Even
though all I wanted to do was, kill those motherfuckers.
As
he set his burner phone away, Dec passes the following information. “ Sinbad ’ s
agreed to a sit-down. 8.30 this evening at the back of the old
warehouse. ”
Acknowledging
that I heard and understand what he is telling me. Sinbad is the
president of the Scarlet Runners, one of our customers and allies.
As I incline my head, I begin , picking up several items, examining
them to figure out which one I want to use first.
“ Get
Fudge and Twiggy to check out the warehouse and surrounding areas. We
don‘t want or need any surprises. ”
Using
the burner, it is not long before Dec places the necessary
arrangements for the meeting.
“ VP,
is everything in place? ”
Linc ’ s
eyes are cold as mine, as he turns to me; he too has been over the
instruments a couple of times. Everyone understands, Mickey and Toad
will not be leaving here alive.
“ Yep,
and the boys are here. Their coming through the back. ”
“ Good. ” My blood has started to pump and I feel more alive than I have,
since waking this morning. I am more than
ready for this kill. No one hurts Baby Blu, that was their big
mistake.
The
MC Brothers are in the basement with Mickey and Toad. Like Dec and
Tabby, Mickey has Irish background, all three had grown up together
in the same district of Comfort Springs.
Mickey
had been a two-bit thief, joining Black County Stewards while in
prison for his second offence. He is roughly five eight with lanky
greasy brown shoulder length hair, with wiry build. Toad is one fat
fucker. His dark hair unwashed, and down his back, with streaks of
gray. His face covered in hair, with his beard long, reaching his
collarbone. Brown eyes, dead, but as he is shoved into one of the
vacant chairs, they begin to show a little fear.
“ Hello
boys. Welcome to my house of fun ” I
smile at them. I am feeling elated, this is
going to be fun.
“ Tabby,
Dec, tie them down tight, but leave one of Mickey’s hands
free.”
Mickey
was going first and Toad was to watch everything. He would not be
touched for hours. Hell I might leave him until after the meeting
with the Scarlet Runners. After all, he was already starting to
sweat and leaving him to stew in his own juice was making me feel
elated. All I could see is how Baby Blu had looked when I had left
her in the bedroom. They had to pay for being responsible for the
look of horror on her face.
Apprehension
is good for the soul; well it is good for
mine.
While
I walk round Mickey, I play with the pliers that are in my hand,
closing and opening the ends, snapping them shut, waving them under
his nose. The adrenaline pounds through my body; I am on edge, eager
to cause pain to these two bastards. Soon I forget about the wound to
my shoulder or the pain that I am in, the euphoria takes care of that
irritation.
Trax
cranks the music up. The room may be sound proof, but, we still do
not want to draw attention to what is going
on down here.
“ Welcome
to Paradise City. ” I whisper in
Mickey ’ s ear, lifting his free hand
to place on the table. As I place the pliers next to Mickey, I
collect the hammer and nail his hand to the table. The six-inch nail
goes through the center, now he is unable to move his hand. Then,
with the hammer, I bang each finger flat, hearing bones break; next,
I pick up the pliers again, to pull each fingernail out.
I am not a nice man; I never said that I was. The way I am today
has nothing to do with the way my parents raised me. I come from a
good home, both of them loving me. I chose this life freely, with no
desire to change.
“ You
fuck with me and what ’ s mine, I fuck
right back. ”
None
of the brothers interfere, nor will they stop me, from what I am doing or what I am about to do.
Leaning
back, to take a long deep look at my handy work.
“ What
do you think VP, does it look good ” I
gloat.
“ Do
you think I should ask questions now, or should
