KILLIAN MENDOZA
I throw the door to the room Brandon's men were confined open and all eyes move to me.
"Kam, where is he?"
Everyone exchange glances and I don't have time for that. I point my gun to the nearest person and shoot him. His body falls on the ground and blood pools around him.
"Shall we try again?" I ask. "Who the fuck is Kam?"
Someone stands up and approaches me. He's got a tough body build, and definitely looks like he can take Brandon.
"What do you want?" He ask with a confidence that makes my skin prick.
"Good thing we're getting down to business. Your soul!" I reply and deliver a strong punch onto his face. He staggers back and I don't give him time to recover, I continue delivering punched, hits to him and docking all his strikes until I bring him on his kneels. He's covered in bruise and blood but the sight doesn't satisfy me.
"You shot, Brandon. You don't deserve an easy death."
"He was going to kill your cousin," he tried to defend himself.
"My cousin can take care of himself and last I remembered, you were supposed to be one of Brandon's men," I punch him again.
I look around, the other people are up, probably ready to face me.
"Come on, you wanna take me?" I ask and see how they recoil. As I grab Kam, the door open and two of my men walk inside, take Kam from me and we leave.
Kam is taken to an underground torture room and he's tied. I take off my shirt and pick up a small knife.
"What are you going to do to me?" He ask, trembling slightly.
I turn to him. "I intend this to be quick. However, you hold the key to that. Can we start?"
"What do you want to do to me?"
I approach him and point the knife to his chest. "You shot Brandon, right?"
He gulps but doesn't answer me. I frown. "And I thought you'd make it quick," I hold up one of his fingers and cut it slowly. Blood drops and he shrieks but I don't listen. I decapitate his finger.
He's screaming, making a mess of noise and I on the other hand, am running out of patience. "Let's try again, shall we? You shot Brandon, right?"
"It was an accident... I didn't.."
"I'm sure you knew exactly what you were doing. You betrayed Brandon, tried to escape and when you found out you couldn't, took sides with my cousin. Tell me, what are you plotting?"
"You got it all wrong, I'm not plotting anything."
"I'm running out of patience, Kam. Tell me, what are you planning?"
"I swear, I'm not..."
I don't wait for him to finish before I move to his other finger and cut it out.
He's screaming again and I grab his neck, gripping him tight. "I'm going for the third if you don't speak."
When I don't get a reply, I press the knife to his third finger and that's when he speaks.
"Wait....."
"Better be what I want to hear."
"I heard Alessandro was looking for Brandon, and I wanted to escape. That's why I gave him up. I just wanted my freedom."
"Really, so you have no relationship with Kingpin?"
His eyes widen and that's the reaction I need. I cut another finger and he shouts again, shaking like a freezing dog.
"Sir," a voice speak from behind, stopping me.
"What's wrong?" I ask without turning backwards.
"Brandon Salvatore is awake and he's creating trouble."
"By trouble, you mean?" I ask.
"He's already stabbed someone to death, a health officer attending to him. Alessandro is not getting involved, he says you should handle it."
I chuckle softly. "Really?"
"He says if he steps in, he's killing Brandon for real this time."
I exhale. I'm definitely sure Alessandro would kill Brandon this time. I walk back to the table and drop the knife. "Keep this idiot occupied, I'll need to take care of a ravaging lion cub."
