour and twenty five minutes passed
before Jewel finally emerged from the large square building, Rane
slithered from his car and crouched behind hers. Her car lights
blinked and the click of the locks releasing resounded.
    When she opened her door and climbed
behind the wheel, he caught the door, snatched her wrist, and
covered her mouth. He yanked her from her car. Her feet kicked at
the pavement, her hands gripped at his fingers.
    To no avail.
    Rane dragged her to his back seat and
slugged her in the head, knocking her unconscious. Using the rope
he bought earlier, he tied her hands and feet then covered her with
a gray blanket.
    Driving in the slow lane on Highway
45, he repeatedly slapped his palms against the steering wheel,
releasing some of the adrenaline surging through his
veins.
    When he arrived home, he parked and
exited his yellow pickup truck. Reaching behind the driver’s seat
and into the extended cab, he gripped Jewel under her arms, dragged
her from the vehicle, through the tall grass and into his
single-wide trailer.
    The front door swung open. Rane gave
his balding, short friend a nod. “Hey. I got her. Give me a hand.”
Kipp grabbed her feet and together they carried her through the
kitchen into Rane’s bedroom.
    “ Let’s do the swing
thing,” Rane said. They tossed her onto the black
comforter.
    Kipp took a seat at the small kitchen
table.
    Following Kipp out of the bedroom,
Rane gripped the top of the door frame. “You like her?”
    “ Yes.”
    “ I knew you would. What’s
not to like?” He grabbed a pair of scissors from a drawer. “You
want to do the honors?”
    Kipp walked to the bedroom and cut the
garments from her body.
    Rane flipped around and
curled his fingers around the top of the door frame. A mixture of
intrigue and lust pulsed through him. He grabbed a black sharpie
off the top of the bureau, elbowed Kipp out of the way and climbed
over her. On her stomach, he drew an arrow pointing down and wrote
the words my sweet .
    “ Let’s have a bite to
eat,” Rane said. “She might be out a while. You goin’ to watch
us?”
    Kipp dipped his head forward, one slow
nod.
    A carton of chocolate cupcakes were
set on the counter. Rane offered one to Kipp. A white plump cat
jumped to the table, purred and rubbed against the side of Rane’s
face.
    “ Cupcake.” He trailed his
hand from her head and down her tail. With his mouth against the
cat’s cold wet nose, he gave her a kiss. “I missed you.” He
scratched Cupcake behind her ear. “We have a guest. When she wakes,
I’ll introduce you.”
    He ate a cupcake and peered around the
corner but Jewel was still out. He drank a glass of water and
refilled the glass.
    With a cupcake in one hand and a glass
in the other, he walked to the bedroom and tossed the water at her
face.
    She gasped and opened her
eyes.
    Rane climbed over her. “My sweet.” He
pushed the cupcake at her lips but she turned her head and
screamed.
    He slapped her. “There’s nobody for
miles. Nobody will hear you scream. Regardless, it irritates me so
don’t do it again.”
    Tears poured down her face.
    He moved the cupcake toward her lips.
When she only nibbled, he shoved the cupcake into her face. Blood
gushed from her mouth. Gagging, she spit out a tooth.
    With a snarl, Rane grabbed a hunk of
her hair, yanked her head back and licked blood off her chin. “My
sweet.”

Chapter Ten
     
    Maggie's tent started to shake. Her
lids flipped open. “What?' she groaned.
    “ Time to go,” Cam
said.
    She stumbled from the tent to find the
camp packed up, all except the tent she was just sleeping
in.
    Minutes later, he had the tent packed.
The hike resumed without a word from him. And she was too tired and
hungry to fight with him.
    When they
