Chapter 41 Unmasked For Reality

Book:Dancing With Fate Published:2024-5-1

In all my years, I always got the job done, I left no survivors and I never got seen. I was a ghost, I went in and out even before the body hit the floor. I am the best, I had no enemies that were seen as my rivals. Something must have changed.
I have two faces staring back at me and I have no idea who they are. I can fully understand the man but I hardly ever take a woman. It is just something I will not do. The faces aren’t even familiar as I run through targets that I can remember.
Trayton ~”You will have to enlighten me but I don’t know who you damn assholes are.”
Man ~”Don’t tell me your fucking sick ass cannot make some sort of resemblance.”
Woman ~”I don’t care if he remembers, I want the sack of shit dead.”
Man ~”I told you we are not making it so easy for him.”
Woman ~”And I told you we should just waste his ass.”
Man ~”It was my fucking idea to catch the asshole.”
Woman ~”And I am the one that found him.”
Man ~”Should I take five minutes to applaud you? You were too damn stupid to know to even where to begin.”
Trayton ~”You two are the most stupid kidnappers that I have even seen. Good for you that you found me, as what your dumb asses think you can do to me remains to be seen.”
Man ~”You are so going to wish you never said that. I will take you bit by bit apart.”
Trayton ~”I don’t think you know how to torture your own hand.”
Woman ~”What if we just cut yours off?”
Trayton ~”That means you are going to have to untie. You better have to be faster than me then.”
Man ~”You quite sure of yourself.”
Trayton ~”I would not have gotten so far if I was not the best in the business.”
Man ~”What makes us then?”
Trayton ~”Two random idiots that think they can take me on.”
Woman ~”You not even going to ask who we are?”
Trayton ~”No cause the stupid bitch you are is going to get so frustrated that you are going to tell me and quite frankly I don’t really care.”
Man ~”I did not think that you were going to be so annoying.”
Trayton ~”Then why catch my annoying ass in the first place.”
Woman ~”You think we are going to fall for that.”
Trayton ~”I don’t think I know.”
Man ~”If you so damn clever then tell us.”
To be honest I still have no idea but I have a theory. What puzzles me is how someone would find me. Neither the bureau nor the cops know about me. I trust Bruce with my life, I must have pissed someone off so badly to go to this length and I can only come up with three.
Woman ~”Has your ass gone mute now?”
Trayton ~”I am waiting for your clever ass to say something and that does not seem like it is going to happen anytime soon.”
Man ~”You seem to forget who is holding the gun.”
Trayton ~”Do you really think that dinky toy is going to do anything?”
When I am in this mindset nothing seems to scare me. He takes the grip of the gun and smashes it into my left temple barely missing the corner of my eye. It hurts like a bitch but I do not flinch or say a word.
Trayton ~”Yes you definitely have a dinky two there. You have more luck breaking that thing than hurting me.”
Woman ~”I say waste his ass, his voice is irritating me.”
Man ~”What you say does not count for much.”
Woman ~”You seem to forget that I have a gun too.”
Man ~”Will you bitchy ass really shoot your brother.”
Trayton ~”Explains why both of you are equally dumb, you are unfortunately related.”
That clears one thing up. This is more personal for them. I am starting to lean towards revenge. Either I tried to off one of them, which is not the case because they would be dead. I must have off someone they knew. Still the question who was it and how did they find me.
…………………………………………..
With Kenton…
We need to find Trayton and we don’t know where to look. Whoever took him knew what they were doing or had help. We have narrowed them down to three people and we are on our way to two of them. I have no problem dragging it out of their asses if I have to.
We walk up to the apartment, not even worrying for us to be let him, we burst through the door.
Becca ~”Have you fucking assholes never heard about knocking?”
Kenton ~”Where is he?”
Becca ~”Where is who?”
Kenton ~”Your damn male slut.”
Becca ~”I have no idea whom you are talking about.”
Jackson ~”That fucking crazy asshole that lives with you. The one that struggles to walk these days.”
Becca ~”Are you talking about Joseph?”
Jackson ~”Who else lives with you? Or do you have a string of men running through here?”
Kenton ~”Are you really that stupid?”
Becca ~”He does not live here anymore. I kicked his ass out, he had more woman in here than I have fingers.”
Jackson ~”I don’t believe you.”
Becca ~”Then check the rooms out.”
Jackson goes upstairs to search the house only to come back a few minutes later with no Jo next to him.
Kenton ~”What do you know about Trayton?”
Becca ~”Know what about Trayton. You can get faster to your point if you don’t talk in riddles.”
Kenton ~”Do you know who took him?”
Becca ~”Why would I know that?”
Kenton ~”Because you pissed off enough to do something to him.”
Becca ~”I won’t waste my energy.”
Kenton ~”When last did you see Joseph?”
Becca ~”The l day Emma was here to fetch her stuff.”
Kenton ~”Do you know where he is?”
Becca ~”Fuck, why would I know where he is? Can’t you find him yourself?”
Jackson ~”Kenton I don’t think knows anything.”
Kenton ~”For her sake I hope so.”
As I thought, she doesn’t have the brain capacity to pull this off and Trayton did not do her so bad that she would get involved in something like this.
Guess we are going back to the club.
…………………………………………..
With Trayton…
I still have no idea who these two are but they have me for revenge, who is behind this I still don’t know. They are stupid enough to let it slip.
Trayton ~”So which unfortunate family member did I waste?”
Man ~”Do you really think that we are going to tell you?”
Trayton ~”So I did waste one of your family.”
Woman ~”You fucking idiot he was not supposed to know.”
Trayton ~”What is the point in killing me for revenge if you don’t tell me who it is?”
Man ~”He does have a good point there.”
Woman ~”You not supposed to fucking agree with him.”
Trayton ~”You two are an absolute joke. It’s a wonder that you manage to tie me up like this. Do you have another family member lurking around?”
Woman ~”Do you really think we are going to tell you?”
Trayton ~”Your dumb ass brother is going to slip it out anyway.”
Man ~”Whom you are calling dumb ass?”
Trayton ~”You with the dinky toy in your hand.”
He takes the grip of the gun and smashes it into my temple again, this time hitting me on the brow. I feel it tear into my flesh deep enough to feel the blood drip down my face.
Trayton ~”All you are doing is soaking that toy in my blood.”
Man ~”That is the whole purpose.”
Trayton ~”Are you going to stand here the whole day and hit me with your gun?”
Woman ~”You are really starting to annoy me.”
Man ~”They will be here any time now.”
Woman ~”You fucking idiot.”
Trayton ~”Told you. I did not think there be four of you. It is a pity that I could not bring my own date.”
Man ~”You are going to wish you dead once they are done with you.”
Trayton ~”I already wish I am because I can’t stand looking at your dumbass anymore, maybe put that thing back over my head.”
Man ~”What am I going to hit then.”
Trayton ~”Is that what you call that?”
Woman ~”For someone tied to a chair with a gun in your face you sure have a big mouth.”
Trayton ~”Because someone like me has nothing to lose if you decide to use those things that you call guns.”
Woman ~”What about that poor fiancé of yours, won’t she miss you.”
Trayton ~”I see you are more than just a pretty face.”
I must remain cool, I don’t want them to think that Ava is a weak point because they will go and take her. There are still only two people that would want to see me dead and I won’t be surprised if they the ones that are going to walk through that door.
…………………………………………..
With Kenton…
So that was a bust, we have ruled Becca out and we only left with two. Joseph has conveniently gone missing. Guess we have to go to our other option. We get to the club and immediately make it to the bar. We pull her from behind it and take her to the office.
Jacklyn ~”You know if you ask please I would have come with.”
Kenton ~”I am not in the mood for your wisecracks. Tell me where Trayton is.”
Jacklyn ~”Don’t tell me you have still not found your brother.”
Jackson ~”I don’t have patience for your shit. Unlike Kenton I don’t mind smacking a woman.”
Jacklyn ~”I am glad I’m not your wife.”
Kenton ~”Jacklyn I am not repeating myself. Where is Trayton?”
Jacklyn ~”Sorry to burst your bubble but you just did repeat yourself.”
Kenton ~”Jackson.”
Jackson ~”Which part of your body do you like the most? Because I am cutting it off.”
I watch her eyes widen as Jackson takes out his knife. Obviously we won’t hurt her but that is not something she knows.
Jacklyn ~”I really don’t know where he is and I don’t know who has him either. I want Trayton but I don’t want him dead. He is no good to me dead.”
Jackson ~”I think she is telling the truth.”
Kenton ~”Get back to work.”
Where the fuck do we find Joseph.
…………………………………………..
With Trayton…
I am patiently waiting for their mysterious partners in this stupid little kidnap game they are trying to pull off. If they did not tie me up so perfectly, I would have been loose ages ago.
Man ~”When are they going to be here, I am tired of babysitting this asshole?”
Woman ~”Can you stop telling this asshole everything he wants to know?”
Man ~”Put the thing back on his head, I think I heard a car.”
Woman ~”This is about to get interesting.”
They place the cover over my head and leave the room. It is pitch dark again. I can hear a scuffle and voices too faint to make out.
Then the door opens again.
I hear four sets of feet.
No one says a word.
Then the blows start to my face. It is not the first guy that is punching me but someone else. His blows come with force, every blow snaps my face in the opposite direction. I am taking a serious beating, my face hurts and I can feel cuts open randomly on my face. My eyes are starting to swell almost nearly shut.
Then very much to my horror the fuck shoots me in my leg.
Trayton ~”Aaahhh fuck.”
Man ~”Told you are going to regret it.”
Trayton ~”You too fucking stupid to have done it yourself.”
Mystery Woman ~”You can be glad we not cutting that whoring cock of yours off.”
I know the voice but I cannot place it. It is not Jacklyn or Becca. I have heard it before and it must have been at the club.
Trayton ~”Let’s guess you one of the sluts that I have slept with and you took it up too seriously.”
Mystery Woman ~”Would you like to know? You slept with so many woman, I don’t think where you can even start guessing.”
Trayton ~”Why don’t you save us the time and show me.”
The other man starts pounding on my face again. I don’t think I can keep my game face anymore. I am near collapsing but I am amazed that I have lasted so long. All that keeps me is my determination to get back to Ava.
Mystery Woman ~”What you say we let him out of his agony.”
The first mam starts lifting the thing of my head. Through swollen eyes I can make the faces of four people out. The first two that I know by now and two others that come clearly into focus once my eyes have adjusted to the light.
Trayton ~”You, I fucking knew it. And you, why the fuck are you here?”
Joseph ~”Do you really think you shoot a man and get away with it?”
Trayton ~”Who are your fucking lapdogs?”
Joseph ~”Let’s start at the beginning. Those two idiots over there want revenge on you for killing their brother.”
Trayton ~”Who the fuck are their brother?”
Joseph ~”Remember that cop you took out?”
Trayton ~”Seth Williams.”
Joseph ~”Exactly.”
Trayton ~”I don’t understand where the fuck they come in?”
Joseph ~”I needed someone that hated you just much as I do to grab you, do you really think I will expose myself that way. And I do not need to shoot you because he is going to do it. I am just here to watch you die a miserable death.”
Trayton ~”Where the fuck does she come in?”
Joseph ~”Do you really think that the way we treated the woman at the club will not come and bite you in the ass? I bumped into her one day and we discovered we both hated you equally as much. We used her daddy’s money to find these two assholes.”
Trayton ~”You all are fucking crazy.”
Mystery Woman ~”We will see who is crazy once you have a bullet in that pretty head.”
