Chapter 23 – Arkady

I waited outside the door like the good little foot soldier I was pretending to be. My higher rank meant nothing to these men. Not now. Not after what had happened.

So I stood there, gaze on the opposite wall. I could hear her talking. Probably on the phone I’d managed to smuggle in for her. She needed someone to come get her out of this before shit went sideways.

When the men started coming down the hall, it was too late to signal her. But at least the door would be harder to open, giving her extra seconds. Barrikad, Ustin, Kostas, Dusan, and Gavrie all stomped down the hall. The second generation of Kuznetsov men. Each more insane and brutal than the last. I prayed they were here just to talk.

Barrikad waved me away from the door. Motioned for one of his brothers to open it. The asshole couldn’t even be bothered to open his own door. He was insufferable.

Standing as I was across the hall, I saw Talia sitting on the new mattress I’d given her. More prayers ran through my mind. I didn’t think I could stand by and do nothing if they raped her again.

If they just roughed her up, that was one thing. But another gang rape? Internally, I shook my head. Readied myself to step in if necessary. It would blow seven years of work, but I was willing to risk it.

“Little dove, you stand,” Barrikad said. He purposely deepened his Russian accented English. He could speak with an American accent if he wanted. He simply chose not to for her.

Talia lifted her chin, got to her feet. I saw the fabric of her pants trembling as she faced them. Other than that, there was no indication that she was even troubled by their presence.

She was amazing. Strong. Brave. Courageous. Everything about her spoke to me. Called me to her in a siren’s song I was desperately trying to ignore.

Talia remained silent. Something of a miracle, that. She was definitely smart enough not to call their ire down on her head.

Barrikad nodded. “Good. Tell me what you know of my uncles.”

Talia shook her head. “I don’t know your uncles, I’m sorry.”

Barrikad nodded again. Stepped back. He waved two of his brothers forward.

Ustin and Dusan stepped forward. Similar enough in appearance to look like twins, but more than ten years separated their ages. Brown hair, bright blue eyes, and a hard cast to their bodies and faces, they looked like angry gods here for vengeance.

Ustin grabbed Talia’s right arm as Dusan secured her left. They stretched her between them as if she were on a rack.

Barrikad nodded again.

Gavrie stepped forward. As tall as his brothers, but a wirier build, his dirty blonde hair was pulled back with a tie at the nape of his neck. A true sadist. He smiled as he bowed to her. The false sign of respect grated on my already taut nerves. The asshole was just playing with her.

Gavrie straightened. The smile still on his face, he pulled his fist back and slammed it into her belly.
