“He probably won’t make it out of the basement alive.”
I hug Lily.
“Are you okay with that?” I ask her.
“Yes. He told me that he created Carter James so that he could make money off me. And he said that I wrote something that was from his life. I still don’t know what he meant.”
“I’ll see if he’ll tell me.” I say as I kiss her.
I leave her with the other women and head downstairs. I find Eros and Ares scratching their arms.
“Rash?” I say as I point at them.
“Yep. Micro penis gave us a rash. Dirty fucker.” Ares frowns.
“Well I’m glad I didn’t touch him.” I chuckle.
I walk into the room that they have the guy that was working with Carson.
“His name is Carl and he says Carson paid him to help. And told him that he would have his turn with Lily after Carson was done with her. But then when they took Giovanna too, he told him he could have her. But when he took her into another room, she told him who she was and who I was. That made him back off.” Enea tells me as we look at Carl.
“Please. I didn’t touch either of them. I swear I won’t tell anyone and you’ll never see me again.” Carl says as he sits there and cries. From the looks of him, he’s been crying for a while.
We step back outside of the room.
“We’re going to let him go tomorrow. We just wanted to let you talk to him if you wanted to.”
“No. It doesn’t seem like he knows anything.” I say to Enea.
“I doubt he does and we’ll make sure he never talks or there will be consequences.”
“And Carson?”
“Oh he’s another story. That’s up to you.”
I nod and go into the next room. There’s plastic on the floor and Carson’s sitting in the middle of the room.
“Oh look it’s the dumb fuck who thinks Lily wants him. You realize she’s never gotten over me, right? She asked me to tie her up. I have to say I’m pissed that you interrupted us.”
I laugh at Carson.
“There’s only one thing I want to know. Why did you come after Lily now? Two years. You could’ve just stayed away and you wouldn’t be in this situation.”
“I’m not in any situation. Once you all figure out who I am, you’ll let me go.”
Enea laughs.
“Okay, I’ll humor you. Who the fuck are you?”
“I’m the sicario for the Márquez family.” Carson smiles proudly.
Enea leaves the room and comes back fifteen minutes later.
“Well I just talked to Augusto Márquez. And after explaining what you did to Tristan’s woman? He said we can do what we want with you.”
I finally see some fear flash across his face.
“H-he’d never say that.”
