Baggage Claim (Part Three)

Genevieve jolted awake from her nightmare into another. Her face was pressed against the rank ground that smelled like a zoo. She cringed and attempted to push herself up, but her sore muscles protested.
Slow, distant footfalls grew louder until they stopped a few feet away from her cell. She heard his evil sneer as she squeezed her eyes closed, hoping he wouldn’t notice her consciousness.
“Ready to decide?” The voice spewed out.
Genevieve forced her fears away once more and opened her eyes to glare at him. “I would rather die than become your prostitute again.”
“Such a waste of a quality piece of meat...”
The pin-pricks of the Taser needles pierced her skin and the violent vibrations of electricity rocked her back into unconsciousness.
