Chapter 33

❖Gabriel❖

"Has he talked yet?" I ask Rover as I pass him.
We've been holding Hunter for two days now, trying to get any kind of information out of him, but up until now, nothing has come out of him that we could use.
"I'm sorry Gabe, he keeps refusing to talk."
"Then I think it's time for some toys."
River smirks, "Raphael is going to be so mad that he wasn't here ones he hears about it."
"He is with Christy." I answer him. "She took Anna's taking pretty bad. Raphael is trying to make her feel a little better."
"We'll get her back soon Gabe."

I hum, getting angry at the thought if Anna still not being by my side.
"Clock is ticking." I say. "Let's go to Hunter. It's time for him to start talking."
River nods and we make our way to the cellars.

The twins are already there, practising their boxing moves on Hunters body.
"Boys." I greet them.
"Hello big brother!" They answer at the same time.
"We tried to make him speak." Aro says. "But it's like he lost his tongue." Joel finishes.
"It's fine boys. I'm taking over from here."
They look at me with a wicked grin, already understanding the plan I have in mind.
"It's time to use our toys."

Hunter's eyes widen slightly as he hears what we plan on doing. He quickly tries to mask his reaction, but he's to late. I already saw it and I know that we will get some answers today.

"Give me the cutter." I say to River.
The twins take a stand next to Hunter. Aro on his left side and Joel at his right. Before Hunter can even think of moving out of the way, they both already have a hand laying on his shoulder, making sure that Hunter has nowhere to go.
I nod at them approvingly, I taught them well.
Taking over the cutter from River, I focus all my attention on Hunter.

"We are going to play a little game today. It goes like this: I will be the quiz master, asking you questions which you, the candidate of this game, will have to answer. If you answer the question correctly, or good enough, nothing will happen and we will move on to the next question.
However, if you answer incorrectly, or not at all, you will loose a finger. So, that means that you have 10 changes to give me the answer that I want to hear. If that isn't enough, we could always move on with your toes, or something else that sticks out of your body.
Am I clear?"

I wait a minute before taking my place in front of Hunter. "Let the games begin."
Aro holds up Hunter's left hand and I put the cutter on his pinky finger, applying enough pressure for him to feel the blade, but not enough to make him bleed yet.
"Let's start with an easy question." I say. "Who are you working for?"
Hunter looks at me with a snarl on his face, but he doesn't answer. Without hesitation I push the cutter down and Hunter looses his left pinky finger in one simple cut.
He screams so loud that I'm sure everyone else in this warehouse can hear him.

"I'll ask again." I say as I place the cutter on the next finger; his legt ring finger. "You have nine changes left to answer correctly. Who are you working for?"
"You already know that!" Hunter bites at me and I push a little more on the cutter, making a small cut in the skin of his finger.
"That isn't an answer to my question, is it now? Who are you working for?"
"I work for Samuel Zraa." He finally says and I push the cutter down, making Hunter scream out in pain again as he looses another finger.
"Fucker!" He screams at me. "I gave you the fucking answer!"
"I know. This was for going against my familia."

Putting the cutter on his middle finger I continue my questioning. "Why did you do it?"
"Simple." He says, somehow he manages to get a small smirk on his lops, or ar least, he's trying. "They were offering me more money then you were."
"You're a money whore. Wish we knew that before. Would have saved us this mess."

I stand up and hand the cutter to River, whom automatically takes my spot over, in front of Hunter.
"Let's skip the small talk and go in with the small talk and go on with the important stuff. Where is Anna?"
Hunter looks up at me, keeping his mouth shut and within the blink of an eye, he looses his third finger.

"We will try again. Where is Anna?"
He ones again refuses to answer and I nod to River, who moves the cutter ones more, but this time Hunter looses two fingers at ones.
"Your first hand is empty. If I where you I would start taking before you have to learn how to eat with your feet."

"You're going to kill me anyways Gabriel." Hunter spits out. "Why would I want to help you het that little slut back?"
Before I'm able to react, the twins have him on the ground locked tightly in a death grip.
"You do not talk about our queen like that!" Aro boulders. "If you want to stay alive even a little longer you will show some more respect!" Joel continues.
A sense of pride wells up inside of me as I see my younger siblings like this, fighting for Anna, for her respect.
It shows that I made the right choice.

"Put him back on the chair." I order, leaving no room to argue. "We will continue with the next hand."
I wait for River to get back in position before I continue with my questioning. "Where is Anna?"
He looks at me, not giving any sign of answering, so I nod to River. He moves the cutter closer to Hunters right pink as Hunter suddenly speaks up.
"I don't know where she is! They never told me!"

River looks up at me, waiting for an order, but I shake my head. He's finally talking, now we need to push on.
"What do you know then?" I say.
"Nothing. I only knew that I had to distract you and get you away from Anna, so they could get close to her and take her. But that was all they told me."
"Not good enough." I grunt and Hunter looses another finger.
"You sick bastard!" He screams. "I really don't know a thing other than what I told you!"

A low growl erupts from my chest and I kick the table, with our torture materials on it, over in frustration.
"Make sure he doesn't bleed out and clean this fucking mess!" I order as I make my way to the door.
"Where are you going?" River calls after me.
"I'm for a walk in the woods. I need some air."

❖Anna❖

I dry off the knife and pretend to put it back in the drawer, but instead I quickly hide it under need my shirt. Holding my breath, I glance around the kitchen, hoping that no one has seen me.
Tonight will be the night that I break out.
I overheard Samuel and one of his bodyguards talking that most of the guys, including them, will be out of the house tonight for some important drug deal. It would be just my dad and a couple of lower man who will stay here.

"Anna." Isaac voice scares me out of my thoughts. "You're done working for today. I've been order to bring you back to the cellar."
A slight feeling of release passes through my body as I realise that he doesn't know about the knife that is till safely hidden under need my shirt.

I nod and quickly follow him out of the kitchen.
"Good luck." Senna whispers as I pass her. Quickly grabbing her hand, I squeeze it as a thank you.
I told her about my plan and promised her that if I succeeded, I would come back for her. And even though she told  me not to, I still will. She looked after me, even if it was only during those few hours we got to work together, by giving me some left over food or by letting me sleep in the rooms we were 'cleaning'. She did all she could do for me. Coming back and getting her out of here is the least I can do in return.

Ones I'm in the cellar I hear the door being locked tight. I quickly take the knife and hide it under the matress.
Now, we wait for the right moment to escape.
