I walked through the halls with my hoodie on and my hands in my pocket, not so aware of myself, as if someone else were taking my steps to the cell where Adler’s slave had been kept three floors below my office. There was a crowd at the cell’s open door—Lord Barrington, Adler, Delrisso, and Calvin. I rolled my eyes. This was not the drama I fucking needed.
“Gentlemen.” I nodded at them and was about to walk in when he came out and blocked me. He was shorter than me, so I had to look down at him.
“What are you going to do to stop this? Huh? How long are you going to allow this? He got my girl now! My. Fucking. Girl!” Lord Adler yelled.
“She was doing so good too,” Lord Calvin said from Adler’s left.
“You need to get this place under control, Sir,” Lord Barrington said.
I smiled and nodded once. They were trying to piss me off and were close to succeeding, but I was too distracted, thinking ofher. “I’m sorry, are you all going to allow me inside so that I can see the body, or are you going to stand here crying over a fucking slave?” They glared at me, opening the path for me to enter.
I sighed as soon as I saw her. He’d dressed her up in a Harlequinn costume with black diamonds covering the body suit and hung her from a noose. Her brown hair was in two pigtails, one of her legs was hanging from the ceiling and the other was flat. He’d let her choke to death. He’d taken out her eyeballs. The blood had already dried on her cheeks. So, this had been done many hours before. All the victims were hung the same but in different costumes. The last victim had blood coming out of her ears. So basically, see no evil, hear no evil crap.I don’t have time for this.
“What time did you get here?”
“Six. I was going to test her today so that she could finally go outside.”
I called Manolo.
“Yes, sir,” he answered.
“Have the medics come get the body. I want an autopsy. Have Dr. Avery do it.”
“Dr. Avery doesn’t get here until tomorrow.”
“Then I want a guard with the body until he arrives.”
“Of course, Sir.”
I hung up and turned her body around. Her pants were ripped and his cum had spilled out of her, staining them. Of course, I could have had everyone’s DNA tested, but last time I’d tried that, no one matched.Motherfucker.
“Adler, come with me,” I commanded, heading out, and the medics rolled in the bed. Without a word, he followed me ’til the end of the hall where I pressed the button to the elevator. We stared at each other. His eyes were swollen and red. “When was the last time you were in there? And don’t fucking lie to me because I do not have the time.”
“Last night...”
“Who else was there?”
“Calvin, Barrington, Black, Thomas, and Lansbury.”
“Lansbury? He was in there? What—What were you all doing?”
“We just partied. But she was fine. She did a great job. That’s why I was planning to test her today. I left her resting on her bed.”
“Whose idea was the party?” I asked.
“I’m her trainer!”
“Yeah, you were! What the fuck, Adler? I thought you were fucking better than this?”
“We were just de-stressing.”
I stopped the elevator, grabbed him by the collar, and lifted him, slamming his back against the wall. “De-stressing about what, Adler? Your only responsibility is to fuck a girl every day and show her how to survive men like us? That’s what’s stressing you out? Or is it the near one million dollars you’re earning for teaching a girl how to fuck? Or is it that you miss Master and all his buddies fucking your every hole on that table? What the fuck?”
“You may not like this,Sir, but there are men who like to share their girls. And a girl has to learn.”
I let him fall, then grabbed his head and banged it against the wall before I pressed the button again. “So, you were all there for the other dead girls as well.”
He moaned while sitting on the floor disoriented. “Answer meeeeee!” I screamed.
