Dimitri POV
……
” I can go get your sweatpants for you.” Mary offers.
I shake my head, ” No, I got it.” I give my gun to Lucia, before walking out of the living room with my trench coat and shirt in my left hand. I walk down the hallway and into mine and Amara bedroom.
Seeing both Amara and Sadie sound asleep. I quietly set my clothes into the laundry basket, before going over to my black bag full of clothes that was in the corner of the room. I lean down causing pain to shoot through my back. I clench my jaw as I unzip the bag. I dig around until I find a my gray colored sweatpants.
” Dada?” I hear a small voice say in a tired tone.
Fuck!
I let out a quiet sigh as I slowly stand upright with my sweatpants in my left hand. ” Go back to sleep baby.” I whisper to her.
Looking over at her I watch her nod at me before laying back down.
That was easy. I guess she is still really tired. She has had a hard last few hours. Especially crying for me and Amara.
I unbuckle and unbutton my pants. I take them off and feel instant relief around my waist and lower back. I toss the pants into the laundry basket before slipping on the sweatpants.
This is a lot better than wearing jeans. I guess I am wearing sweatpants until my burns heal. I am definitely going to repay Daniel and his two morons for trying to burn me alive. They almost succeeded in killing me, but seems the devil is on my side.
Walking over to the bed I see Sadie is fast asleep with her thumb in her mouth. I grab the blanket with my left hand and gently tuck her back under the blanket.
I glance over at Amara to see that she is still sleeping peaceful on the bed. I quietly walk around the bed and lean down kisses Amara on her forehead.
” I love you.” I whisper quietly to her before leaving the bedroom. I shut the door quietly behind and head back down the hallway. Once I get to the end of the hallway. I open the door on my right and go down the wooden steps with pain shooting throughout my body. ” Damn it is cold down here.” I says loudly as my bare feet make contact with the cold concrete at the bottom of the stairs.
” Tell us about it. I been freezing my ass off waiting for you.” Liam tells me. He was sitting on top of a wooden crate. As Lucia was leaning against a metal pole.
Lucia scoffs, ” Speak for yourself. I froze my balls off.”
” You would need to have balls in the first place for them to freeze off.” Liam shoots back.
I watch them glare at each other before a muffled cry gets our attention.
I look over at the chief who was sitting in a metal chair with his hands tied behind his back, and both legs tied to the chair legs.
He looks at me with panicked eyes as he continues to have a muffle conversation with me. I can’t understand him, but I am guess he is begging for his life. They always beg for their lives and make lame excuses in the end.
I walk over to the chief and pull the tape that was over his mouth off. ” D-Dimitri P-please I won’t take from you a-again! I s-swear!” He stutters out to me.
” You wouldn’t be in this situation. If you didn’t steal from me. You are only sorry because you got caught.” I says walking over towards the table filled with weapons. I see my gun I had handed Lucia a few minutes earlier on the top left of the table.
” You can’t do this Dimitri! P-people will come looking for me! I am the chief of police!” He yells angrily at me.
I start laughing, ” You will be missed, but no one is going to come after me. I run this town and pretty much this whole fucking state! Yet, you had the nerve to steal from me!” I snap at him and pick up a pair of pliers.
” It wasn’t my idea! Honest it wasn’t!” The chief cries out to me.
” Ohh? Who idea was it than?” Liam asked him with a smirk.
” I d-dont remember h-his n-name.” The chief stutters out.
Walking towards him with the pliers in my left hand. I watch his eyes go wide as I place the pliers on the nail of his index finger. ” I think you do know. Now you have two seconds to tell me.” I say tugging slightly on his nail.
” W-wait! I am telling you the t-truth!” He yells out at me.
” I doubt that.” I say coldly as I rip his nail clean off his index finger. They is a slight tearing sound as flesh and nail are being ripped apart. I smirk watching the blood starting to flow from his index finger.
I listen to him cry and watch him shake his head, ” I really don’t k-know!”
Looks like I get to have a lot more fun. I do have some anger to work out. So, if he doesn’t give me something. I might just torture him to death instead of making it a quick death.
I place the pliers onto his thumb nail. ” Come on, give me something or your going to have a slow and painful death.” I tell him through gritted teeth.
” I don’t know.” The chief tells me as he makes eye contact with me. I watch the way he starts to shift uncomfortable in his seat as stares at me before looking down.
He is lying and we both know it.
I take the pliers off of his thumb nail and walk back over to the metal table. ” Let’s play a new game. Suddenly ripping off all your finger nails doesn’t seem very fun anymore.”
I scan the table before picking up my knife I use to skin people alive. I walk back over to the chief. I use the knife to cut open his police uniform. Until his bare hairy chest is in my view.
” Last chance Danny.” I say finally using his real name.
” I don’t know who’s idea it was.” Danny says with pleading eyes. I dig my knife into his chest. I dig just enough to peel the skin away from the muscle. Danny’s cries and screams fill the air.
” God damn! He is a crybaby!” Liam says as he shoves a blue rag into Danny’s mouth to keep him quiet.
He knows who it is that originally stole from me. The amount of drugs he had in is car. Isn’t even half of what went missing. He only had about twenty pounds in his trunk. When I am missing about four thousand pounds from my warehouse. I even got rid of all the gaurds that were there when it went missing.
So, I know it has to be an outsider.
Feeling the stickiness of the blood on my hands as I crave a huge piece of flesh from Danny’s chest. I listen to the way the skin rips off the muscle making a wet sound. I than hold the huge piece of skin up showing Danny with my blood covered hands.
” Just getting this piece of flesh off your chest has really made my right arm and back hurt. Which is why I am going to let Lucia take over. If you don’t tell me who you are protecting.” I snap at him and take the rag out of his mouth.
” Okay, just please stop.” Danny says with tears in his eyes.
” Who is it Danny!” I ask impatiently.
” I got the drugs off of my little brother. Him and a group of friends got paid by Ramsey to steal the drugs. They were suppose to take it all to Ramsey, but my stupid brother kept some of it. So, I took it from my brother to find somewhere to dump it.” Danny says with tears starting to stream down his face.
Ramsey is a pimp that runs a strip club. Why the hell would he pay a bunch of morons to steal from me. It’s no wonder Danny was playing dumb with me. He was protecting his little brother. I admire that in a person. He put his family first before everything.
Dropping the piece of flesh onto the concrete it makes a wet slapping sounds as it makes contact.
” So, I can leave?” Danny asked me.
” Yeah…” I say walking back over to the metal table. I place the knife on the table and grab my gun.
I take the safety off before tuning around. I hold the gun up and shoot Danny right between the eyes. The gunshot echos throughout the basement.
