You’d have thought I had electrocuted them, the way they thrashed about.
“It’s almost fitting, don’t you think? You two were filthy rats, the way you treated your spouses. You kept us in the dark, and now you get to live out your lives in the dark.”
Retrieving another water bottle, from my cargo shorts, I wasted no time emptying it. I’d worked up quite a sweat carrying those two.
“You’ll need water to survive, so just dunk your head in any of the pools of water that you find. Be careful as some of them are deep enough to trap you. There are no sharp edges to cling to and they are so slippery that if you slide in, you’ll never get out. Watch yourself as you scurry along in the dark, as the drop-offs can be several hundred feet down. Make one wrong turn and you could end up two thousand feet below the surface.”
Both were sobbing and gasping for air. I manhandled each such that I could duct tape their feet to each other. When I leave, I didn’t want them jumping up and chasing after me.
“Now I’ll admit I’m one sick fuck. I’m getting a kick out of this, but I’ll let you have a fighting chance. Those gags don’t normally have a padlock on them, but yours do. I really don’t want you to be screaming your heads off, although you’d likely invite predators before humans found you. I’m not THAT sporting, but I’ll cut your hands free before I leave. You’ll have to work together to remove the rest of the duct tape restraining you. It will be pitch black. Spencer knows all about it as he’s been here over an hour now. Here Robin, let me show you.”
I turned off my miner’s light. If you’ve never been in a cave without light, you cannot begin to appreciate complete darkness. Flipping the switch, my light came back to life. I breathed a sigh of relief. Even though I knew the way out, doing it without lights would be next to impossible.
“Still think I’m going to pay your slut ass for the next sixteen years bitch? Now it’s going to be some other lady YOUR kids are calling MOMMY. I’d ask you for your last requests, but guess what, I don’t care. I hope you and your maker can come to some agreement on how you lived your lives.”
Just in case Spencer was thinking about having sex with Robin, I decided to delay it a bit.
“This is what I think about guys that fuck other men’s wives.”
He tried to avoid my heel, but when I stomped on his nuts, he passed out. After cutting the duct tape restraining their arms, I left without a word, and definitely no regrets. I heard Robin’s muffled cries echo into the darkness.
After I left the cave, I put Robin and Spencer’s clothing and personal belongings, including their cell phones, in their respective cars. Even though the opening to the cave was a thousand yards away, there was only a small chance that a search party would enter the cave. Noises echo and there are thousands of twists and turns. And there are bears. The lake was only fifty yards away and the seaweed had been known to grab ankles and drown people. Deep down I was sure that I screwed up something and they’d pin this on me.
