Her head arched back, digging into the floor as the cords stuck out in her throat. A strange gurgling, gagging shriek was ripped from her throat as sh... pleaded with them to stop this insane torture.From the corner of her tear-blurred eyes she could see Rick laughing, then turning around to see the reactions of Doug and Jack.
