Chapter 1
Lorenzo
“Where. is. she?” Alec shouts as he pummels his fists into an associate of Tommy’s face.
The goal is meant to be for him to retrieve information using whatever means necessary, but at this point it’s just more of an anger release for him. Do I blame him for it? No. But it isn’t getting us anywhere in trying to find Alissandra which has been the case for the last three men he had dragged in here.
We’ve been at this for hours with Alec stringing out the process for as long as he can, the guy underneath him is currently a pile of skin and bones at this point. There’s no chance he’s going to get anything of value out of him, especially if the gurgling noises coming from his throat are any indication to the state he’s in, I gather he won’t be alive for much longer.
I’d already assumed Alec had well and truly lost control, and watching him interrogate this guy has only confirmed my assumptions. Fuck knows where Freddie is, I think he left after about 20 minutes into the first interrogation unable to stomach it any longer.
It’s always the same, Freddie can never watch for too long having to tap out at some point or other. Whereas usually I’ve watched Alec do this enough times to not be the slightest bit fazed by it. Although I have to admit this is getting a bit extreme now.
You’d think the fact that he’d drilled holes through various limbs, pulled teeth and blown out both knee caps with the guy not giving any kind of inclination to where Alissandra was would be enough of a confirmation to Alec that he didn’t know anything.
But no he didn’t stop there, I don’t think he could even if he tried.
Once it was evident that the guy had nothing to give Alec moved onto using just his fists to quite literally beat the guy to death. It’s been impossible to pull him out of this psychotic rage since we walked into that safehouse in Ohio and I can’t see it easing until we find Alissandra.
Where ever the fuck she is.
It took hours to get to the safehouse where Alissandra was. We’d already sent men that were closer to check and knew she definitely wasn’t there but even though they’d given us warning I don’t think anything could have prepared us for what we saw.
Brad and Zak were the first inclination that Antonio was a different kind of monster. Both of them were dead which was expected but both of their heads had been removed. Seemingly taken along by Antonio for whatever sick reason.
The room Alissandra must have been staying in was the worst of it all and it’s what sent Alec spiraling out of control.
The whole room was completely trashed. The full length mirror by the door had been smashed with blood over the shards of glass that covered the floor. Leading from the mirror all the way over to the bed was a trail of blood which was accompanied by a blood soaked bed.
Laying on top of the blood was a handwritten note.
Thank you for delivering my precious Ali to me, I was worried that I may never find her but now that I have her I’ll be taking her with me and ensuring I never lose her again.
Antonio
The fucker was toying with us there was not doubt about that but I didn’t dare think about what exactly he’d done to her or could still be doing to her, I had to put all of my focus into starting to create a plan to get her home. Home where she would be safe.
But it had been two weeks since then and we hadn’t been able to find a shred of information about where they could possibly be. At this point we didn’t even know if they were still in the country. Let alone if Alissandra was still alive.
I couldn’t let myself think about the possibility that she wasn’t either. If I did that we’d have as much as given up on her and I was never going to do that.
So until we find her Alec is free to continue his rampage, we’ll deal with the consequences of it later.
I continued to watch as Alec smashed the guys head off the concrete floor until I couldn’t stomach the brain matter being scattered everywhere anymore. “Alec he’s dead man” I said as I tried to pull him away. At first he didn’t listen to a word I said not even acknowledging that I was there it took a few more attempts at shaking him to finally snap him back down to reality. By the time he let go of the guy and turned to look at me the soulless look in his eyes was scary.
“Bring the next one in” he grunted getting up and kicking the guy on the floor.
I shook my head signally for Todd to ignore him “that’s enough for today” I said trying to defuse him but he was blood thirsty and wanting more.
“I said bring in the next one” he shouted making Todd flinch slightly which was a hard thing to do for a man that usually had great composure.
Just when I thought Alec would swinging for me my phone buzzed in my pocket. I knew it would be something important everyone knew not to contact me right now unless they had something that would lead us to finding Alissandra. I answered the call and before I could even say anything Peter’s rushed voice came through the phone. “I’ve got Tommy” he said proudly down the phone and I got chills. We’d been searching for the fucker this whole time. If anyone had any idea where Antonio and Alissandra were it would be him.
An hour later Peter was dragging Tommy’s limp body through the warehouse. He took him into the room Alec had been using to torture his latest victims and tied him up. We all headed there but I stopped Alec before he could go in.
“No you’re staying out here” He went to protest but I silenced him. “Alec you have no fucking control right now we need answers and if he says one wrong thing you’re likely to snap his neck and fuck it completely”
“I hate to say it but L is right” Freddie said agreeing with me.
“Once you’ve got your answers he’s mine” Alec grunted and sat himself on the chair outside. We needed to get Alissandra back for him more than anything if we didn’t I don’t think he’d ever actually come back from this.
Tommy was still passed out in the chair so I decided to give him a nice cold wake up call of iced water. As I threw it over him his eyes shot open and he gasped for air with his eyes darting around everywhere. Once his eyes settled on me he seemed to realise exactly what was happening here. “Tommy boy we’ve been looking for you” Freddie chuckled maliciously.
“Fuck you” he spat back and i sent my fist flying through his face.
“Look Tommy you know we’re going to kill you, so either you tell me what I need to know and I make it quick for you or I send Alec in here and you know exactly what he’s capable of” I tried reasoning with him even though I really didn’t want to.
His eyes widened and it seemed like just the threat of Alec was more than enough to get him talking but he clearly thought he could spout of a little first. “I don’t know where they are but I do know he’s fucking that sweet pussy of hers like there’s no tomorrow” Freddie fist was coming down on him but he just started to laugh and it was at that point I decided to fuck it and let Alec loose.
“Wrong answer. Alec!” I barley said his name and he came barging into the room with furious glare. He had one thing on his mind and that was inflicting as much pain as possible. “I warned you man” I said to Tommy shrugging.
He took one look at Alec and pissed himself. The fucker actually pissed himself “No no okay” he pleaded as he started thrashing around in the chair in pure panic. “They’re still in the states he won’t take her back to Italy until she compliant” he practically screamed the words and Alec hadn’t even moved yet.
I leant toward in my chair “What do you mean compliant?”
He looked at Alec and then back to me not responding to my question so I gave Alec a nod indicating he could begin having his fun.
He grabbed the pliers from the table and started pulling out Tommy’s finger nails. It took till the third finger for him to finally start talking again. “He’s torturing her man and he isn’t going to stop until she agrees to go with him” my stomach churned to think what Alec was doing right now could be the same thing happening to her.
Once I started thinking about I couldn’t stop. He’d had Alissandra for two weeks now. The pain he could inflict on her in that time was terrifying. “And if she doesn’t agree to go with him?” Freddie asked seeming to be thinking the exact same as me.
Tommy started laughing at the mere thought that Alissandra would resist. “She will, he’s going to make sure of it. His plan isn’t to kill her he wants to keep her. The sick fuck is obsessed with her” he paused and shook his head. “You saw the state of that room and that was when he was happy to see her”
“You watched him hurt her?” As soon as the words come out of Alec’s mouth I knew it was game over. Tommy was dead. Alec charged for him.
“Fred’s” I called out and before Alec could get any closer Freddie grabbed hold of him trying his hardest to restrain him.
I got in Tommys face to make one last ditch attempt to get anything more out of him. “Do you know where she is?” He gave me a blank look. “If you tell me where she is I put this bullet through your head now if not Freddie let’s him go” I turned my head to look at Alec who was panting and practically foaming at the mouth. Even I was a little scared of him right now.
“I don’t know where she is I swear” Tommy cried and with that I nodded my head and Freddie let Alec go. We both left the room leaving him to do what he had to do but before the door was even closed Tommy’s screamed soared through the warehouse.
