Fifteenth Abduction [Accidental Video]

[cant_just_hang]

[The video comes up on two people sleeping. One of them is coffeenspeed. Rebecca is lying a bit awkwardly dressed in a tank top and a pair of pajama pants. She shifts, trying to get comfortable, squints and resists waking up in general then she feels the metal against her wrist. She goes completely still but it's clear from the tension in her body that she's

[It's hard to say which wakes Anthony, the thrashing, the sound or persistent tugging. But Anthony wakes up disorriented and looks around confused. There's a cuff around his wrist. There's a paniced girl, which makes his own levels of panic raise. And he's not at his apartment.]

[He quickly moves away, or as far as the handcuffs let him, eyes wide with shock, not entirely woken up yet]

Wha---??

[The handcuffs tug tighter and Rebecca stifles a whimper. She's got tears in her eyes and she's beyond seeing that Anthony isn't a threat. All she can see is Pony Man and what comes next.]

Please don't. I'll do anything you want. We can--Anything. Please.

Hey! Hey... I didn't do anything, wasn't me, I swear... [yet another attempt to move away] I'm not going to do anything...

Are you... Are you okay?

[The tone of his voice and his words sink in a bit. She raises one hand to shove her hair away from her face and really takes a look at him; really assesses the situation. Her heart ceases to want to pound out of her chest. Of course that doesn't mean it normalizes. He's in the same situation she is.]

I don't know what's going on. This is my room but--[She hesitates very slightly. She's not entirely sure she should give him her name]

I'm Becky---Rebecca Locke. [So easy to fall into old habits and names when the situation is familiar]

[absinthe_eyed]

What's going on?

[The clink of handcuffs can be heard. When Rebecca speaks it's a little tearfully. She sounds weaker, more vulnerable than usual]

We're handcuffed. So far...it's just being handcuffed.

[absinthe_eyed]

Handcuffed together?

It's a curse. It happens.

[cant_just_hang]

[She's narrowing her eyes at you; clearly uncertain]

Why? No one handcuffs people without reason.

[cuffyoutwice]

Rebecca? Rebecca, what's going on?

[cant_just_hang]

I"m...handcuffed to--I'm okay. I just--I'm fine, Chief. It's a curse and I'm handcuffed.

[Beckett is one of the few who might realize how bad this is for Rebecca as she knows what happened to her]

[cuffyoutwice]

Okay, just-- breathe. Do you need me to come help you?

[cant_just_hang]

[She wants to say yes. So badly but there's a part of her that rebels against that. She has to survive this and she has to survive this on her own. Or at the least with Anthony]

I--I'm home and I don't think Anthony means me any harm. I'll be okay.
