Underground

“I told you I wouldn’t be long.” Zacky smiled to himself as he sat back down within the driver seat, searching through the bag he brought with him.

“What did you want to drink?” he asked as he looked up towards Callie, holding an item in each hand awaiting an answer.

“I want to go home” she insisted looking Zacky directly in the eyes, ignoring the cans of liquid being offered, her hazels connecting with his emeralds.

“Now you know I can’t do that” Zacky sighed resting the drinks upon his knees and tilting his head to one side.

“Why not? Please Zacky, please take me home, I want to go home” Callie pleaded, for a moment Zacky looked like he wanted to let her go, that he sincerely didn’t want to do this, but then his look turned cold and he ignored her pleas, instead he placed one of the cans onto her lap as well as a few other food items.

“Eat up, you don’t know when your next meal will be” Zacky ordered, acting upon his warning Callie opened the packet of crisps on her lap and began eating.

“Good girl” Zacky cooed when he heard the rustling from the crisps being opened.

“At least you know to listen when it’s good for ya” She ignored his patronising remarks and opened up her second packet, she hadn’t realised how hungry she was until food was placed in front of her, having no dinner the previous night made it hard for her to eat without looking like a starving animal, but she contained herself, savouring the flavour of each individual crisp.

The car began moving again, making its way out of the garage to join the main road once more, but Callie barely noticed, she was exhausted. The long day at work, the late night, the disturbing wakeup call and being kidnapped were all taking its toll on her, she was now struggling to keep her eyes open. The sandman wanted her within his grasps, and he was determined to succeed. She fought with herself to stay awake.

“Sleep if you’re tired” said Zacky, he was concentrating on the road but caught glimpses of her head drooping from the corner of his eye.

Despite how much she hated him she couldn’t help but take heed of his advice, she could no longer fight the sandman, he had won – a satisfying victory. Laying her head back into the headrest, making herself as comfortable as she could, Callie closed her eyes to resume the sleep which was disrupted earlier that morning, in spite of never being able to sleep in a moving vehicle before she was snoozing within minutes.
