Before Leon could even reply, sounds came from the door again.
John’s men were carrying in the few guys who had survived the battle.
Giovano was one of them.He stared at his man on the X and swore in Italian, “Minchia...You bloody fool, you weren’t supposed to get caught.Accidenti!”
Shubert sneered.“Yeah, I know, those men you hired were useless and stupid.”
Leon snapped his gaze over and said, “So, if I lived, you were supposed to hide, kidnap my kids and kill me when I came back in.”
Shubert shrugged.“Yeah sure, let’s go with that.Originally, the real plan was for me to find a place to hunker down and then kill you while you slept.Then I was supposed to kill everyone in this house.That’s what my original mission in this was.”
Leon walked over to him.Clenching his fingers into a fist, he punched the man.His head flew back hitting the wood of the X table as he was knocked unconscious.
Leon turned to Balard and John, then he nodded at Giovano.“Dump him into a cell and then come back for this one.Chain them both to the wall with those steel collars.I don’t want them to have any chance to get free before I’m able to deal with them.And don’t be gentle with either of them.They better get ready for the same thing Henry got.”He growled.
Myron nodded and glared at Giovano.“He got skinned, see his back?”
Giovano looked a bit green as he shuddered.
“Man, you had to know this wouldn’t turn out good for you, right?”Storm asked Giovano.
“And what are you?Just a servant for Leon, right?”Giovano insulted him.
Leon growled and stepped up, pulling his arm back, he popped Giovano in the mouth.
Giovano slumped in Iceman’s grip.
Leon looked outraged.“You and your friend there need to get ready for your one-way trip to hell.”
Storm smirked at theone-way tripline then he just stared at the two men being loaded into the cells.He watched as both men were fitted into a collar of heavy metal.
Finally, Henry was taken down from the wooden X and put into the cell cot.Then they locked the door behind him.
Storm turned to the other two men, Julius and Myron.He looked at Leon and asked, “And these two?What are you going to do with them?”
“They can be locked up in a cell across the way there.”He gave John a nod.“Make sure they get fed.Looks like they are on the road to decency.There might be hope for them yet?”He then slowly looked over at all the others in the cells, steel collared and on the X.“And I’m glad for it as decency is a rare quality these days.”
