“Where are you taking me?”
He flexes them some more.
“Jason!” I yell.
He says nothing. Not a fucking thing.

It’s been over an hour and I see nothing but trees. He’s not saying anything and neither am I. I need to get back. This is nuts!
I scroll through contacts on my phone and am about to call Dani when my phone is snatched out of my hand with him saying, “Oh no you don’t,” before the jackass yeets my damn phone out the open window!
I gasp indignantly before I shout, “You just threw my fucking phone out the window!”
“Damn straight I did,” he shouts back. “You’re not calling that bitch and getting her to cast another spell on me.”
“Do not call her that!” I demand. “Pull over and let me find my phone.”
His lip is curled.
“Pull. Over.”
“No.”
He speeds up.
“Pull over, Jason!”
He laughs. Bitterly.
“So… you’re kidnapping me?” I ask, incredulous.
“That’s right,” he answers, gripping the steering wheel a little tighter.
He looks more than a little unhinged right now.
And my head just might explode.
Opportunity presents itself as we drive through a hamlet with a restaurant, gas station, and supermarket. We’ve dealt with two stop signs and there’s another coming up at what looks like a busy intersection. I ready myself and as soon as we stop, I whip my seatbelt off and hit the unlock button before I pull on the door handle.
But it won’t move, so I snap it again, like there will suddenly be a different outcome and there’s not onlynota different outcome, but also… we’re moving again and Jase has a cocky smile on his jerk face.
“Child locks,” he informs, “Because my mate has been acting like a child.”
I gasp in shock at the audacity.
“Where are you taking me?” I demand.
“I don’t know,” he admits. “Maybe somewhere they can’t cast a new spell so this one’ll just… expire.”
Oh gosh, no.
“This isn’t cool, Jason. I have shit to do today.”
“Oh yeah, I bet you do,” he says. “You’ve got your whole day mapped out, don’t you?”
“As a matter of fact, yes.”
