My heart was racing as we climbed the steps back up to where the self-proclaimed king was. I didn’t know what I was doing. The man made my skin crawl every time he looked at me. I considered myself to be a pretty good judge of character though, and the guard escorting me didn’t seem to fit in the with rest of them. He didn’t want to be there, I could almost sense his apprehension. His concern for my safety showed that he was different.

The room was empty as we waited, and I knew I needed to try and get to the case near the ‘throne’ where Vega had been. I casually strolled closer, but the guard shook his head and I sat down on the second of five steps leading to the seat. With a dramatic sigh, I leaned backward and looked at the guard again. He was watching me.

“What’s your name?” I asked him.

He ignored me at first but I kept watching him until he caved. “Davidson.”

“Davidson?” I asked. “Do you have a first name?”

“Anthony, and we shouldn’t be talking. I’m just here to make sure that you don’t run. Vega will be right back, he went to check the assets.”

I snorted, “The assets? You mean the brothers of my friends down there? You know he’s going to torture them, don’t you?”

He winced at my words and turned away. I took the opening and moved up another step. Just one more and I would be able to lift open the case to see what was in it. It was obviously a medical case, not something that someone would just keep lying around unless it had a very good purpose. Anthony turned back to look at me and noticed I’d moved again but said nothing at first.

“Why are you here if you don’t want to be?” I pressed.

“That’s none of your business. Stop moving or I’m going to take you back down there.”

“Your boss wouldn’t be too happy with you then, would he?” I asked. “Come on. We are both stuck here so we might as well talk.”

“I can leave anytime I want.”

“Then, why don’t you? Do you have some sort of sick fetish to watch people get tortured? Is that what gets you off?”

He was about to say something when the large double-doors opened and Vega walked in, his breathing labored under the heavy weight of his obese figure. When his eyes landed on me and saw my proximity to the case, he glared at Anthony. I quickly stood up and moved away from it, cursing my luck under my breath. This wasn’t going to be as easy as I thought.

“So, you wanted more of me, sweet thing?” he huffed, dropping into the chair and making the wooden platform groan under his massive weight.

“Um, no,” I shot back. “I know when I am defeated though. I want to strike a deal.”

He laughed at me, “What kind of deal, you’ve got nothing.”

“I’ve got myself. Don’t think I didn’t see how you watched me.
