Dining with the Devils

There was yet another rape in the apartment two days later. It wasn’t quite so brutal as the earlier assault, the girl was much younger and she yielded far easier as she froze in fear and allowed Rexha to do as he wished. She resisted at first but almost from the outset she could see that the odds were stacked against her with three more guards on standby as well as Kupi who all looked on. For a reason I couldn’t understand, I was made to watch again but spent most of the time studying the evil reactions of Lule who oversaw proceedings with a real venomous pleasure and at one point even helped Rexha remove the girls skirt. I remember the girl looking at her in disbelief. It was as if she could somehow comprehend the animalistic behaviour of the fat man abusing her but not from the gentler sex. The girl lay on her back like a piece of cold meat while Rexha stripped off and climbed onto her. It was almost as if she’d resigned herself to her fate and although I could see in her face that she was terrified I admired her composure to a certain extent, it was almost as if she was saying let’s get this over with.

Mercifully for the girl, Rexha didn’t last long and he soon climbed off her. They threw her clothes at her and one of the guards bundled her towards the front door aggressively. There was a little commotion and some shouting at the door and I was aware of at least two or three blows and a squeal and some sobbing but the guard was back within a minute or two and I breathed a sigh of relief that her punishment had obviously been concluded and that she’d survived the experience. Even from the outset, from my first encounter with them I sensed that these men were more than capable of killing and that life was cheap to them.

Kupi stood and buttoned up his jacket.

“Okay you,” he said looking at me, “get your coat we’re going out.”

This time I sat in the back of the car with two guards either side of me. Kupi sat in the passenger seat alongside the driver and I could see he was a little agitated, deep in thought while we once again drove beyond the city limits. I tried to take my bearings and carefully studied the road signs just in the off chance I somehow managed to get away. We headed to the west but didn’t drive too far before Kupi turned round and announced it was lunchtime and that he was so hungry he could eat a bear.

The restaurant had been well chosen once again, well off the beaten track and somewhat more salubrious than the pizza restaurant. The waiters wore black bow ties and jackets and once again, to my dismay, everyone seemed to know Kupi and his gang. There was an overpowering stench of fish, really strong fish and it began to turn my stomach it was so bad.
