Part One Hundred and Sixteen

Part One Hundred and Sixteen
Two weeks later
Agron felt the tension building. Timo was a dangerous man, even more so than he was. If tonight didn’t go according to plan, then they were all fucked. He should’ve told Lev about the secret passage Timo had uncovered into his compound, but for some reason he wanted to keep that to himself.
Agron didn’t trust blindly and he didn’t trust the Vittori brothers, Gage least of all. The man was certifiable and dangerous. If there was one man that could take Timo down, then that man was Gage Vittori.
He was even more insane when it came to that Russian woman he’d claimed and he’d seen the dead, cold look in Gage’s eyes. She was the dangerous element because she could change Gage’s mind, in whichever direction she wanted.
He wondered if he would react the same way if it had been Inara. He shook his head. The answer was yes. He’d kill for Inara, make people bleed for her. He already knew that there would come a time when he would kill Weston, unless the boy learned his lesson.
He knew that Gage was somewhere. Lev and Dominic were on a warehouse roof, watching him. His face turned stoic as a set of headlights flashed around the corner and he emerged from the shadows with the briefcase of cash in his hands.
Timo climbed out of his car and walked toward Agron, his lips pursed together and his eyes darting everywhere. “Rumor has it you snagged yourself a Vittori bride.”
“For once the rumors are true. Rocco has a big hard-on for Dominic Vittori’s demise,” Agron said.
“Breaking a woman is the greatest pleasure there is in life,” Timo said and held his hand out for the briefcase.
“I prefer compliance without breaking them. Women are much more useful to me when they are happy, quiet and know their place. I don’t need to break them,” Agron replied.
“If you say so, Makolli,” Timo said as he gripped the briefcase in his hand. “My plan for Lev Volkov’s demise is coming along nicely. I have a complete layout of his compound and when I’m ready I’ll take his pretty little wife with me and add her to my collection.”
Timo’s hand went to his neck and his eyes widened. Agron took a step backward and his lips curled up into a sneer. “I think not, Timo.”
Timo fell forward and Agron saw the dart sticking out from his neck. A few seconds later, Gage, Dominic and Lev walked down the dirt road and Dominic’s men emerged from the other side. Gage handed the rifle to Austin and looked down at Timo.
“Let’s go have some fun,” Gage said.
Timo was transported to the docks and they followed behind the van Gage drove and parked their respective cars inside the empty building. A lone chair stood in the middle of the warehouse and Gage tied Timo to the chair.
Gage stuck a small vial under Timo’s nose and his eyes snapped open and his head jerked up. He groaned loudly and Gage took a step backward. “Good morning, sunshine.”
“What the fuck is this?” Timo roared.
“The end of the line, motherfucker,” Lev said and punched Timo so hard that everyone could hear his ribs break.
Timo gasped for breath and his face was contorted in pain. Lev grabbed his jaw roughly and forced his head up. “Where is Sabrina Sobol? I know you took her, Yana told us everything.”
Timo grinned and his teeth were stained red with his own blood. “She sure was a screamer, that one.”
Lev was now glad that he’d left Nikita at the compound to watch Hunter because this motherfucker in front of him would’ve already been dead.
Gage walked past Lev with a blowtorch in his hands and lit it up. “Did you know that the penis is basically muscle and cartilage? The soft skin of your balls will actually shrivel as they burn. This flame is so hot that it might take a minute or two for the pain to register, but once it does, Hudson over there is going to need a fucking towel with the way his dick is going to leak pre-cum with your howling.”
“Fuck,” Hudson muttered and grinned.
“Take his pants off,” Gage said as Ethan and Cooper stepped forward.
“Wait! Fuck! Wait!” Timo yelled. “She never left the compound. In Nikita’s apartment is a secret doorway that leads to the inside of the walls. Follow the walls to the basement, there’s a little room off to the side. She’s in there.”
Lev stood to one side and pulled his phone from his jacket pocket and walked to the outside as Dominic appeared from the side. He’d already been arrested and appeared in court on bail. Two fucking million dollars later and he was a free man.
“You killed my brother, Timo, and you know that shit’s not going to go unpunished,” Dominic said as he pulled his arm back and broke Timo’s nose. Blood gushed from his broken nose and ran down his face.
“The little fuck was getting too close,” Timo said and gasped for air. “It was Rocco’s orders. The little bitch too, he wanted them both dead.”
Dominic nodded his head and Ethan and Cooper stripped Timo of his pants as he screamed. “I’m not going to burn your dick off, Timo.” A switchblade appeared in Dominic’s hand and he stuck the knife deep into Timo’s testicle.
The scream was high-pitched and Dominic grinned as he looked at the blood flowing from between Timo’s legs. Dominic wiped the blade on Timo’s shirt and folded it before putting it back in his pocket.
“Put him in the container bound for Serbia, the one with the rats in. At least they’ll have enough food on the trip,” Dominic said and turned his back on Timo as he started screaming again.
Gage lowered his head so he was face to face with Timo. “I hear rats eat anything they can, not to starve to death. The scent of your blood will make them hungrier. Dominic added a nice touch to your balls and that’s where they’ll start to nibble.”
