Dimitri POV
………
I watch my men check the ropes and give them a nice tug, before one of them speaks to me. ” The ropes are nice and tight. They aren’t going to coming undone.”
” Good, get in the SUV and start them up.” I order them.
I got this form of punishment from a movie I once saw, but they were using horses and not vehicles. Each horse would walk in a different direction, pulling each body part slowly off.
It is a painful and slow death. He will feel nothing but pain until he dies from blood loss or until his head pops off. Although I have been told that your brain is still active a few seconds after death. So, maybe he will witness his body being pulled apart from a distance.
Which reminds me I should have given those traitors and his squad members a painful death. Along side their boss that thought he could actually arrest me.
If I would have kept them alive. I could have made him watch his squad members get pulled apart one by one. Until it was his turn to die, but since he is the only one left. His death will just have to due in satisfying my anger.
The sound of all the SUV starting up catches my attention. I press play on the camera, and look up to see one of my men hanging his head out the driverside window. I give him a thumbs up and listen to him revving up his engine.
The engine revving gets the attention of the other man. Giving them the signal to start moving forward.
I watch as the ropes tighten and lift the man into the air. He screams in pain and continues to spit out insults at me.
” You will burn in hell for this!! You sick son of a bitch!” He spits out in anger.
After a few seconds his insults turn into choking and gasping for air. As the rope around his neck tightens.
” Wonder which body part will snap off first.” Lucia whispers to Liam.
” I bet you fifty bucks on his left arm coming off first.” I hear Liam whisper back.
Really? They are making bets behind me. When just a few moments ago. They were both saying how fucked up this whole thing was. I don’t really care for making bets. I just want to watch him get pulled apart for the fun of it.
As the ropes are yanked tighter. He tries to scream but nothing is coming out. I see the discomfort all over his face. As bits of blood starts to come out from the corner his mouth.
Good, he is suffering.
He should have just stayed home and took a desk job. Instead of coming all the way here to die.
Hearing a gun being fired from behind me. I start to turn around to ask who fired their gun. When I hear Liam speak, ” What the fuck dude! Why did you fire you gun?”
Hearing an engine rev up loudly. I watch as one of the vehicles speed up on purpose.
You can hear bones snapping, before more blood starts pouring out of the man’s mouth. A second later blood goes flying through the air as his head pops off. Followed by his right arm, and left leg, before the rest of his limps come apart.
Turning the camera off I hear Liam. ” Damn it.” I hear him says in a irritated tone.
I turn around to see Liam handing Lucia fifty bucks.
” You fired your gun to give the gaurd a signal to speed up.” I say watching Lucia smile at me.
” He made a bet about which body part would come off first. Never said it had to be a fair bet.” Lucia says with a cocky smirk.
I watch Liam roll his eyes, ” You cheated. The whole point of a bet is to not cheat.”
” No, he is right. If you wanted to make a fair bet. You should have made a no cheating rule.” I says turning back around. I take the tape out of the camera, and wrap in to a black cloth.
” How did you know I was going to make a bet anyway? You would have needed to tell the gaurd ahead of time about your signal.” Liam says to him.
” We make bets all the time Liam. I make it a habit to inform at least one guard of my signals.” Lucia says in a cocky tone.
” Still a dirty trick.” Liam tells him.
” You’re just mad because you didn’t think of it first.” Lucia says back with laughter in his voice.
” Alright, enough with the arguing. Liam you lost a bet even if it was done in a sneaky way. Now find a box and gather up all the body parts. We will be shipping him back home.” I want to place this tape with his body for his coworkers, friends, and family members to watch together.
My only regret is that I won’t be able to see the fear and horror go across all there faces.
” You are wanting to put him back on the boat?” Lucia question me.
” Who is going to steer it back to where it came from?” Liam asked.
I smirk, ” I have someone in mind.” Gabe said there were a few new recruits starting trouble at the warehouse all the men are sharing together.
They need to be taught a lesson. While I need to see who side they are on. I am going to have them steer the ship back to where it came from. The cops and feds will be waiting for it too return.
They will get questioned and probably beaten for answers. Whoever rats me out first will die. The rest will safety get free and be brought back here.
Pulling out my phone from my right pocket. I dial Gabe’s number, ” About those men you said were making trouble. Bring them to the docks. I have a test of courage for them to do.”
I call it a test of courage because it does take guts to take a beating, or risk taking jail time for me. If they pass with flying colors, than they will be back in no time. If they fail, it will be death.
After waiting forty-five minutes I watch a SUV pull up. I watch the door open and Gabe get out of the passenger seat. He walks towards the back and opens the door.
I watch four young men step out. Each of them had a black eye and busted lip. As I walk over to them, I noticed their bruised and bloody knuckles.
” Having trouble fitting in?” I question the four of them.
These four young boys all had a hard life growing up. Three of them were living together on the streets. While the fourth one I found at a underground fighting ring. He was being used as a punching bag.
” You four are going to do a test of courage. All you have to do is steer this ship back to where it came from. You will get arrested, interrogated and possibly beaten for information about me. All you have to do is stay loyal to me, and you will be out walking free in just a few hours.” I tell them.
I have some heavy strings I can pull to get them out. Not to mention a few officers on my pay roll. Doesn’t really matter what Jail they get held in. I will be able to get them out, and I will be listening. I have men everywhere.
Which leads be to believe that someone has betrayed me somewhere. Why else would the feds try to arrest me. This goes a lot deeper than a mere drug rad. Only way to know is to set a trap. I will be taking out two birds with one stone.
” Yes, sir.” They all answer.
” Lucia!” I call out.
” Coming!” I hear him yell from somewhere behind me.
Him and Liam were helping the men load all the bodies onto the ship. As for the ring leader of the group we couldn’t find a box, so we shoved of his body parts into a crate. I even shoved the video tape into his mouth, before closing it up.
” Sir?” One of the men ask nervously. ” How are we suppose to steer the ship? I know for a fact that none of us know how to steer.” He say staring at the ground.
” You’re right, none of you have experience steering a ship. Which is why Gabe will steer it. He will jump off the ship thirty minutes, before you dock. You will than steer it the rest of the way.”
Gabe can do just about everything from steering ships, torture, assassination, medicine, and occasionally a repair man for anything that might be broken. It’s like having several men working for you in one body.
Now, let see who has courage.
