Work Text:
Russell:'stirs, he slowly opens his eyes and looks around the area, he groans and tries to remember what happened to him'
He sits up and looks around the area.
Russell:'thinks'what the......this is strange, i don't remember sleeping in this spot, where am i?
He looked at himself and realized his hands were tied in front of him, his ankles were tied together and a cloth was wrapped around his mouth, and he felt a piece of tape on his mouth, the cloth was probably there to make sure he would stay silent in case someone was nearby.
Russell:'thinks'i guess you ever brought me here wanted to make sure I would stay quiet.
He looks around and sees a bit of light coming from underneath the door.
Russell:'thinks'and that means I'm somewhere that people will most likely find me, i'm guessing whoever brought me here didn't have a lot of options on where they can keep me, i sound like a freaking zoo animal like now, but I'm more like a hostage at this point, I need to figure out who did this to me and why.
He tries to get out of the ropes but it doesn't works'
Russell:'thinks'I guess wherever tied me up must be really good at tying knots, I'll need the kids in mine in case I don't find out the identity but I can figure out some attributes.
Then the door opens and a man walks towards russell.
Man: darling, It looks like you finally decided to wake up after such a long nap.
Russell's eyes widened, in front of him was his ex-husband.
Man: I know it must be a shock to see me again, I should be saying the same thing about you though, I thought you died, But when I saw you I just knew that you were you.
Russell:'whimpers when the man grabs his face'
Man: You know I don't like liars, Especially when they try to run away from me, You know I don't like that at all, You make it seem like I'm an awful husband to my friends!
Russell:’glares at him’
Man: you ungrateful whore! You aren’t even sorry at all!
The man slaps Russell, who falls to the ground and whimpers, Russell looks at the man as a red mark appears on his face.
Man: You should be grateful that I married someone like you! no one else would look in your direction but me! I made you have kids, you told me you always wanted a family and I gave you one! and now you are being so ungrateful because of my generosity!
Russell: mphhh!
Man:'pulls his hair'
Russell:'whimpers due to the pain'
Man:'throws him to the ground, and is about to kick him, but stops'
Russell:'confused'
Man:'lifts him up and whispers in his ear'i know what you're trying to hide from your coworkers.
Russell:'eyes widened'
Man: oh, don't be so scared, I'm not a monster, be grateful I'm not going to beat you, and I'm going to give you some good food, so be grateful for that.
He walks off and returns with a tray of food, he places it down and unties russell.
Russell: You can't keep me here forever, you know.
Man:'grabs his wrist'don't try to fight me or else i'll hurt you, and we both know you don't want that.
Russell:'glares at the man but stays silent'
Man:'smirks and closes the door, he locks it before walking away'
Russell:'rubs his wrists before he removes the cloth and tape off of his mouth'ow......well, my mouth is going to be stinging for a while.
He looks at the food and sees it's a salad, he sees a note on the side and picks it up, he reads what was on the note.
"you should lose a few pounds"
Russell:'growls and rips the note in half, he throws it behind him and unties his ankles'
He tried to open the door but it was locked, he heard the rattles of chains and growls.
Russell: he chained the door closed, is he crazy or what?! Does he have any idea that I could die here from heat exhaustion?! this is ivywood we're in right now! fucking ivywood!
He wanted to kick something but couldn't, so he sat back down and curled up.
Russell: I can't believe this is actually happening to me......
Then he looks at the salad and glares at him.
Russell: He still has problems with my weight, it's not my fault, I'm just glad to be at a healthy weight and he's trying to ruin it, but I won't let his mind tricks affect me this time, I'm not the same naive person I was years ago.
He waits for a while, but as time passes, he becomes more and more exhausted, he still had the salad and a water bottle that he took a few sips out of to stay hydrated.
Russell: I'm sure someone noticed that I'm gone......right? there's no way lazara would just ignore the fact that i'm missing, especially since we're now in ivywood.
He lays down and grabs a shirt, it was the man's old shirt and he sighs.
flashback.
The man is there and working on something when he feels someone cover his eyes.
Man: darling, i know that's you.
He hears chuckles and looks behind him, the figure that was supposed to be Russell looks blurry like a picture with a blurry stain on it to make the person look like it was taken by accident.
Russell: Well, it's nice to spend time with my wonderful husband, but I am sorry for making you so mad last night.
Man: Well, I did give you flowers this morning as my way to apologize for what I did, plus, they were on sale.
Russell: You didn't have to do that for me, you know.
Man:'kisses Russell's cheek'well, I need to go to work now, now behave, or else I'll need to teach you another lesson and make sure you regret it.
Russell:'leans close to the man and lays his head on the man's chest'i promise i'll behave.
Man:'kisses russell's forehead gently'good girl, remember to behave, you know i hate it when i have to punish you, and your blood takes forever to clean out of the carpet.
Russell: I know darling, I know......
End of flashback.
Russell:'hugging the shirt and tearing up'i am not supposed to love you anymore.....i hate remembering my past.......i-i hate it.
He was shaking and was starting to have trouble breathing, he was having a panic attack because he couldn't let go of the past no matter what.
Russell:'hears footsteps'hello?
Lazara: Russell, are you in here? we found out where you are and we're looking for you!
Russell:'bangs on the door'get me out! please! I'm in some kind of closet or something! The door has chains on it to keep me from getting out! I don't know how much longer I can stand it in here, please get me out of here, please!
Amy: Russell, we're here to save you! And I brought a chainsaw with me!
Lazara: when did you buy a chainsaw?!
Amy: oh, Frank gave it to me for safety reasons!
Lazara: I am not saving him if we get in trouble with using a chainsaw! And what if it hits Russell by accident and we kill him?!
Amy:.......oh.
Russell: I would like to keep all of my blood in my body please!
Lazara: I found an ax!
Russell: At least it's not as dangerous as a chainsaw, so hopefully, I'll live to see another day!
Then an ax appears by Russell and he screams, he falls down and looks at the sharp ax that could have cracked his skull open.
Russell: warn me first before you use that ax!
Lazara: sorry!
After a few more hits, the door opens and Russell falls down.
Russell: ow......it looks like i live to see another day.
Amy:'hugs him'oh russell, i was so worried about you! i thought that someone killed you! i was scared that you were gone! i'm just so happy we manage to find you in time!
Russell: How did you find me anyway?
Lazara: Well, this house did have reports that someone was squatting here illegally.
Russell: huh?
Lazara: this house was abandoned almost 6 years ago, the original homeowner didn't pay the bills in time, he said his wife died 6 years ago, along with his children, it was just a whole issue, the man is still on the run though, so we need to be careful with how we handle this situation, especially since you were held hostage here, did you get a good look at the man?
Russell: I did.......he was 6,0 feet tall, just an inch shorter than yann, he had.....cold blue eyes, and messy black hair, i could even see a bit of gray in it due to what he went through.
Lazara: how old is the guy to already have gray hair?
Russell: I don't know, but he was older than me, so he was in his thirties and it is possible to get gray hair in your thirties.
Lazara: the guy is in his thirties, but his wife's age is unknown for some weird reason, like he didn't want anyone to know for some weird reason.
Russell: Maybe he didn't want to remember the pain of losing her, people have their reasons after all.
Amy: I hope we find out what happened, but why would this man kidnap russell? Did he want to scare us?
Lazara: he wanted to send us a message.
Amy: A message? What kind of message did he want to send us?
Lazara: that he isn't scared of going after our teammates, that he isn't scared of the possibilities of getting caught by us, he doesn't want to look like a coward at all, so he's gone down even more, he's gone down a new low just to scare us.
Russell:'puts his hand on her shoulder'
Lazara: we need to focus on finding this man, and find enough proof to arrest him.
Russell: I know you will.
Amy: And I'll help! no one hurts my friends and gets away with it!
Russell:'smiles at her'
