Bruised Angel (River of Lies #2) (29 page)

Knox shook his head and focused on the job at hand. The two men slowly crept into the bedroom. They could see the shadows of Maggie and Carl curled up in bed. Blade went up one side of the bed, while Knox went to the other. Knox held his hand up and counted down his fingers, as he put his last finger down Blade and Knox both reached out suddenly and covered their victim’s mouth as they woke them. Knox looked down into Carls bulging eyes and waved his hand with an evil grin plastered to his face.

Just the sight of Carl made him sick. The things he could do to that child, it made his stomach churn and he wanted nothing more than cause him as much pain as he could. With his hand over Carl’s face Knox reached out and dragged him by the arm into the living room. He shoved Carl onto the couch and pointed at him, Knox’s hand still covering the piece of shit’s mouth.

“You sit there and you shut up. You say nothing, not a single fucking word” he growled “Got it?”

Carl nodded his head like the little performing monkey he was. Knox nodded and removed his hand slowly from Carls face,  not taking it too far away ready to slap it back over his mouth should Carl yell. Blade came in behind Knox with Maggie in his arms and threw her down to the couch. Knox folded his arms across his chest and shook his head.

“Fucking disgrace the pair of you” Knox spat.

Knox turned to Maggie who looked away and instantly chewed her nail. It was the same action he had seen Chelsea do many times when she got nervous. He shook his head, throwing all thoughts of Chelsea’s little’s quirks out of his mind. He pointed at Maggie.

“How the fuck can you do this Maggie?” Knox said with disgust. “That child sat and poured her heart out to you, she told you in detail what this piece of shit did to her and you come back here?”

Knox could feel his heart beat starting to race as the anger filled his soul. His brain was starting to blur and he was starting to see red and knew if he didn’t get control of his anger he would end up making a mistake. Knox sucked in a deep breath and let it out slowly, calming his anger. Maggie shook her head.

“I’m sorry Knox. I was just so lonely” she said as tears welled in her eyes.

Knox shook his head and snorted. That was no fucking excuse, he thought. He shook his head again as he reached for Carl, whose eyes were about to bug out of his head.

“What are you going to do?” Maggie asked with panic in her voice.

“What you should have fucking done when you heard what this cunt did to your daughter” Knox snarled at her.

Maggie shook her head with tears streaming down her face.

“Oh no Knox please, don’t do that” she begged.

Knox turned and snapped his head close to her.

“Shut the fuck up or you will be fucking first” Knox growled.

Maggie bit her lip and shrunk against the back of the couch. Blade pulled out another pouch from the back of his pants and put it on the coffee table, unravelling it. Inside the pouch was all sorts of medical instruments that they had got from Brady over the years. Knox looked Carl up and down who was starting to visible shake. His fear made Knox feel good. He wanted him to fear. Knox drew close to Carl and reached for the waistband of his pants.

“Time for your punishment Carl” Knox growled through gritted teeth.

Carl’s eyes were about to fall out of their sockets as he looked at Knox shaking his head from side to side. Knox nodded and smiled at him widely, narrowing his eyes as he towered over the shrinking man. With a quick movement Knox pulled Carl’s pants down to his ankles exposing his genitals and stood back. Both Knox and Blade stood with their hands to their chins looking at Carl.

“Not much to work with is there?” Blade said squinting his eyes.

Knox grinned a crooked smile and nodded. He hadn’t expected there to be. Fear had an uncanny way of turning the largest of cocks into press studs. Blade chose a thin  scalpel and moved forward. Carl shook his head and tried to back away but  hit the wall with his back.

“Oh god; Knox please don’t do this” Maggie said from behind the men.

Knox spun on his heel and grabbed her by the throat. Her eyes widened and she begun to gasp for air, clawing at his hands.

“I won’t tell you again to shut the fuck up” Knox growled through clenched teeth as he tightened his grasp on her throat.

Maggie nodded quickly as tears sprung from her eyes. He let go of her throat with a shove and she flung back into the couch holding her neck and coughing. When he turned around he saw Blade had Carl’s cock in his gloved hand and Carl was crying big fat tears.

“Now just hold still this won’t hurt a bit” Blade said as he swiped the scalpel through the first layer of skin.

Carl squeezed his eyes shut and let out a whimper.

“So I lied, it’s going to hurt a lot” Blade said with a shrug of his shoulder as he sawed at Carl’s cock, releasing it from his body and holding it up.

Carl turned white and his knee’s buckled as blood began to squirt from the arteries where his cock had once been. The blood began instantly soaking into the carpet, spraying up Blade’s leg. Blade dropped the severed penis to the ground and grabbed Carl by the arms.

“Oh no you don’t” Blade said as he laid him on the couch.

Carl’s blood continued to spray all over the living room. Maggie gasped and covered her mouth in horror, her face paling and tears streaming down her cheeks. Blade went to his bag and pulled out a syringe filled with liquid, flicking the syringe lightly, he stuck Carl with the needle and squirted the fluid into him. While Maggie sat on the couch with her hands over her eyes sobbing quietly. Blade returned to his bag and pulled out a small bottle with silver liquid inside, he poured some of the liquid onto the gaping wound in Carl’s groin, instantly sealing the arteries to stop them from spraying everywhere. Blade stood and slapped Carl on either cheek hard.

“We can’t have you  missing out on all the fun” Blade said as Carl’s eyes flicked open and bulged again.

Knox and Blade smiled down at him. He fell to his knees off the couch and tried to crawl away but Knox stood on Carl’s hand. He yelped and looked up at Knox who shook his head.

“No, no you stay right there” he said. “You take your punishment”

Blade went back to the bag and pulled out another syringe holding it up and flicking it again.

“This is the fun one, watch what this does” Blade said as he knelt next to Carl and grabbed his arm.

Carl shook his head and tried to pull his arm out of Blade’s grasp.

“Now, now don’t fight or I’ll bend the needle and I’ll have to get the other one out, and trust me when I say you don’t want me to do that” he said with a sweet smile.

It always amazed Knox how evil Blade could become. Any other day he was a gentle teddy bear, but the minute he had to do dirty work he became the sickest and most sadistic cunt there was. It was only natural for Knox to have chosen him as his Sergeant at arms, no one else could do what Blade did. Knox focused back on Blade and Carl who was still trying to struggle. Knox stood over Carl and looked down at him waggling his finger.

“Stop twitching. It will feel nice soon” Knox said with a smile nodding his head reassuringly.

Carl frowned and shook his head.

“Please I will apologise to Chelsea” Carl begged.

“Don’t do that” Knox snarled curling his lip with disgust “Snivelling is the next worst trait to paedophilia. Oh and look your one of those slimy cunts too”

Knox shook his head and stood up, just as Blade slid the thin metal needle into Carl’s arm. He winced and looked at Blade with fear. Blade pushed the syringe and stood up, putting the empty syringe back in the pouch. Blade turned to Maggie who still had her hands over her face.

“You’ll wanna watch this one. This is good” he said with a smile.

Maggie lifted her head to look at Carl just as the solution started to take effect. Carl’s eyes widened as he began to twitch and involuntarily shake, his arms and legs shooting out at all angles like he was doing a solitary and painful dance. His face became red and he grabbed at his arm. Carl’s mouth opened as he writhed on the floor as his vein began to bubble and slowly explode throughout his body. Blood poured from his nose, ears, eyes and the place his cock once was, breaking the seal of silver Blade had used to stop the bleeding in the first place. Carl let out a silent scream as he folded himself into a little ball on the floor. Maggie gasped a deep breath and sat shaking her head. With a final silent scream Carl stopped moving and Blade stepped forward touching gingerly on his neck. Blade looked up at Knox and nodded letting him know that Carl was dead. Knox nodded and smiled slowly turning to face Maggie, narrowing his eyes and twisting his mouth into a snarl. Her eyes bulged and she began to shake her head from side to side.

“Oh please no” she cried holding her hand up.

Knox nodded and took her arms.

“Don’t worry yours is going to be quick” he said taking the gun that Blade had in his hand.

Knox held the gun and took hold of Maggie’s hand. She had her eyes closed and tears flooded her cheeks as she shook her head. The smell of urine reached Knox’s nostrils and he looked down to see the puddle forming at their feet. He ignored the puddle and slipped her finger with his across the trigger. He pressed the cold steel to Maggies chin, clicking back the lock and quickly pushing down the trigger. There was a sharp crack, as he was sprayed with blood and brain matter. Knox felt repulsion fill him as the wetness of her head oozed down his face. Her knees buckled and she fell to the floor. Knox let her go and heard her hit the ground with a thud. The gun falling from her hand and landing beside her, Blade handed Knox a paper towel and he wiped his face. Blade picked up the gun from where it had fallen. Knox standing in the exact place it fell so as to return it. Blade pointed the gun down at Carl and shot him three more times. Carl’s lifeless body jolting with each entry of the bullet. Blade turned and dropped the gun back down at where Knox stood. He had already packed up the pouch and put it back into his pants. Knox looked around the room at the two dead bodies that lay there and the oozing blood that was soaking into the carpet underfoot.

Blade and Knox left through the back door locking it behind them and skipped over the back fences and driving off in their waiting car. It wasn’t for another few months that the police finally showed up at Knox’s place to let Chelsea know that her parents were killed. He could see it in the way she looked at him that she knew it was him that had killed them. There wasn’t much that got past the kid. She was a smart cookie, he loved her like one of his own. He couldn’t believe that Mason had fucked that whore, but he was pleased to see how tough Chelsea truly was. He knew that everything was going to be alright. In his world there was always going to be drama, there was always going to be tragedy, but Chelsea was his little ray of sunshine.

Outlaw Shit

Waylon Jennings

I’m for law and order

The way it should be

This song’s about the night they spent

Protecting you from me

Someone called us outlaws

In some old magazine

New York sent a posse down

Like I ain’t never seen

Don’t you think this outlaw shit

Has gotten out of hand?

What started out to be a joke

The law don’t understand

Was it singing through my nose

That got me busted by the man?

This ait it, this outlaw shit

Has gotten out of hand, out of hand

We were wrapped up in the music

That’s why we never saw

The cars that pull up, the boys get out

And the room fill up with law

They came pounding through the back door

In the middle of my song

They got me for possession of something

That was long gone

Don’t you think this outlaw shit

Has gotten out hand?

What started out to be a joke

The law don’t understand

Was it singing through my nose

That got me busted by the man?

This ain’t, this outlaw shit

Has gotten out of hand, out of hand.
