SEVENTY-TWO

SOMEWHERE ON THE AT

Ten years faded in a flash, memories bombarding Odessa as she slipped down the steps to the room where she’d watched the initiations.

The cameras still hung on the wall, and a camera stood on a tripod in the center of the room, once used to film the depraved acts. The walls were soundproofed to camouflage the sound of the victims’ screams.

Ropes, chains and harnesses attached to the ceilings occupied another section. A drab tiny room to the right had been used to isolate the target for hours or days at a time to incite fear.

She wondered how many times the brothers had met here during the last decade. How many victims they’d taken.

The police had now found Amy Dean. How many were there that they knew nothing about?

Suddenly the sound of a scream jarred her eyes open. At first, she thought it was just her memory coming alive. Then another shrill cry pierced the air.

“Please let us go!” a woman’s voice begged.

“Don’t hurt us,” a second voice pleaded. “We’ll do whatever you want.”

“I have kids. They need me,” came the first voice again, this time weak and shaky.

A gruff, menacing laugh echoed through the chamber. She peeked through the glass and saw both women on the floor on their hands and knees.

Odessa ducked low in the shadows as a man in all black shoved each of them forward. Then he used the rope attached to the ceiling to tie their arms above their heads.

“Please, stop,” one of the women pleaded.

“Why are you doing this?” the other cried.

Another laugh, then he took a scalpel from the metal table in the corner. The cold metal glinted in the dark as he waved it in front of their faces.
