As she layed there she craddled her unborn child. She could now butterflies in her growing stomach. " Oh baby I'm so sorry." She cried softly. She knew that it was just a matter of time before Knuckles found out. Even though she was terrified to leave she knew in her heart that if her baby was going to have a chance to live she had to take the risk. She was so wraped up in her thoughts that she did not hear Knuckles " HEY, DIDN'T YOU HEAR ME YOU STUPID BITCH? I SAID TO GET YOUR FAT ASS UP." Knuckles barked out kicking her in the back of the head. " I'm sorry, I didn't hear you." She whimpered staggering to her feet " Well clean the shit out of you ears, I said to get up and get ready you got a job to do." Knuckles said grabbing her by the arm and pushing her into the bathroom ........... Standing scared and lonely on a street corner Nicci waited for her first customer for the night. She wanted nothing more then to run as fast as her legs could carry her but she knew that Knuckles was there. She couldn't see him but she could feel his cold eyes on her. Finally a man came up to her. " Hey you open for business?" He asked undressing her with his dark shady eyes " Yes." Nicci whispered hanging her head to hide her tears. " Good, I only have an hour to kill so I don't want to waste time." The man said walking Nicci to his car. ........... Laying on her back it was all she could do is to not cry. Feeling this man that wasn't Johnny go down on her was like a bad dream in which she could not awake. " Hey I thought you said you open for business?" He asked noticing the tears running down Nicci's cheeks. " Oh I am." Nicci lied through her sobs " Hey look I'm not going to force you, Just forget it." The man growled standing up while reaching for his clothes " No don't leave." She pleaded she knew that if she didn't make some money Knuckles would beat her like he's done so many times before. " Hey I told you, I'm not into forcing, You're either willing or not. and you need to decide that yourself."He spit angerly slamming the door behind him Picking herself up Nicci walked into the bathroom. Looking over to the shelf she spotted razor blade complements of the motel. Reaching for the razor she began to cry. This is the only way out for us Baby. She thought turning on the water. Putting the razor to her wrist she began to tremble, her blood streaming down as she applied more pressure. Suddenly without warning she heard the slamming of the front door. Dropping the razor as she spun around she saw Knuckles standing there in the doorway with his eyes filled with fire. " WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING?" Knuckles attacked grabbing her by the neck " Nothing, I'm not doing anything." Nicci whimpered in fear. " NOTHING HUH, TELL ME WHY YOUR TRICK TOLD ME THAT YOU WEREN'T PUTTING OUT." Knuckles growled slamming her into the wall. " I......I don't.......know..... I'm sorry........." Nicci managed " YOUR SORRY I'LL TEACH YOU TO BE SORRY." Knuckles declared punching her in the head making her fall to the floor. "Shielding her head she cried." Please don't it hurts." " HURT, YOU WORTHLESS PIECE OF TRASH, I'LL SHOW YOU WHAT HURTS." Knuckles yelled grabbing her head hitting it repeatedly against the side of the tub." I OUGHT TO FUCKING KILL YOU." Knuckles said while coutinuing the beating. ......Two hours later....... Nicci woke up beaten and bloody. Staggering to her feet she wimpered out in pain." God why doesn't he just kill us?" She cried holding on to her battered belly ............. the next day....... " Gage there's someone to see you." Stanley greeted as the squad came to a stop. Strolling into the day room, Johnny spotted Tricks sitting at the table. "Hey Tricks." Johnny greeted plopping down in a chair. Hanging her head she greeted" Hi Mr Gage." Then picking up her head she looked at the man in front of her. "Mr Gage I got some news for you about Nicci." She started. "Did you see her? Where?" Johnny hoped "No I didn't see her but I heard that Knuckles beat the shit out of her last night." She said ." Word has it is that he got pissed off when she wouldn't perform for a customer." "Oh no, well is she okay." Stanely asked full of concern " I guess so, I don't really know some of my home girls said that they saw her staggering down the street." She said " Well did they say where she went?" Marco asked "No they didn't. Hey Mr. Gage, can I ask you a question? Is Nicci pregnant ? Tricks asked " Yes she is she should be about four months now. Why?" Johnny asked "Well it's just my groupies said that her belly kind of stuck out ." Tricks said. " Mr. Gage I know how now that the stakes are very high and I'll do what I can to help you." She finished Even though it was hard on Johnny to learn that the love of his life was hurting, he felt relieved to know that his family was still alive . But for how long he didn't know." Tell me something, Does he know?" Johnny asked "No I don't think so, I think he's to stupid to figure it out." Tricks said ..........One week later.......... " I think Knuckles will be proud that we made fifty dollars last night." Nicci said speaking at her rounded stomach " In fact I'm kind of hungry why don't we get something to eat just you and I." Nicci finished as she started to cross the street only to be distracted by the roar of sirens coming to a stop in front of the small cafe. Seeing that a crowd was forming she decided that it would be safe to watch at a distance. Even if she couldn't be with Johnny she could still feel close to him.Look baby that's your daddy. She thought seeing Johnny from a far. " Well sir, I think your going to be okay, but you should go to the hospital and get looked at." Roy suggested "No I'm just fine." The man said getting to his feet Packing up the equipment Johnny concluded"Okay well it's your choice." "Heading for the squad Roy took a glance at the crowd. Stoping short he spotted Nicci. " NICCI." He said rushing to the crowd. " Johnny I just saw Nicci." Roy announced Running over to the crowd Roy and Johnny searched the crowd with no luck. " Excuse me did any of you notice where the girl that was just standing here went." Johnny asked pleading to the crowd " I think she went that way." A man said pointing down the street Roy and Johnny headed in the direction stated searching in every store, until the dispatcher interupted. " Squad 51 unknown type rescue 3322 Westmond time out 12:32 ................ Two hours later...... Roy and Johnny strolled into the day room " Are you sure it was her?" Johnny asked dropping in a chair " Yeah, at least I think it was. It must have been why would she run away if it wasn't?" Roy concluded " Who." Chet asked " Roy thinks he saw Nicci in the crowd during a run." Johnny answered not knowing what to think. He wanted to believe it was her. but he didn't want to get his hopes up .............. Letting out a sob Nicci walked into the dimly lit room. " Where have you been." Shaggy spit. " I....... I....just got back....." She said shyly "Yeah well Boss is out looking for you now and he's really pissed." Shaggy warned " It's not the first." She said to herself laying down on the mattress to get some much needed sleep Nicci just barely dozed off when the sudden slam of the door woke her. " Where the fuck have you been." Knuckles barked walking up to Nicci." I've been out looking for you worthless ass." Knuckles said grabbing her by the arm. " I just got in." Nicci's cried feeling his nails embedding her skin. " Yeah well how much did ya get?" Knuckles asked " About fifty." Nicci said "FIFTY IS THAT ALL FOR ALL NIGHT?" Knuckles barked" BULL SHIT, YOU'RE LYING WHERE'S THE REST OF IT." Knuckles demanded shaking her by the arm. "I'm not lying to you this is all." Nicci sobbed holding the money up in her trembling hand "YOU FUCKING BITCH WHAT THE FUCK AM I GOING TO DO WITH FIFTY BUCKS?" Knuckles growled "I'm sorry I tried." Nicci cried in her deffence "YEAH WELL YOU DIDN'T TRY HARD ENOUGH NOW I'M GOING TO TAKE IT OUT OF YOUR ASS." Knuckles said pulling her shirt apart allowing buttons to scatter around the room. Taking her swollen breasts roughly in his hands he squeezed them causing Nicci to cry out in pain. Seeing the pain in her eyes, he shot her a cruel smile ripping her panties off. Then plowing his unconstricked dick in her tender snatch. Feeding on her whimpers of pain he spit "Oh does that hurt, you little bitch." Slamming his meat hard into her region making her cry out in agony. " Dirty fucking whore take it." Knuckles spat plunging his exploding cock deep inside ................ While drawing water in the tub she walked over to the medicine cabinet. Starring at the contents she picked up a bottle of pills. Holding the bottle in her trembleing hand. " It's no use baby I give up, I can't take no more without your dad I'm nothing. " she cried. Leaning back in the tub she poured the pills in her palm. Allowing her thoughts to stray on the man she loved " Oh Johnny I love you and I hope that you can find it in your heart to forgive me." She said softly putting her hand up to her mouth. With her hands shaking she began to cry. Then snapping back to reality " I'm sorry Johnny." She cried throwing the pills across the room. Pulling her knees to her chest she sobbed. TBC |
