Angel pushed the gun harder into Razor’s head, turning slightly to look at Cypher, “Do you want Meg treated for her gunshot wound in prison?”
Gavin closed his eyes for a moment, “I… I can… I can do it in a sterile room. I need supplies though.”
Four was beside him with Dani, both of them taking notes for what he needed. Dani reached out a hand, almost subconsciously and gave my shoulder a squeeze, from where I was propped up on my knees beside Meg and Gavin.
Razor started laughing, then let out a wet cough, “Ugh you guys are fucking pathetic. I guess I will ruin the surprise about the game.”
I noticed now that he had a wound on his left thigh and in his stomach. Either someone missed or wanted him to suffer.
“Shut the fuck up, you’ve caused enough damage.” Angel roared.
Razor looked up at him, blood on his teeth, and pushed his head harder into the nozzle. “What are you going to do? Shoot me?”
Four moved beside Angel, “Say what you gotta say Razor, Say it now or you can save it for when you spend some time in the shed with me.”
Dani was talking to Ledger and Torch and then they were moving, gathering prospects to clear the parking lot before they left to get whatever supplies the doc’s needed.
Razor didn’t flinch or hesitate, he coughed and then spit out some blood, “Your ex wife was all too happy to sell off her son in lieu of her being taken. I didn’t even have to threaten her all that much.”
Four clenched his fists at his side, and Razor kept going, “And Marisol…” he stopped choking and coughing for a moment, then continued, “Your sister knew you were pregnant and she was still willing to be used in this little game… wanna know how much it took for her to participate? How much are you and your unborn baby worth to her?”
Marisol let out a gasp, Mara had arm wrapped around her, close to where Gregory was working on Axel.
A whimpered sound came out of Carmen, and I had to squeeze my eyes shut for a moment. The room spun and I wasn’t feeling the greatest, so I dropped to the ground, finding it easier to be on my uninjured side.
“It can’t be true, Carmen.. Tell me it isn’t true.” Marisol cried out.
I opened my eyes to see Carmen take a shaky step towards her sister, the last person standing behind Razor. But Torch was moving towards her gun drawn, “You don’t get to go anywhere near her. Tell the truth. Did you sell out your sister?”
Carmen looked at Marisol, a sob tearing out of her. Her words coming out between choked tears, “H…he was g..going.. t..to kill me and I…I owed money an…and he offered to pr…protect me af..ter.”
Marisol’s usually tanned complexion was pale and the look ofhorror that crossed her face was heartbreaking. No one was making it out of this whole.
Marisol closed her eyes, then asked, “How much?”
When Carmen didn’t answer, Marisol opened her eyes and screamed, “How much did he offer to pay you?”
“Fif..fifty… g…grand.” She was shaking, she was crying so hard.
Marisol stood, staring at her for a minute. Then she turned to Torch, her voice devoid of emotion, “Take her to the shed with, Razor.”
Torch looked conflicted, “Marisol, maybe take some time to think about it…”
She cut him off, “Time… Time?… she was willing to sell me off to a psychopath trafficker and knew I was pregnant, she went to my first appointment with me, when…” She shook her head and then squared her shoulders, “Put her in the shed, if Axel or Meg die so does she.”
Shocked gasps echoed across the room, but Marisol didn’t react. She turned and moved slowly walking to the hallway that led to the rooms. Mara chased after her.
Torch looked to Angel who nodded, and with a sigh he escorted a distraught Carmen out back.
Razor wheezed, pulling everyone's attention back to him.
Four motioned for everyone to get moving, “Lets get Razor into his accommodations and get what we need to get everyone patched up.”
“What if he doesn’t last long enough to be questioned?” I asked, feeling heavy all of a sudden.
Gavin sighed and then took a deep breath, looking up from Meg. “Once you three are stable. I can help with that.”
Four and Angel dragged Razor out back, a trail of blood following them. So much blood had been shed today. So much pain… we did this… we…
