MATEO

I ’m supposed to be fine dining Camille tonight. Instead, I’m here, doing the dirty work for my family once again, Carina’s words from earlier plaguing me. How can she believe there’s no God when I see proof of his existence every day? Her parents must have really done a number on her if that’s her belief. It also means the level of neglect goes far beyond what I saw when I was summoned that something was wrong with her. What the hell did they do to her?

Feeling blood pump viciously through my veins, I push back thoughts of her for another time. It wouldn’t do well to get taken by surprise, because then, every person we rival with will believe they’ll be able to get a one off on me. And I can tell you now, that’s never going to happen. I’ll compartmentalize all Carina’s shit, then when the time is right, I’ll allow it to unfurl its wings and fly.

I stare down at the pathetic excuse of a man slumped over in a rickety, old metal chair. His eyes are swollen shut from the number of times his face met my fists, and there’s blood trekking down the side of his head, dripping on the warehouse floor.

I relish in the sound of his labored breathing, knowing this puny man is about to break. If it’s one thing I know, pain makes anyone to talk. It doesn’t matter how much you’re being paid to keep your mouth shut, being worked over by me will have them singing like a fucking canary.

Growling, I kick the leg of the chair and spit on the ground at his feet. All my soldiers assured me this man speaks fluent English, so it should be no trouble for him to understand my intentions. “Who knows?”

It takes everything inside not to let the beast roam free. I want answers, and I wanted them yesterday. It shouldn’t be me doing this goddamn shit, but no one in my familia has been able to get this bastard to talk. Oh, but he will. Even if I have to torment him within an inch of his life, he will. There hasn’t been a person yet who’s been able to withstand my tactics. But, I will say this, the guy in front of me now is the only person who’s lasted this long.

No one wants me to let loose on him, as he’s the only one we’ve been able to capture. If that happens, I’d make sure we’d be feeding his body parts to the fish in East River before sunrise. I’m not patient. I expect to get what I want the second I demand it.

“You will tell me what I want to know, or I will peel the flesh from your fucking bones!”

I watch as his chest rises and falls with labored breathing. I’m so close to saying fuck it and putting a bullet right between his eyes. But my attention comes to rest on Lucio as he leans against the grungy metal siding, seeing him eyeing me up and down.
