15. True Colors

  The Men pulled in front of an Arlington Storage Facility and dragged Lexi into

  the large building. She had tried screaming but her throat was shot and nothing would

  come out. Once inside the building they took her to a dimly lit storage locker that had

  nothing but a bed in the middle. At that moment Lexi wanted nothing more for them to

  just kill her. She prayed for a miracle in her head as she silently screamed as they began

  to chain her to the bed.

  As they finished chaining her up, all the men gathered around her and watched

  her pointlessly fight and struggle, trying to break free. Finally, she started to lay still and

  quit struggling. “Are you done?” The man who was in the driver seat earlier began to

  speak to her. Then a dark realization overcame her as Lexi recognized the voice of one of

  her masked kidnappers.

  “Uncle….Tobias?” She was in disbelief that a man she had known for so long

  could be behind this.

  The man removed his mask despite the other men around him remained masked.

  “You always were a smart girl, Lex.” The familiar face of Lexi’s Uncle Tobias. He

  wasn’t Lexi’s real Uncle, she just called him that since he had been around working

  closely with her father for as long as she could remember.

  What was left of Lexi’s heart was ripped out her chest. “Why?”

  With a cruel almost demonic look on his face, Tobias began to unravel everything

  for Lexi to know. “Payback for what your father and every other corrupt rich white pig

  did to my little sister.”

  Lexi whispered “Jacklyn Clark… she was your sister?”

  “She was and they did horrible unspeakable things to her. She wasn’t the only

  one, each man here has had a family member who was targeted by your father and his

  men. They went after sisters, mothers…. And daughters. Now it’s time for us to get our

  retribution.”

  “But this was all so long ago, why now? Why me?” Lexi pleaded.

  “Because taking down men like these takes time and patience. As for why you, its

  because we know one day you’d grow up to be just like him. We’ve seen it happen too

  many times already. This corrupt cycle of hateful and bigoted people putting their own in

  power to replace them. “One of the other masked men said as Tobias began to unbuckle

  his pants and position himself on top of Lexi who had begun to struggle against the

  chains once more knowing her life and sanity depended on escaping this living hell.

  “Please don’t! Tobias! Get off me!” Lexi screamed one last time before being gagged

  with a dirty rag. “Help!”
