Carter didn’t seem to realize that he told her anything.
“I got to get you some dinner.That drug is pretty powerful.I want to kiss you again.”
Biting her lip hard, he kissed her like she was his great aunt.Her throat closed up, she gasped for air.
“Are you okay?”
She shook her head, not able to speak as she kept coughing.
Carter put his arm around her, sat her upright.
“Shh, Josie.You’re okay now.I’m going to get you out of here.I don’t know where we are going.Jared said it had to be somewhere we could lay low for a while.”
Tears leaked down her face as he kept touching her hair.
“Here more water,” He held the cup to her lips, and she sputtered but forced herself to drink it, hoping it’d ease the dryness in her throat.
“What are you doing?”Jared’s voice sliced through the air.
“I didn't hear you.”
“No, you idiot.You didn’t lock the door.What’s wrong with her?’
“She can’t stop coughing.”
Josie’s eyes rolled back in her head.The room lurched, the pressure in her head felt like she was going to explode.
“She’s no good to us if she’s drugged out.I told you not to give her anymore.”
“I didn't!”
Jared swiped the cup of water from Carter.“You used this?This had the drugs I needed to keep her subdued.You gave her the whole cup?”
“Yeah.”
“Fuck.She’s no use to us drugged out of her head.We got to wake her up.”
“No.I’m cold.”Josie murmured.
“I’m going to look after you,” Carter said.He placed a blanket around her shoulders.“There.Josie you sleep now.I will be right here.”
“No, that's not the plan,” Jared shouted.
“I know you want all her data or whatever, but her passwords aren't on her phone and she's feeling miserable.When I fuck her, I want her to enjoy it.”
“I don’t care if she enjoys it or not,” Jared said.
Sharp and cold, fear slithered through her body.Up till now, she didn’t realize what they were going to do to her.But they wanted her emails?This couldn’t all be because of her customer list.She snorted and giggled at the thought.
“What’s so funny?Don't laugh at me!”Carter pushed her, so she fell on the floor, her knee making a popping noise on the impact.
“She’s not laughing at you, you lame brain.It’s the drugs.”
“Sorry, oh Josie, come here.”
Fear made her body shake.She couldn't calm herself, even as Carter draped his arm around her.
She was so dumb for leaving Ares’s house.
