Chapter 16
They won’t find her, I know he made sure of it. He thinks his secret is safe, but I heard him on the phone. I knew he was keeping something from us, but he should have known I would figure it all out. When Vito called me to tell me about the conversation with Atti, I made sure to tell him to stall. Vito doesn’t know where she is or how to find anyone. He goes through the Hacker, but no one knows what he looks like. My phone vibrates on the table, picking it up I see I have a text from Little Light.
Little Light: Are you there?
Me: Yes.
Little Light: I’m scared. I don’t know how much more I can take.
Me: Just a little longer. I promise you, I’m coming.
Little Light: Why would you come for me? I’m nobody.
Me: You”re more important than you know.
Little Light: Why are you helping me, honestly? You don’t even know me.
Me: I know you more than you think, Little Light.
Little Light: The boys said they would be back and have a surprise for me.
Me: I’ll be there soon.
Little Light: I wish I could believe you.
Me: I will never lie to you, Little Light.
Little Light: I have to go.
Letting out a growl, sitting my phone down on the table. I look up, locking eyes with Stone.
“Everything good?” Cade looks at me with suspicion in his eyes.
“Yeah, I got a lead. Stone, wanna roll?” Looking at Stone, standing up and walking toward the door.
“Keep us posted on what you find out.” Atticus says as we walk out the door.
Climbing into the car, starting it up, and heading out of the driveway.
“What aren’t you telling me, man? I know when something is up. Who texted you?” Looking over at me with a pissed off look. I don’t say anything, and continue to drive.
“Who was it?” He asks again, getting more pissed by the second.
“I told you I had a lead. That’s where we’re going.” I respond, keeping my tone neutral.
I’m headed to that piece of shit Carl. He will fucking pay for touching what isn’t his. I have big plans for his rapist ass. Let’s see how he likes to be fucked.
“Listen, man. I gotta tell you some shit, but I need you to be level-headed so we can handle this shit.” Turning to look him in the eye, “I mean it, Stone.”
“What the fuck is going on?” he asks through gritted teeth..
“It’s about her. She’s been,” before I can get the rest of the words out, Stone has his hand wrapped around my throat.
The car swerves and I have to push on the brakes, slamming the car into park. It stops with a squeal and a jolt.
He squeezes tighter, “What about her?” his eyes are murderous,
I tap at his arm, “You better start talking, or so help me.” He releases my throat. Taking in lungfuls of air. I rub at my throat and look over at him.
“It wasn’t me, man. When I found out where she was I snuck her in a phone and kept an eye on her. I only stepped away when I got the call for family dinner.” Looking over at him.
“Where is she? We have to go get her, now. Cade is going to fucking kill you for keeping this to yourself.” He says, shaking his head.
“Fuck. I wasn’t sure who to trust, man.” I lay my head back against the seat and sigh.
“What do you mean? From us? The fuck man, you know we don’t keep secrets. Where is all this coming from?” He says, with a raised brow.
“She got hurt, man. She was raped.” He punches me in the face once, twice, three times. I feel the flow of blood down my nose.
“If you don’t start talking, I swear to god I’ll make sure you are drinking from a straw for the rest of your cocksucking life.” He says, pissed off.
“I snatched the foster dad, let’s go ask him.” I say, popping my nose back in place. “You broke my nose, man.”
“You”re lucky that’s all I did. Now drive and fill me in before I call the others.” He says, pulling out his phone.
Walking into the house with Stone right behind me, I walk into the kitchen. I have Carl tied with his hands behind his back and bent over the table. I walk over, slapping him in the face, causing him to stir.
“Wakey, wakey, asshole.”
“Let me fucking go, you piece of shit.” He screams, and I let out a chuckle.
“Who’s this?” Stone asks.
“This is the fucker who likes to touch what isn’t his.” I respond, punching him in the lower back. Let his kidneys hurt.
“What are you talking about? I didn’t touch shit of yours. Let me fucking go!” He yells.
“You”re wrong, you did touch what is ours. Tell us about the girl at your house.” Stone says, with fists balled at his sides.
“The girl? Oh, that sweet little piece of ass. She was a good fuck. I fucked her ass so good while my boys took turns. She’s used goods now.” He laughs.
Stone walks over and punches him in the face, throwing him on the floor, climbing on top of him, landing hit after hit. I grab his shoulder, halting his fist mid air.
“I have a better plan for him.” I say, with a sinister smile. Stone nods, getting up from the ground.
“Get him back up and bent over the table. Pants down, I’ll be right back.” Spinning, walking back towards the front of the house. Opening up the closet, looking around until I spot what I’m looking for. Bingo. I grab it and pull it back into the kitchen. Stone takes one look at it, and his face pales for a split second until a huge smile spreads across his face.
“You’re a sick fuck.” He chuckles. “I like the way you think.”
“This is just step one. I want to try this new experiment I read about the other day.” Walking out and in front of Carl. He looks up, and he turns as white as a ghost. Stone full on belly laughs.
“Don’t be scared now. This is what you like to do, right. Fuck little girls?”
“No. Please. I won’t do it again. I’m sorry. It was the first time.” He starts sobbing.
“I know all about you, Carl Thompsan. This isn’t the first time, so don’t try to lie to us.” I kick his legs apart.
“Please don’t do this. I swear, I’ll never do it again.” He cries more.
“Now what was it you said again?.” I put my finger on my chin, like I’m deep in thought. “That’s right. Chin up, Buttercup.”
“How. How did you. Did you know?” He stumbles out.
Laughing, I pull out the hose until I have enough length.
“This is going to hurt. No pre-game for you.” Stone chuckles.
I ram the head of the electric snake into his ass, flipping on the switch as it comes to life. Blood squirts out of his ass as he screams until he passes out.
“Fuck, man. That’s brutal. Let’s call the others and go get our girl.” He says.
“Alright, let’s finish this shit first.” Walking over into the bathroom, turning the water on. Filling the tub up.
“Stone! Grab the stuff out of the trunk and bring it in.” I yell out. After a few minutes he walks in with two wood boards, and a white jug in hand.
“What experiment are you doing, man?” He asks, as I open the duffle bag, pulling out the container.
He takes one look and whistles. I get everything ready, dragging Carl in, tying his feet together, picking him up, placing him over the two by four. Snapping a capsule, placing it under his nose, causing him to stir awake. He groans, moving around.
“Careful, you wouldn’t want to fall in there.” Stone says, laughing.
“Please. Stop.” He cries again.
“Here’s the deal. If you can make it out of here, you live.” I smile.
“What’s the catch?” He asks.
“The tub has a new skin routine. If you fall in, well. You will see.”
Nodding towards Stone, we head out of the bathroom. Just as we round the corner, we hear a splash and Carl’s screams. Laughing as we walk out of the house. Pulling out my phone, I dial Cade.
“You got an update?” He asks.
“Yeah, man. We found her. Meet us at 78 Peachtree Lane.” I say, hanging up, climbing into the car. Turning toward Stone, “Let’s go get our girl.”
