Chapter Thirteen

Venom

“Did you kill him already?” King asks when he walks back into the half-finished building.

“No. Just gave him enough of the heroine to knock him out cold.”

“I still think you should have just stabbed him with both the needles,” Miles complains.

“Good,” he responds. “Ghost told me some of the things this man did to those women and men. Did he do anything to hurt you while you were there?”

King’s voice is as calm and smooth as ever, but his eyes darken with rage. No one fucks with this man’s family.

“No,” I admit. “He just ran some tests when I first arrived. I had assumed he was another prisoner because of the look in his eyes.”

“He may very well have been,” King says, lifting the doctor over his shoulder as if he weighed nothing. “He may have been forced to do what he did. But it doesn’t change the fact that he did those things.”

I follow King back outside into the night and wait for him to secure the doctor in the back of the truck. For good measure, he ties his hands behind his back with a rope he found before yanking it down and securing his legs together.

“Tied like the fucking pig he is,” King mutters before tossing a tarp over his body. “Let’s get your girl home so we can get this bastard to the chamber before the sun rises.”

The chamber is something we have always had but haven’t had to utilize in quite some time. My fists clench in excitement at what’s to come.

“Let’s see if we can get Knox to dig into the police and hospital reports to see everything this man done to those people so we don’t have to get your girl to answer any hard questions,” King suggests.

Nodding, I jump into the passenger side of the truck and turn to look at the woman in question. Her eyes, void of emotion, look so tired.

Almost defeated.

“You don’t have to say anything,” I tell her. “I’m going to take you home and get you into bed. You need a good night’s sleep. Tomorrow morning, we’ll talk.”

“Am I going to jail?” she asks.

“No baby,” I smile.

“Is he going to jail?”

“Where he can get three free meals a day, free housing, and a chance to live the rest of his days safely behind bars?” King asks sarcastically as he starts the truck. “No. Prison will look like fucking paradise compared to the future we have planned for him.”

“You won’t ever have to worry about him again,” I tell her. “Now, it’s going to take a little while to make it back to town. Why don’t you try and get some shut-eye?”

She glances from me to King before pulling the blanket tighter around her.

“You’re safe, babygirl,” I tell her. “Nothing can harm you with my brother here.”

“You mean to tell me that you wouldn’t be able to protect me?” she asks. If I wasn’t paying close attention to her face I would have completely missed the small smirk before it quickly vanishes.
