Entrapped

There was a beep,then a click.footsteps were heard he sighed deeply, dropped the cigarette in the ash tray then he crossed his long slim legs.

    "Helloooo"a cheerful male voice boomed from the other end.

    "What is it Alex?"he picked another cigerrate and held it between his lips,a man light a match stick on it.

    "How are you doing buddy".

He drew a deep breath and exhaled sending smokes with it "you know I don't have patience".

The man chuckled heartily "calm down bro,I just have news for you".

    "What is it?".

    "It might interest you to know that there is a good up for sale in the black market tonight,an exquisite auction",he was getting quiet excited and dramatic now "...a precious jewel,and explicit assest.."

   "...cut the crab Alex,I will be there tonight just make sure whatever is up for sale is worth my time".

He gave a short laugh "I wouldn't dare mess with you boss".there was a click and the line went death.

He dropped the phone on the table,a man was on all fours before him shivering intensely.the room was darkly lit with few furnitures,few men hanged around all dressed in dark suits and with the interior,it gave off this scary Aura and silhouetted zombie figures.

   "Am sorry…please…please do forgive me"the man pleaded.he was still on his pyjamas which could of course mean that he was already in bed and was probably forced out of it.whatever his offense was could have probably been great as thick sweats trickled down his brow soaking through his pyjamas and the intensive horrific expression on his face added to how gratifying his offense was.

    "Nobody ever steals from me and goes Scot free,I warned you"he dropped the cigarette in the ash tray and brought out a clean handkerchief from his breast coat and wiped his hands on it.

     "Am sorry boss,it was a mistake,...I swear"the man was now in panic,he crawled to his feet and clung on his magnificent shoe.

He sighed and stood up,he straightened his shirt and with a swift movement of his leg he kicked the man on his head so hard that he fell on his back yelping loudly like a dog and groaning.

     "Take him away and keep him in the dungeon till I find a perfect punishment for him,lock up this place, we definjtely need another ware house sell the properties and give it out to charity." He walked off with his men right behind him.

They were beside the car now "boss,a call came in from the precinct,I think one of our man has been caught".

He opened the car door and got inside without saying a word, "you clean up whatever mess it is,I have a meeting now".

   "What about the auction boss?"his driver asked

   "Make arrangements for that later".

The engine warmed and the car spurred into life and gently got into motion and zoomed off.two others followed consecutively leaving a couple of men on ground.

    "Get to work guys,I will call an attorney to get Jeff and Geoffrey out"the leader yelled and they got moving.

It was an underground auction room,a gathering of elites.going down a dimly lit flight of stairs brought one before a magnificent door,this door could only be opened with the members card.so a non member had no entry.

The auction room was a large hall with chairs neatly arranged,it had exquisite paintings hanging on the wall.waiters smartly dressed were present to serve the dignatries.a platform was raised this is were goods, paintings and explicit jewels were displayed for auction.on ordinary days,this gathering also hosted ordinary business men but today was no ordinary gathering and so it had extremely brutal business owners in attendance.this men appeared so innocent and transparent,but underground,they ran a chain block of businesses that is directly termed 'illegal'by the law.this men had a chain of connection that with just a flick of their finger could make or mar a person's life.

Here among this caliber of gentlemen,power was measured by how big ones connection was,wealth was measured by how deadly and brutal one could be to remain in business,among this men humanity had lost its meaning and definition.this was a gathering of the underworld business men.

Alex climbed over the podium all smiles,he surveyed the faces before him.he could see El Salvador,the beast.he had this long mark that ran diagonally from his left forehead to his right chin.he looked deadly and scary with his dark glasses on but he was more scary when he smiled as he portrayed a dirty set of missing tooth leaving a dark gap like a passage to hell,well it was hell to those who actually stepped on his tail.

Alex shivered slightly and shifted his gaze and coincidentally he met with Julian the savage,he smiled sweetly at him and blew a kiss for him.

   "Gosh"Alex muttered shifting on one foot.

Julian was outright disgusting to Alex,this was a man who would gladly,with a smile on his face cut you into beautiful bits and gladly feed on you.he was one of the deadliest with a wide range of connection that he was never caught no matter his offence.

Alex cleared his throat gently and forced a smile "so gentle men,we have this amazing assest up for auction and I bet you will love it".

There was no response from the men as they sat stoic sipping gently from their glass,this got him so nervous that the trembled slightly.he organized this gathering and not being able to satisfy this men spelt trouble for him.

  "So,I present to you one of nature's amazing gift"a spread his arm in a grand style with a slight bow.

The clinging sounds of chains could be heard afar off,the muffled screams of a person filled the quiet hall.there were sounds of shuffling feet and endless struggle.finally,the person was seen.

She was bounded in chains and her mouth was covered with a little house and padlocked behind her head,she was outright dirty and what was supposed to be a gown was turn into shreds exposing a good portion of her arm,laps and cleavages.
