The Bound Between Us

Chapter 312

Anastasia dashed over next door as soon as she got the call. She’d been expecting Ashley to pull something tonight, and sure enough, she was right. She knocked on Flynn’s door, asking, “Where are they?”

Flynn replied excitedly, “Inside, I’ve got them tied up with bedsheets.”

Anastasia went in to see two guys. They were around thirty, trussed up by Flynn like a giant silkworm, practically cheek to cheek, just short of lips touching. But the kicker was, Flynn had stripped them both. Clothes and pants were tossed aside. Socks stuffed in their mouths so they couldn’t make a sound.

Anastasia rubbed her eyes and gave Flynn a side glance, “Are you into this kind of thing?”

Flynn hurriedly explained, “Don’t get the wrong idea. I was just worried they might have weapons on them. And it’s a bit awkward for me to search them by myself,

So…”

Anastasia cut him off, “So you stripped them naked.” She gave him a thumbs up, “Nice one.”

Now that the guys were captured, it was time for the interrogation. Anastasia sat down. They were wriggling in the sheets, making muffled sounds and trying to speak.

Anastasia was going to remove what was in their mouths. But when she noticed it was socks, she pulled her hand back. The smell was too strong.

She gestured to Flynn, “Your turn.”

Flynn chuckled, “No problem, just tell me what to do.” Not wanting to touch the socks directly, Flynn used a tissue to remove them.

Anastasia started the questioning, “Who are you and who sent you here? If you come clean, I’ll let you go. If not, you’re off to the police.”

The two guys were beaten up pretty bad by Flynn. Having had a taste of his wrath, they decided to spill the beans. One of them blurted out, “I’m Benny, thirty-two. We were hired and we’ll tell you everything. Just don’t send us to the cops.”

The other guy quickly added, “I’m Clyde, thirty-one. I just got out of jail. If I go back in, I’m done for.”

His speech was slurred, making it hard to understand.

“Bonnie & Clyde?” Anastasia couldn’t help but laugh at the names, “You guys are something.”

Flynn burst out laughing, “Ha-ha, Bonnie & Clyde. That’s hilarious. The names suit you two perfectly.”

Clyde stuttered, “Not Bonnie & Clyde, it’s Benny.” He slurred even more.

Anastasia turned to Benny, “Who sent you? What were you supposed to do?”

Benny spilled the beans without hesitation, mentioning Ashley’s name. “Ashley, that woman paid me and my brother a good sum to kidnap someone from a hotel and drop them off in a car in the back alley.”

Anastasia didn’t look surprised, while Flynn was fuming, “So it was her. That’s low.”

Anastasia continued, “Was there someone waiting in the alley? Then what? Where were they planning to take me? What were they going to do?”

Both shook their heads, “We don’t know.”

Ashley just told them to take her, nothing else. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

Just then, a phone on the floor started ringing. Anastasia glanced at it and asked, “Whose phone is this?”

Benny replied, “It’s mine. Probably that woman is calling. She’s definitely nudging us.”

Anastasia picked up the phone, and said coldly, “Tell her I have been taken and will be delivered shortly, got it?”

Benny nodded, somewhat dazed, “Got it.”

After making this point clear, Anastasia gave Flynn a look. He took the phone and hit record. Flynn answered the call, put it on speaker, and held it up to Benny’s ear. Ashley’s voice came over the phone, “Is the job done? Hurry up.”
