The Rescuer's MC Bk 4

Chapter 22 - Taking care of Helen's nightmare demon

Prez turned to the prospects and said "Do any of you think this man should be set free?"

"NO SIR!" They all answered in unison.

"Thor, would you like to start us off?" Prez asked.

"Glad to." Thor said as he finished wrapping his hands. As soon as he was ready, Thor stepped up in front of Ted and said "This is for making my woman nervous and making her cut her shopping trip short and for scaring my sisters." He hit Ted in the ribs about 5 or 6 times and Ted laughed only for the first 2 blows then he started to spit blood.

"Hey, Thor, save some for the rest of us." Knife called out.

"Gladly. I don't want to get all sweaty tonight. I have a different kind of work out planned tonight." Thor said and all of the men laughed.

"Can't say I blame you there, big man. She is very beautiful." Ted choked out which sent Thor into a rage and he roared then began punching Ted again. His arms worked like pistons as he drove his fists into Ted over and over again and everyone could hear Ted's ribs breaking.

"THOR! THOR! Save some for Booboo! We want him alive when they meet." Prez called out but stayed well away from his friend, knowing better than to get in front of him right now.

One more punch to Ted's face broke Ted's nose and knocked out his front teeth.

"Jess, go bring a disposal van to the door, please." Prez instructed. "Carlyle, Greggory, bring a tarp and spread it out on the floor right here."

"Yes, sir." All 3 boys answered and Jess took off out the door while Greggory pulled a tarp off the rack on the wall and he and Carlyle spread it out on the ground near where Knife and Troll were lowering Ted's body down. Ted moaned a few times but never tried to resist, mainly because he was all broken up inside and even if Booboo didn't show up right away, he wasn't far from dying from his injuries.

When Jess stuck his head back in the door and let them know he had the van backed up to the door, the rest of the prospects loaded Ted into the back of it. "Ivan, drive an SUV and follow Jess. Carlyle, ride with Jess, the rest of you ride with Ivan. If any of the rest of you want to go, let's get going. It's cold out here." Prez said and everyone filed out of the shed. Most of the patched members went back inside but Thor, Knife, Digger and Snoop rode with Prez up to where they feed the black bear.

"Digger, I'm not sure if Booboo is still going to be roaming around so you may have to come back and dig a hole for him." Prez said.

"One of these days I'm going to dig a big burn hole up there so this won't be a problem in the future." Digger said.

"That would be fine except it leaves traceable evidence that way. That's why I like being able to feed Booboo. He doesn't leave anything but a stain on the ground, which washes away when it rains." Prez said.

Carlyle climbed into the front with Jess and sat quietly, without looking over his shoulder.

"You don't talk much, do you?" Jess asked.

"Learned a long time ago not to." Carlyle said then after a few seconds asked "Does this happen often?"

"No but often enough for me. But I will say, they don't do this lightly. When I first came here, I lost everything I ate all day when they would do this. But every man it happened to fully deserved it, especially the Carter children's uncle. This was tame compared to what they did to him. Now I can watch most of it without flinching. And they never do it without good cause. The person has to have done something pretty horrible for it to get to this point." Jess said.

"Why do they say this is part of a loyalty test?" Carlyle asked and Jess explained what that meant and Carlyle just nodded.

They pulled up to the parking area and Jess backed the van into place while Prez and the other SUVs carrying the other prospects pulled up. All of the prospects hurried to the back of the disposal van and pulled Ted's body out of the back and rolled him onto the bare ground.

"Strip him down and bring me his wallet. Don't want to leave any trace of who he was." Prez explained to the new prospects. They removed his shoes and clothes and threw them back into the van. Jess carried Ted's wallet over to Prez.

"Knife, call Booboo." Prez said.

Knife told Jess, "Bring me that big knife he had on his hip."

Jess hurried to bring him the Bowie knife and handed it to Knife.

"Nice blade." He said as he stooped down next to Ted. "Isn't it ironic that the same knife you used to kill Helen's family will be the same one used on you? I just have one question. Why? Why kill her parents and her sister like that? Why cut Helen up like that?"

"I told you. I like hearing women scream and making them bleed. I thought I had killed Helen too but somehow she managed to survive. When I saw her at the mall today, I thought I had a chance to finish the job." Ted coughed up more blood.

"Well, here is how she felt." Knife said as he plunged Ted's big knife low on his stomach and drug the blade across, nearly disemboweling the man. Ted screamed but only for a second before he began to choke on the blood from where his ribs had punctured his lungs.

"It hurts!" Ted said, almost in surprise.

"No shit, asshole." Knife said and then stepped away.

Everyone loaded back into the vehicles and after about 20 minutes, they saw a large black bear at the edge of the clearing but he was maintaining his distance from the vehicles as he lifted his head and sniffed the air. Prez called out for them to back up some more and to turn off their lights to just the running lights. They watched as Booboo approached Ted and after pushing Ted around a bit, began to feed and Ted screamed as the big bear began to consume him.

Prez told Thor. "Let's go home. Digger, come back in the morning and make sure there's nothing left."

"Will do, Prez." Digger responded.

A/N: I'd never leave you hangin' so don't worry, book 5 is done. Keep
