Elijah woke up, soaked wet from head to toe. trying to move he realises he is bound to a chair real tight.
"Finally woke up uhh bastard"
smack..
Elijah was punched hard in his face, 'what the fuck' he tries to rationalize what's going on but nothing really popped up in his head.
"Hey look at me " a intimidating voice brought focus to Elijah's thoughts. A man in black suit was pulling his hair to make Elijah's face straight.Looking at the man in front of him Elijah curses his damn luck.
'Of all people It's kane. shit I'm in torture room. '
Elijah looks at his surrounding. he was in a dark room, there were two more people in the back. The air in the room was suffocating. Elijah now felt cold due to him being wet and the stinging pain from back of his head made it harder for him to think.
"Where is the goods boy" kane asked.
"I don't know" Elijah seriously didn't knew.He was was having hard time swallowing the fact that Alfrey had betrayed him.
'That bastard really betrayed me uh and for what. He just left me to die, can't he atleast do me a favor and not involve me in whatever stupid plan he has'
"Hey hey listen up Elijah is it, The goods your so called friend stole was very important you see, so much important that even boss is in trouble what to do. It came from someone out of our league and we were the ones who were going to deliver it. But your friend brought a calamity for us. What are we gonna do now~"kane said in a excited voice for some reason. 'did he got excited that he is in trouble or is he excited cause he is going to torture someone.'Elijah didn't knew but he knew for sure he's fucked up in his head.
"Well even I can tell you got betrayed by your friend, but the possibility that you both planned it and you got screwed in the end can't be denied. well we are going to have some fun and you will take your time to cough up everything you know okay~" kane smiled widely.
"Now question no.1one, where is alfrey"
"I don't know"
smack
Elijah got punched again.
"Two -did you know what was inside the package"
"no "
smack
Elijah got punched
"Three - Did Alfrey meet someone that he normaly don't or someone fishy"
"I don't know" Elijah once again did not know the answer for Kane's question which earned him punch, only this time on his stomach.
"Question no. 4...."
Kane kept on asking questions but Elijah knew nothing. But it seemed Kane expected that and he was purely doing the process for fun.
After series of Q&A. The session came to a small break. apparently Kane was a busy man and he had other jobs to do. And especially in the current situation where they had to retrieve thier item, Kane being the right hand was obviously going to be busy.
"I'm going to take my leave for now Boy, but don't worry we will continue this tomorrow and you will not be alone, your friend will be to accompany you. After all how long can a rat hide in city that belongs to us. And oh I forgot to mention this was just warm up,the real show is yet to be started. "Kane smiled and pulled a tray full was torture equipment.
" And just so you wont faint how about I give something for you to stay awake"Saying that Kane held Elijah's middle finger of his left hand and broke it.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhh" Elijah screamed, tear falling from his eyes. His middle finger was bent unnaturally. His face was already bloodied by the continues beating he got. And the thought that he was going to go through more torturous things made him despair.
Kane left without saying anymore. But one of the man who was there from the start came to Elijah with a water bottle and poured the contents in Elijah's mouth. Elijah drank greedily although he choked at the end. Before Elijah cound say thanks he felt the man put something in his hand.
"Get out of here Elijah , now is your only time when the security is low. Almost everyone is out searching for alfrey. Escape from here and leave the city and go as far as you can okay. " the man said and without waiting for reply he hurriedly exited and closed the door.
Only then Elijah realised that it was Anne's father. And what he had given was a small blade capable of extending.
'That old man, are you sure your not going to get in trouble for this' Elijah felt thankful and sweet that at least someone was good to him.
Elijah cut his binding's one by one, it was hard as his one finger was broken. It took him considerable amount of time to break free. Then he tried to stand but miserably fell on the ground.
'It God damn hurts' he was feeling pain through out his body. He was already exhausted both mentally and physicaly , Elijah crawled to the door and with its help he stood up. After composing himself he opend the door forcefully and burst out with all his power he could muster. The door was unlocked thanks to Anne's father. But surprisingly no one stood guard.
'That's why he said now is the best time' Elijah guessed that everyone of the mafia were tasked to find alfrey and Alfrey currently had a bounty on his head. If he really didn't have anyone supporting him he was destined to get caught. mafia network was no joke after all.
The torture room was in the basement. Elijah waked up the stairs and up to the ground floor. It was night already and The building was unnatural silent. Normally it would be lot more noisy due to the amount of workers being moving here and there.
'Whatever Alfrey stole was definitely very important for The mafia' Currently a crazy idea was hatching in Elijah's mind. But he shook it and went to the building's backdoor which lead to the alley.
Currently out of bounds he was free but not for long ,he had to decide what to do and fast.
