Chapter Thirty Two

When Angel came round he was still in terrible pain. The cylinder with the tube had disappeared but he still lay tied on the deck of the boat. He felt very unwell. Some of the pressure in his body had gone, but he was still left with a horrible bloated feeling.

Tariq stood over him. He moved his head closer and spoke quietly near Angel’s left ear. ‘Well Mr. Angel, do you have anything you want to tell me now?’

Angel slowly opened his mouth to reply. ‘There is one thing you should know,’ he murmured, ‘you need to change your mouthwash, either that or you need to stop eating your own shit.’

Tariq raised himself and turned to his crewmen. ‘That’s enough of this. We are wasting our time. Prepare this idiot for the fishing line.’

The crewmen rushed forward enthusiastically and untied Angel from the deck, making sure his two hands were bound together. He was then strung up to a wooden boom near the back of the boat. His hands were tied to the end of the boom and his legs dangled beneath him, so that his feet were a few inches above the deck of the boat.

‘Before we proceed, I want you to make sure that he can’t lift his legs out of the water. Remember what we did to the Egyptian guy we caught stealing from us last year?’

One of the crewmen understood what Tariq was referring to and he rushed off towards the front of the boat. He came back a few seconds later carrying a large hammer, almost the size of a sledgehammer. Tariq took the implement from him and held it by the wooden handle. He rested the other end, made from solid iron, on the deck. He nodded towards Angel and the crewman swung him round so that his back was facing Tariq.

Tariq walked over and stood close to Angel. With his free hand he felt down Angel’s back so that he could establish exactly where the base of his spine was. It wasn’t easy as there was still blood seeping out from the cuts made earlier. Once he was happy that he had found the right spot, he took a pace backwards and swung the heavy hammer so that it crashed into Angel’s backbone. It struck just where it was intended to, and the bone and spinal cord were both crushed by the force of the blow.

Angel shouted out as he felt his spine being smashed to pieces, and a terrible pain ran through his body. Tariq laughed as he threw down the hammer and ordered his men to carry on.

The boom that Angel was hanging from was now swung out over the back of the boat and then lowered until all of Angel’s legs were beneath the water.

Tariq looked over the back of the boat and explained to Angel what was about to happen.

‘It’s very important that you keep your legs in the water at all times, and that is where the hammer blow comes in.
