Nikolaos
" Andy, tráeme un maldito teléfono. Es urgente." I growled at him in spanish for a phone.
( Andy, get me a god damned phone. Its urgent.)
" Sí, señor. ¿está todo bien?" He asked and my jaw ticked from my anger rising. I had no time for fucking questions.
( Yes sir. Is everything alright?)
" No, sólo haz lo que te dije." I snapped at him scanning my surroundings. We got away from the men but they could be on their way here. Shit.
( No, just do what the fuck I said.)
Arden latched on to my arm doing the same thing I was doing. "I thought it only had one here, not three Niko." She mumbled same time Andy came hustling out of the back room with a phone.
I grabbed it and dialed one of my lethal fighters. He picked up on the first ring. "Boss." He grunted into the phone.
"Vader, I need your ass at my hotel Asap. And bring guns and when you shoot aim at there heads. You will know them when you see them." I said to him, hanging up soon after.
I tossed the phone back to Andy and we hurriedly made our way back to our room. I took Arden by her waist and lead her in front of me. We were basically running.
Then an explosion struck.
BOOM!
BOOM!
BOOM!
Arden
We were by the pool half way to the apartment when there was a loud noise that shook the ground beneath my feet.
Then there was another hitting the pool. Nikolaos jumped on top of me the water from the pool covered us. We were soaked in a matter of seconds.
We tried to get up but there was another one that hit one of the upper rooms causing glass pieces to fall on us. Even some of the walls. When I turned my to head to look behind us I saw a man with something small in his hand.
He threw it closer to us this time and I put my hands over my head and braced myself. Nikolaos put his on top of mine. Then it hit.
This time it flew us across the pool.
I felt the air knock right out of my chest on impact. I coughed a few times, my hearing gone. I couldn't hear anything except for the ringing in my ears.
Rolling over onto my stomach I tried looking for any signs of life. The smoke was thick in the atmosphere. When I squinted my eyes, I saw some people on the ground others trying to flee. Finally they landed on Nikolaos, he was passed out on the ground about ten feet away from me.
The bombs kept on coming. They were using grenades.
I collapsed in the grass where I was. I looked up at the dark night sky. The stars seemed to have retreated into the heavens. None of them were out on display.
Death. I have not thought about dying since my mom. Maybe it was my time to meet her on my way to hell. Because that was where I was going. The devil himself will welcome me with open arms.
After all I was his child. A bad seed from the start. Being with Nikolaos showed me my true self. I had two invisible horns on top of head from birth.
New determination started building in me. I was not gonna die laying down on my back. If I had to I would die on my feet, fighting along side my man.
The bombs finally stopped. I dug in my jacket for my gun and raised my head to see the three men searching bodies looking for us. My eyes went to Niko and he was moving.
I looked back to the three men but saw a fourth one. I blinked a few times to make sure I was not seeing things but I wasn't. There was a fourth man.
He did not look to be part of them. I couldn't quite recognize his facial features. Then it clicked. Niko called one of his fighters.
One minute he was hiding behind a wall and the next he was shooting rounds. He takes steady walks as he shoots his large gun. All three men go down with loud cries.
Putting my feet under me I limp over to a wounded Nikolaos. He is holding his right side as blood seeps through it. "Nikolaos. Shit what the hell hit you?" I asked trying to keep calm.
"It.....its nothing.... the glass went through my side..... I pulled the sucker out." He mumbled. I pushed his hands away examining for myself. And as he said there were two holes at his side. One entry and the other an exit. When I looked at the ground I saw the bloody glass.
The man whose name is Vader came over to us. "Boss you good?" He asked extending his hand to Niko for him to take. Niko took it and grunted all the way to his feet.
"Yeah I'm fine. Nothing a few stitches and bandages can't fix." He said giving him a one sided smile.
"Who the fuck were those men?" Vader asked helping him to walk.
"They are from a man named Vito Demonte." I said. And for like the first time he realized I was there. He just nodded his head and said nothing else.
As we passed the three men one was still alive. He got up from the floor stupid. Like the bullets didn't hit him in the head. We watched him as he stripped his bulletproof vest in his few seconds of shock.
By the time he was done and his eyes were settled on us, I had my gun cocked and at the ready aiming at his head.
"I should skin you alive and hang your body for the birds to feast on." I spat at him. He raised his arms up in surrender.
"Arden don't. We will take him to Pablo even if they track him there Vito can't attack." Nikolaos said.
I looked around me. Really taking in my surroundings. People lay dead everywhere, my eyes landed on Andy and my blood crawled. "Nikolaos....They killed Andy." I said. I raised my gun and shot off a few of his fingers.
The man cried out clutching his hand." You bitch!"
"Count your blessings it should have been your dick. That was for Andy."
I grabbed him and we all walked to Vader's jeep. He had rope in his truck. So I hog tied him and Vader threw him in the truck.
Vader was built like a body builder. He was huge and tall. He picked him with so much ease ,like throwing a garbage bag in a bin.

We were in France by sunrise.
Nikolaos was up and running after he got fixed up. The glass mildly punctured his side. A flesh wound.
"They blew up the hotel. Many fatalities occurred." Nikolaos related the story back to Pablo and his men.
Pablo held a meeting with his men and ours -were on video conferencing.
"We can no longer play house. So you have a prisoner use him. I know they are trained via torture. But torture comes at different levels." Phanes said through the Tv screen. I shook my head in agreement and so did everyone around the room.
"Vader can torture him. He takes torture to a new level." Nikolaos pointed to Vader. He came along with us for this very reason.
"Tell us son. How?" Pablo questioned him.
He stood up and walked from the back of the room to the front. "Back in America I'm known as the Skin Eater. Horrible name, but I ate people while they watched as I cooked their parts.
Your son found me on the run. Helped me out. I don't eat people anymore just tear out their throats with my teeth. I like the taste of my losers blood." He showed us his sharpened teeth that all looked like canines and the men around the room kind of looked sick by the end of his biography.
"It has been awhile since I ate my favorite meal. Trust me he will talk to me." He finished walking back to the back of the room.
"Niko you always had a way with men. Alright we let Vader have him. I already sent out invitations for the engagement party. We have to be prepared. We will use this party as a trap. We have two months to prepare. They will come to us. " Pablo spoke with so much authority and conviction and anger it was inspiring.
"Are you coming out of retirement?" Nikolaos asked looking him in his eyes. A conversation passing through them via eye contact.
"Yes I am."
***************
Ammmmm...... Yes Pablo was in retirement.
Ok so who wants in detail Vader's torture technique? Thats where he gets Vito's guy to talk. It can be a bit graphic in detail so I want you peeps opinion. And you know I always have a twist on things. So please comment and tell me.😈
BTW::: It can be done as early as tomorrow.
