Luke and Violet - S01 E36

Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 36

me puking my brains out! This felt like I was waking up from the WORST kind of hangover ever! As I try to regain my breathe, I begin to smell the air in the room. I smell the aroma of bacon and maple syrup, and my fresh vomit of course. I look to the corner and see Clark eating away at the little desk in the room. He has a to-go bag from a local breakfast diner with a large tray. He sits down eating pancakes with eggs and bacon. He looks up at me and smiles.

"Oh Hey Luke! Rise and Shine! You must be starving! Why don't you get up and come grab a plate?"

He laughs when he says that last part. He's completely right though....I'm starving and dehydrated! It's been about a day since I've been trapped here!

I look over to the bed and see Violet. She's wide awake and is sitting upward with her back to the bedpost. Still tied and gagged, she stares at me, silently weeping.

Clark gets up and makes his way to me. He has a bottle of water in his hand.

"Where are my manners Luke? You MUST be thirsty! Here...have a sip."

Clark takes the bottle and dumps some water on my face. He chuckles as he makes his way over to Violet and does the same.

"My beautiful wife must be thirsty too...here take a sip."

I'm FUMING on the inside with rage!!! This pyscho seriously thinks he's going to get away with holding us hostage...he has another thing coming.

"HELPI SOMEBODY, ANYBODY HELP!!!! WE ARE BEING HELD HOST-

I can't finish my sentence as Clark slugs me straight in the face. He punched me so hard, I bit my tongue and immediately started to taste blood.

"SHUT UP! STOP YELLING! You scream one more time, and you're going to watch me beat my wife to a pulp! Understand??"

I can hear Violet starting to weep louder in the background as Clark regains his composure.

"Now...I think that you deserve some answers Luke. You've been here long enough and you're starting to piss me off with your here long enough and you're starting to piss me off with your agitation and questions. So....let us begin."

Clark pulls another chair and sits across face to face with me.

"Luke...I told you to stay far away from Violet for your safety...but here's the catch: SHE is the reason why we are all here spending some quality time together.

You see Luke.... Violet won't even make eye contact with me anymore unless spoken to. She won't talk to me, and does NOT make an effort to satisfy me when we're having sex! So....out of rage, I rough her up a bit demanding to know if she's still seeing you. And you know what she does?? Violet...My WIFE OF ALMOST 25 YEARS spits on my face and screams to me how she's in love with you...and how she can't STAND THE SIGHT OF ME!!!"

I can see the look of anger and hurt on Clark's face. I look to Violet as she's bawling her eyes out. My head is racing with millions of thoughts and regrets. I am flooded with a wave of guilt as I stare at Clark. His face is flashing red but I can see tears forming in his eyes.

"Luke... I've been away overseas for a really long time...the only communication with my wife is via phone and video chat. My whole marriage and having my kids...I've been in and out of their lives. Always away overseas....working. Sacrificing my time with my family for this country, It's been an honor doing so but has NEVER been easy for me being away for months at a time from my family. I've missed many important holidays, birthdays, graduations, you name it!

I decide I'm sick of always missing out on my family...and being away from my lovely wife who I LOVE dearly...and you know what I do? I spend the last TWO YEARS racking up paid time off from work and decide to come home and surprise my wife.....and spend some quality time with her for as long as I can. And guess what I come home to? An affair, emotional drama, and now...betrayal!"

As I listen to Clark spitting his anger and hurt out at me, sit with my head down to the floor, soaking it all in. I know this is all my fault. He continues on.

"Luke...you've cost me so much in the very little time I've known

you. You are to blame for wrecking my marriage and taking away

the love of my life."

Clark gets up and walks to the desk. He picks up an object and makes his way over to Violet on the bed.

She stares at Clark while she tries to catch her breath from all the crying

"So dear... Luke is the love of your life huh?" He takes the object and holds it upright in the air for the both of us to see. It's a knife! More specifically, a pocket knife with a large, sharp blade.

He then pulls out a small torch from a bag he has on the desk and plays with the switch, exposing the flame. He walks right over to me and lets me hear the hissing sound of the flame when he plays with it.

"I've suffered enough dear. All this has been very painful for me. I figured it's time I shed some of that pain and suffering.....and share it with the love of your life."

My heart hits the ground in terror. I don't know what he means when he says he wants me to feel his pain. I'm guessing it involves his knife and lighter.

I hear Violet start to shout, but her voice is muffled due to the gag. Clark pulls my chair forward to the bed and faces me to her. Nervously, I try to calm her down as she starts to whimper.

"Violet...it's going to be ok. Whatever happens."

I look up at Clark as he laughs sarcastically.

"Luke, I'm not so sure you will be, but it's a cute thought."

He takes the torch and heats up his knife in hand. I start to break down.

"Clark...please! You don't have to do this! I'll cut all ties with her I swear to God!!! I won't tell ANYONE about this!!! I'll leave you two alone!! I'll spend the rest of my summer away from home and not come back!!! Think about what you're doing Clark!!!"

He shakes his head with a look of disapproval as he ignores me. I can smell the heat of the blade as he continues to fire it up. Violet shakes the bed as she tries to free herself from her cuffs, shouting for her husband to stop with her gag on.

Clark then shows me the blade of his knife. It's so hot, It's red! He smiles as he holds the knife to my ear. I can hear it sizzling.

"So part of my work in the military Luke...let's just say...is "So part of my work in the military Luke...let's just say...is classified. One thing me and my team overseas do are interrogations. We interrogate those that hold onto information of our enemies. We're good at squeezing the truth out of them, one way or another.

This right here is a SPECIAL technique that works like a charm. It's my favorite! By the time my knife is SCORCHING HOT and sizzling, you should see how fast people weep like little pussies and cave in giving us the information we need."
