Chapter 6
Don’t get me wrong. I know what I’m up against. I know that I’m facing losing everything. I saw what they did to Roz. A bullet through the head. That’s something they could do to me. I wonder how it will be when they kill me. My mind races with possibilities. Maybe someone will slip into my room when I’m asleep and do it with a silencer. Maybe then I won’t notice. I won’t have to feel any fear. I won’t have any idea that I’m about to die. That might be easier. But then I won’t have those final moments: moments to say goodbye to everything I ever knew or was. I won’t have a chance to say goodbye.
Or maybe they’ll kidnap me first, like they did with my father. Drag me down to some undisclosed location and torture me first: try to get information out of me, like how did I know about the Blue Room in the first place, how well did I know my clients’ secrets? Maybe they’ll interrogate me for hours or even days. I don’t know. I wouldn’t know. Maybe they’ll do all that only to kill me in the end: dump me in some ditch somewhere.
Is that what they’re planning to do to my father?
I can’t even bear to think about it. The thought brings tears to my eyes.
Maybe they’ll give me a warning first: if that’s what happened to Rita. A “warning.” Getting beaten to within an inch of your life. Getting your face smashed in so that nobody will ever recognize you again. That’s just one of so many punishments the Blue Room can dole out. One of so many ways they can hurt you.
If there’s one thing I’ve learned about the Blue Room, it’s that it can never run out of ways to hurt you.
But it’s all worth it, I tell myself. Death. Torture. Beating. I can face all of these things if it means that I’m going out fighting against this corrupt institution, this set of two corrupt families, that has plagued my life since the day of my conception, and every day since. I am happy to die if it means that I can finally live with myself.
But it’s going to be tricky. First things first, I’m going to have to convince Xander that I’m still reliable, that I didn’t see anything on his phone. I’m going to have to act like nothing has changed to get information out of him. As long as he still trusts me, still thinks I’m stupid and naïve enough to trust him, still thinks I’m not a threat, I’m safe. Xander might keep me alive long enough for his own pleasure. And I can use our interactions now: become the savage ruthless whore I’ve always been afraid of becoming. Mining him for information, not money, but the transaction is the same. I have to act like he’s not talking to Terrence behind my back. I have to act like the beautiful Blues Girl he told me once he was falling for.
