Alexander’s POV
“Did you tie them to the Chair?.” I said to Pablo gesturing to the brothers that just sat quietly. They could have easily tried to escape but they just sat calmly. They were so calm in this situation which wasn’t a usual occurrence.
“Fuck!, no I didn’t.” He rushed to their corner and began tying them up to the chair.
“Just wow!.” Mitch scoffed.
“Exactly what i need now. More incompetent people working for me.” I shook my head and sighed.
“You can’t blame me though, when I got in, you both just ambushed me with questions.” He explained and moved to tie up the second brother. “I was so busy trying to answer your questions that I forgot to tie them up.”
“You always have an excuse for your incompetence.” Mitch said as he broke into a fit of laughter.
“Enough already!.” I barked out as Pablo and Mitch were about to get into another fight. “Get the hoods off!.” I said gesturing to Mitch as i waved my hand towards the brothers on the chair with the gun in my hand.
Mitch and Pablo shared a look and busted in to laughter. I massaged my temple with my gun and flashed them a confused look but shrugged it off as them being clowns as usual.
Pablo took a seat and picked up a glass and Mitch went towards the brothers and grabbed the cotton bag on the brothers’ head and ripped it off.
“Welcome Harpers.” I said coldly. “I’m sure you’re glad to reunite with your employer or ex-employer.” I said with a chuckle.
They squinted their eyes as they tried to focus in the dark lightening. As soon as their eyes landed on me, a small smirk formed on their faces. Tyler, the youngest said something that was muffled through the gag.
“Take off the gag”. I said to Mitch as I glared at the brothers who had an amused glint in their eyes.
Mitch moved and forcefully pulled off the gag from their mouths. ” How delightful.” Tyler said with a smirk.
“It’s about time.” Tim said with a chuckle. “We were wondering when we would finally get the pleasure to meet with our ’employer’.”
“I’m glad you’re just as excited as I am to meet you both.” I said coldly as I pulled a chair and sat in front of them.
“Mmm”. Tim scoffed as he looked around the place.
“Is it to your fancy?.” I asked as I waved my hands, gesturing to the torture room.
“Mmm, it’ll do.” He shrugged with a chuckle and his brother joined in.
“Enough!!”. I barked out coldly. “It appears to me that you were expecting or rather anticipating this ‘meeting’, right?.” I asked as I cocked my head.
“Took you long enough.” Tyler scoffed.
“What did you say?.”Mitch charged at him immediately and threw a punch to his mouth.
“Fuck!!.” He cried out.
“Tsk tsk tsk.” I tsked. I do find it hard to believe that you both were my employees for over two years and still act like this in front me, knowing exactly what I’m capable of.” I said coldly as I massaged Tyler’s mouth with the barrel of my gun causing him to scream in agony.
It was music to my ears.
“I think I’m in the mood to play a game.” I said with a chuckle as I brought my drink to my lips.
“A game?.” Tim scoffed flashing me a glare.
“Yes. Don’t we all agree that the weather is good for a game?.” I asked, turning to Mitch and Pablo.
“Yeah, it is.” Mitch said with a smirk.
“Damn right.” Pablo added with a laugh.
The Harper brothers just stared at us in confusion. “Don’t you think so Tim?.” I asked in a deep low tone.
“No!.” He spat out.
A satisfied smirk formed on my face but as quickly as it formed, it was gone. I jumped up abruptly from my seat and hit Tim on his mouth with my gun. “DON’T YOU THINK SO TIM?!!. ” I asked again in a higher tone.
“Fuck yes!!.” He cried out in pain.
“Good.” I flashed him a sweet smile and returned to my seat.
“Don’t you think so Tyler?.” I turned to him with raised brows.
He hesitated for a second, glaring at me. “Okay then.” I sighed and I was about to gift him like I did to his brother when he responded.
“Yes it is.” He blurted out.
“Good boys.” I chuckled darkly with Pablo and Mitch as I moved around them to patt their heads. They tried to resist but they were restrained by the ropes that kept them glued to their seats.
“Now let’s play my favorite game.” I took a seat in front of them once again with raised hands. “But first let’s all listen to the rules hmm?, I like to play fair.” I said with a smirk.
“Yeah.” Mitch added with a chuckle.
“It goes like this.” I said as I swept my eyes over the brothers. “I ask you a question, you respond quickly with the correct answer and you get points.” I said with a wide smile etched on my face. “Isn’t that fun?.”
“And if we don’t respond with the ‘correct answer’ how would you know?.” Tyler said with a chuckle.
“And what would you do?.” Tim said with a smug grin on his face.
“Well, curious are we now.” I sighed as I gave a nod to Mitch and Pablo. “Allow me to demonstrate.” I said in a dramatic tone and chuckled as I watched them stroll back with my favorite tools.
“Permit me to use your brother for this demonstration.” I said to Tim who just glared at me in return. “After all he asked the first question, I’d like to feed his curiosity.”
I grabbed Tim’s jaw and forced him to look at me as i flashed him a toothy grin before turning to his brother. “So tell me. Why are you working for Chase?.” I asked directing my question to Tyler.
“Really?.” He laughed mockingly.
“Was that the correct answer?”. I turned to Pablo and Mitch.
“Noooooooo!!.” They booed.
“You gave a wrong answer Tyler, after hearing the rules.” I said softly as I browsed through my tools. “What does that say about you huh?.” I asked with a twisted grin as I grabbed his fingers and pinned them to the chair with a knife.
He screamed out in pain and his brother grunted out in frustration. “Now here’s the fun part!.” I said in a pitched tone as I dragged his thumb and began carving out his nails.
“Ahhhhhhhhhh.” Tyler screamed in pain. Blood gushed out as I continued digging.
“No o, let him go” Tim screamed. “We don’t work for Chase. We contacted him ourselves!!.” He screamed out.
“Now that’s a correct answer from Tim but does he earn a point?.” I asked with cocked brows.
“No, he doesn’t.” Pablo responded.
“Why if you may ask, the question wasn’t directed you.” I paused as I explained, leaving my knife hanging in the air with blood dripping off it. “Whoever the question was directed to has to answer else I keep having my fun.” I smiled at Tyler as I resumed digging into his nails.
“Give the damn answer!.” Tim screamed at Tyler.
“We… Ahhhh, contacted him ourselves…”. He said as he struggled to speak.
“Now there we have it.” I sighed and put down my knife. “Now did you understand the rules based on my little demonstration.” I asked with a smile.
“Yes.” Tim responded immediately.
“Mm”. Tyler managed to respond as he continued grunting in pain as tears pooled from his eyes.
“You see there is something else I failed to mention.” I paused as I eyed Tyler before abruptly pulling the knife that kept his hand in place out. “Once I ask a question, I expect the correct answer immediately but if you fail to do so or decide to respond at a later time, you do so at own peril.” I continued speaking as I ignored Tyler screaming in agony.
His eyes were bloodshot and his screams were frantic. There was something about this type of torture. It was like the most painful thing on earth after the pain of giving birth obviously which technically I can’t testify but women say so as well as studies. ( I guess women will adore me now?).
Well back to the initial topic. It was so painful, it was meeting death eye to eye but death refuses to welcome you. It’s like all your organs are being cut out except for one string that’s keeping you alive, but you desperately want to cut off that string to end your suffering.
I couldn’t blame him if he continued screaming and crying all through this meeting.
I twirled my knife in my hand and leaned closer to the brothers. “I always look for an excuse to make people suffer”. I said in a low menacing tone. “Don’t give me one.”
I brought my glass to my lips and chunked down my drink. I placed my tools carefully on the table again before turning to them. “Now that we’re all familiar with the rules. Let the game begin.”
