Chapter 76
Luciano
“Luciano, hey, brother, come on, wake up!”
чере
Argh, fuck my head hurts. Where the hell am I? I try to rub my face, but my hands feel heavy. Opening my eyes I wait a moment for them to adjust to the lighting. It feels like there’s a fucking spotlight pointed at my face.
“There you go buddy, that’s it, wake up!”
“Luca?” I groan out and finally look around to where his voice came from. Thick metal bars separate us. He’s got dried blood down his face and a big yellowing bruise around his eye and cheek, his suit jacket is gone, and his white shirt has blood on it too. Fuck! It’s coming back to me now. Alexander!
“Yeah man, it’s me. What the hell happened to you man? You’ve been out for hours!”
“That fucking prick, Alexander drugged me!” I groan out, sitting up from the steel bench I’d been laying on. My body protests as I try to navigate my feet to the floor, but I manage it anyway.
“Did you know Hudson is working for him? Fucker smacked me with a crowbar!”
“Yeah man, I know…”
“What are we going to do? Did anyone get away to warn Ariana and Tony?”
“They’re dead man.”
“What?”
“All of them, dead. They shot them just before they drugged me.‘
“Fuck…”
“Yep.”
“Oh good, you’re awake! Now we can get started!” Alexander’s voice booms down the hallway. I take a second to look around now that my head is clearing. All I see is cells, white walls, silver benches, sinks and toilets and thick, heavy bars. Theres got to be at least fifty of them in this one hallway. Given, it is one of the cleanest holding cells I’ve ever seen. It gives off a hospital vibe, just without the freedom and added bars. Thankfully there’s no walls between the cells, just open spaces between the bars so I can see Luca and see Alexander and his goons coming.
“What the fuck do you want with us?” Luca spits out.
“Oh right, you missed the little introduction speech while you were…taking a nap. Never mind. Long story short, you’re bait for my girl to come to me, once she does, I’ll kill you as a gift to her.” Alexander smiles happily and then claps his hands. “Now that’s cleared up, let’s have some fun, shall we?”
He motions to his guard to Luca.
“Wait! Hey, fucker! You want to have some fun, come play with me!” He turns slowly towards my cell and his eyes turn vicious and cold.
“Oh, don’t worry boy, you’ll get your turn.” He clicks his fingers and points once again at Luca who’s backed himself up into the corner of his cell, his fists raised and face full of determination. He might be a golden retriever at the best of times, but Luca can hold his own. He wouldn’t be my second if he couldn’t.
“Come on then you bastard!” He yells, Four guards enter his cell, all holding batons, all large and ruthless looking. Luca gives his best but four on one and with his head injury before, he drops quickly, and they continue to beat him.
“Luca!” I slam the bars, feeling fucking helpless as I watch my best mate on the ground trying to protect his head and vital organs. Alexander walks in and his goons stop and make way for him. He pulls out what looks like a baton, presses it to Luca’s back and it fucking electrocutes him. Making his body convulse rapidly as he moans out before he goes limp. They say nothing as they grab his hands and start dragging him out and down the hall, leaving a trail of blood behind them.
