“Queenie,” Cass says, his voice softer than what it was a moment before. “This is the guy we hired to track you down and give you the money to start over when Dean sent you away.”
My heart stops, my blood turning to ice, and just like that, Harlow jumps out the fucking window, so Queenie can take her place.
“Oh, he is, is he?” I ask, my voice low and deadly.
“Wait, what?” The little weasel looks up at the guys. “I didn't steal any money from Queenie. Only a fool would try anything like that.”
“But you did,” Neo purrs, petting the side of the guy’s face. The man flinches at Neo’s touch. “You see, eight years ago, we gave you twenty thousand dollars. You were supposed to find a girl and give it to her. But the funny thing is, we just found out that the money never made it to her. That you took it and ran,” Neo growls out. He grips the man's jaw in his hand, squeezing as he digs his nails into his skin, and tears at the flesh as he pulls away.
“But, but, that money wasn't meant for Queenie. It was for some dumb chick, a nobody!”
“Ouch, dude. I mean I know I wasn’t all that important but dumb? Really? Well... I mean I did let myself get kidnapped by a pretty man in an expensive suit, but that could have all been avoided if you didn't run off with my money.” I cock my head to the side, giving him a blank look.
“No.” He shakes his head. “No, that was meant for some Hailey chick.”
“Harlow, you daft idiot, and hi, I’m that chick.” I grin, giving him a little wave.
His eyes widen when he realizes what I’m saying. I don’t give a shit if he knows my real name because he's gonna be dead here soon anyways.
“I’m sorry. I needed the money. My mom, she was sick!” he lies, trying to cover his own ass.
“You’re full of shit.” Cass laughs darkly. “When we found out you stole from us, we looked into you. Took a while, but we saw some lovely videos of you spending quite a bit of money on drugs and hookers. Guess your mother wasn't that sick if you felt the need to use it all on yourself.”
The guy says nothing. He knows he can't dig himself out of this one.
“So, my Queen, this man is the reason you were on the streets, the reason you needed money and fell into the wrong hands. What do you want to do with him?” Neo asks, his eyes filling with excitement at getting his hands bloody.
“You know, he didn't just betray me. He stole from you as well. I think this time, if you want, you can handle this one,” I say, leaning back in my chair.
“Wait, you mean a solo kill?” Neo asks, his eyes turning hopeful.
“No, more like a family kill. Why stop the bonding weekend now? End it on a good note with a fun group activity.” I grin up at him.
“By murdering him?” Axel asks with a raised brow.
“Do younotwant the pound of flesh you’re owed? Do younotwant to see him destroyed for what he did to all of us?” I counter.
“Oh, no, I want all of that. I was just making sure we were on the same page,” he gives me a sly smile.
“What about you two?” I ask. I know Cass killed the monster who touched his kid, but that was different. Anyone would be driven to murder, to kill, if it was for their child in that situation, well, at least the good people would.
“He fucked with what's ours, and now he needs to pay,” Dean growls.
“He's the reason you were in Hell for all those years. Like fuck he’s gonna leave here alive,” Cass replies.
“Well then, the floor is yours.” I grin, extending my arm in a dramatic gesture.
Neo drags the man kicking and screaming over to the middle of the room where there is a chair with a hook dangling above it. The guys work together to tie his hands and hang him up.
“I think a time like this calls for some music,” I say, getting up and grabbing the remote for the sound system before taking my throne again.
Godzillaby Eminem featuring Juice WRLD starts to blare through the speakers. I start to sing and bob along to the music.I love this song.
As the song plays, the guys take their turns having their fun. Cass uses him as his own personal punching bag until the guy is spitting up blood. Dean takes a turn, a shiny black gun is his weapon of choice from the table of goodies. He pops off a few shots into his legs, arms, and shoulders, making him bleed but also keeping him alive for all the fun that’s to come.
Then it's Axel’s turn. The fucker pulls out a fucking blow torch! I hate to admit it but that’s so fucking cool.
Neo tosses his head back letting out a roar of laughter before saying, “And I thought I was the crazy one!” He has to shout to be heard over the music and the man's screams.
