Norie grins.“I guess you mean if you don’t have candles you’d get them for me if I want to drip some candle wax into his eyes?”
“Fuck, Prez, your woman has great suggestions.I’m gonna get some candles.”Remus moves past us to leave the basement.
Heart is laughing, like I am, but Swade and Sevrin are both shaking their heads.I do notice their smiles, though.They might not have approved of her joining in this part of our business, but they now realize and see how well she fits in.
I walk to the bag and snag a piece of steel wire.Circling his wrist, I tighten the wire to make it sink into the fucker’s skin.It’s always a nice way to inflict pain without blood leaking out.His hand will eventually go numb due to cutting off the blood supply, but I’ll remove the wire before that happens.
Ripping off the duct tape covering his mouth, I ask, “Any famous last words?’Cause I’m going to cut off your tongue, so you won’t be able to scream.Well, you would be able to make some noise, just no words.”
“You think you’ve won, Fatal?Think again.There are others still in your MC who will take you down, motherfucker.Killing me won’t take the threat away.”Norris tries to spit but I place the duct tape back.
I know it’s the fear of a dead man rambling, but his words still sting and bring doubt.
Heart rotates a knife in his hand.“Want me to cut out his lying tongue?”
“Got some,” Remus cheerfully states as he comes back with a candle in each hand.“Who wants to go first?”
“Me.Can you hold his eye open for me?Do you have a lighter?”Norie rattles.
“Is it me or does my kid sound too damn cheerful?”Swade grumbles.
The sting of Norris’s words fades when I feel myself smiling again.This is what we all needed, and who knew the bonding time would come during a torture session?Yet, it makes sense with Norris being the final part of the mess Melon pulled us in.
“I have a staple gun in my bag, it might work better than manually keeping his eyes open,” Heart remarks.
Norie and Remus nod in approval.Heart grabs the staple gun and pinches Norris’s eyelid between his fingers and places it against the fucker’s eyebrow before ramming a few staples in there.
Sidestepping to make sure Norris sees me, I remark, “See how well everyone works together?It doesn’t matter if a brotherhood has a rotten apple, because the good ones will eliminate them before they can infect others.Exactly the way we handled it when you thought to sneak your way into our territory by trying a backdoor to our guns.Obviously, you fucked with the wrong people.”
Norris’s muffled screams are satisfying.I take a few steps back and enjoy watching Norie light a candle while Heart and Remus are grinning as she waits for the wax to heat up enough to drip some into the fucker’s eyes.
Everything is out in the open, no more lies, no more threats, and if new ones form?We’ll handle it together.Through the link with Sevrin’s chapter our brotherhood has doubled, along with our income.The contracts drawn up by our lawyers give us a nice share of the Lexmore Beach chapter brewery.Good things await in our future.
Sevrin stalks past me and digs through Remus’s bag until he pulls out a blow torch.“A day isn’t perfect until you smell the burning flesh of your enemies early in the morning.”
Yeah, a family link or not?That fucker stays weird as shit for sure.
