Taking You Down With Me

Mason Carter

“Sophie?” My mother's disgusted voice hisses in my ear. I hadn't noticed her presence. I look at her briefly before deciding it wouldn't be best to approach her now. Agents are everywhere. I don't want to risk drawing attention to her. If our family isn't on their radar, there is no need to put ourselves there.

I shift my gaze back to the two FBI agents holding Arthur. They’ve stopped moving now, and there is a new man standing in the midst of everything. I assume he is their superior. He's a tall man holding a shield with a stern expression. He must’ve given them orders to stop.

My eyes are glued to him as he analyzes the situation carefully. It looks as if he’s weighing his options, gauging the potential risks and rewards of his next move. Ultimately, he decides to proceed with caution and makes sure the two men never release Arthur from their grip.

“Where is your proof?” He addresses Arthur. The FBI agent's tone made it clear that he was willing to give Arthur an opportunity to explain himself, but the underlying skepticism did not go unnoticed.

Arthur either isn’t aware or is just too happy for the opportunity to speak. “It's in my cell phone. My pocket.”

The tall man hesitates for a moment before giving a subtle nod to the agents, who cautiously retrieve the device from Arthur's pocket.

“The code?” the superior asks after the agent holds up the locked phone screen.

“97043. It's the last video in my gallery.”

As they access the evidence on the phone, the tension rises, and I feel sweat begin to form on my skin. I involuntarily lean in closer to hear.

Seconds later, a video begins playing loudly. The sound coming from the phone makes my stomach feel like it's being shredded by a hundred knives. Violet's voice is clear as she begs for forgiveness. I can hear a hard object hitting her and her screaming. The person continues mercilessly for a while, being egged on by another voice. This one I can clearly distinguish as Damien's.

“Hit her again, Sophie!” he commands.

This goes on for several seconds before Sophie's voice echoes in a scream.

“Damien! She's not moving. I think I killed her!”

“Don't worry about it. I'll hide the body. Uncle probably won't even care.”

I'm not sure if the video stops playing there, but the sound is drowned out by me emptying what little contents are in my stomach. My legs suddenly feel too weak to support me. I fall to the floor, kneeling, and Lydia places an arm around me. My mother's own screams are stifled by a hand over her mouth. I want to go over and console her, but I can't muster the strength to get up from the ground.

“Hey, Damien's dead,” Lydia says, trying to make me feel better about everything. It doesn't help much.

“They beat her to death. Imagine how she suffered.” I gag again.

“We'll get justice.” Lydia says.

“Where is Sophie?” The superior asks Arthur in a neutral tone.
