Tina was nodding off to sleep as her mom drove along the darkened freeway. Gina had been driving for four hours and it was getting to her. An attractive 43 year old, she was feeling her age in the aching of her back. She would glance occasionally to her pretty 18 year old daughter sitting next to her.
It had been a good trip. She had found the perfect private academy for Tina, one that would assure her a place among the social elite of Chicago. And no boys! This was a girls school, Tina could wait until after she graduated to date and then would be introduced to some worthy boys, there would be no fooling around until then. Gina sighed to herself and felt content at the future that had been laid this weekend.
Thinking about her conversation with the academy’s head mistress distracted Gina and she pulled off the freeway one exit too soon. A few bad turns and she became confused and couldn’t find her way back to the freeway and to her husband that would be waiting for her at home. Tina woke up when she heard the car doors powerlocked and looked around at the dirty brownstone buildings in this part of the city.
“What’s wrong mom? Are we lost?” She asked.
“No honey, it’s OK… we’ll be back on the freeway soon…” Gina said, trying to sound convincing but coming off as worried none the less.
Gina, stopping at a traffic light, saw figures running in the shadows and revved the engine, ready to streak off if they got any closer. Out of the blue a young black girl careened around a building corner and slammed into the side of Gina’s idling car. Several men were in fast pursuit.
“Please, lady! Get me out of here! They’re going to kill me! Let me in, let me in… Please… let me in!” The young women pleaded through Gina’s rolled up window. Tina sat bolt upright and stared, obviously scared. Gina looked grimly ahead and ignored the young woman.
“Mom, maybe we should help her… I mean, if she’s in trouble we could drive her to the police or something.” Tina ventured.
“Ignore her, she’s probably some kind of whore trying out a new scam on what she thinks are easy prey… well I’m not falling for it!” Gina ground out angrily.
“But, mom, what if she’s really in trouble?”
“Well, it has nothing to do with us and we’re not getting involved… hang on I’m driving through this light.” And with that Gina floored the car and left the desperate young black woman standing in the street.
A block and a half later Gina and Tina heard screaming and a gun shot, neither spoke.
After half an hour of driving around, Gina found the freeway entrance and was about to get back on her way when she noticed how low the fuel was. There was a very clean, welllit gas station across from the entrance ramp and she decided it would be safe enough to stop there and fuel up. She pulled into the station and drove to a “Full Service” pump. “Women never pump gas, at least not ladies” she thought. This had been told her many times by her mother and she was aiming to keep Tina in the same tradition.
A pleasant looking fellow came over to her window. He wore blue overhauls and his white kinky hair framed his weathered, black face.
“How much, ma’am?” He asked politely.
“Oh, fill her up!” Gina replied through her cracked window.
As the attendant idled over to the back of her car she noticed him looking nervously at something or someone in the station. He was frowning and stole several furtive glances at her before slowly, and deliberately nodding his head. This made Gina very nervous and she was about to say forget it and take off when she noticed a van pulling around the gas station and stopping in front of her car.
Gina called, frightened, out of her window, “What’s going on! What’s all this!!” But the attendant just set his jaw and stood by. The van door opened and four large black men stepped out, one wore a brown leather coat and was puffing on a cigar. By the deference accorded him, Gina assumed he was in charge. Crouched behind him was a young girl, sobbing and crying through her mascarastreaked face.
“Is that them? Two blonde women in a gray lexus, right?” The leader asked the girl. She looked up and then nodded before sinking back and sobbing some more. That seemed to be the cue, the other three men quickly surrounded the car and before Gina could floor it in reverse they all had their guns out and leveled at her and her daughter.
Stepping forward, the leader stood tall and took a long drag on his cigar, then flicked the stub at Gina’s windshield.
“Climb out of there easy… or I’ll have my boys scrape you out like an oyster out of a shell.” He said menacingly. Gina was terrified, but believed the threat and slowly unlocked their doors.
“Just do what they say, Tina, and I’m sure everything will be OK… I think they’ll ask daddy for some money and then we’ll be let free. I’m sure they just want some money.” Gina whispered over as she pulled her doors handle and heard it release. The man on her side yanked the door open and grabbed her by the arm, the one on the other side opened Tina’s door and held it for her while watching her with malice and no little lust in his eyes.
“I’m sure my husband will pay you whatever you want… if you don’t harm us.” Gina said defensively.
“Oh, really?” The leader quipped back, “and what if what I really want is to harm you? Then what?”
Tina looked at her feet, cowed and frightened, but Gina stared defiantly forward showing them that she was in charge. Before she could say anything in answer she was knocked to the ground and then picked up bodily and thrown into the back of the van. Tina began screaming but she was grabbed around the shoulders and thrown in, too.
All four men piled back into the van and the station attendant slipped behind the driver’s seat of the gray lexus. The van pulled away sharply and both Gina and Tina were bound with gray duct tape. Their ankles and wrists were taped, then taped together, and their mouths were sealed shut with tape. During the bumpy ride Gina was horrified to see one of the men fondling Tina’s breasts through her sweater and leering at herself.
