The sound of the iron rod dragging on the floor fell on the man's ears and he flinched so hard that his ribcage started hurting. It is not very wrong to say that he is counting his last minutes and taking his last breaths, his heart is pounding quickly. What's more for him now? What's more for him?
"You don't look half-amused." The woman says as she kicks open the metal door. The cell is dark and the man is hung by the wall. His hands are cuffed above his head. He slowly looks up, in the direction of the voice and is finally amused when he sees the face that belongs to that voice. His eyes are bloodshot, maybe because of the torture that he has gone through or maybe because he is just surprised to look at her face.
This is a surprising situation to be in, for sure.
"Tell me, are you amused?" The woman asks and lightly hits her iron rod on the floor, right beside the place where the knees of the man rest. The man flinched hard and gulped. The sensation in his body made him shut his eyes.
"Pericolosa" The man finally opened his mouth after what looked like ages had passed. The woman gives a half-smirk as she pounds the iron rod against the floor repeatedly.
The voice from the collision makes the man anxious and now he is more afraid to look the woman in the eye. He is shivering but what can he do now, he is already half-dead, his head hurts and his knees are the colour of blood. His hair is all sticky because of the blood that has come out of his skull. The cell smells like a place where dead bodies are thrown until they decompose themselves or become a portion of food for insects.
"You know me." The woman stops pounding the rod on the floor and rests it on her shoulder. The man looks up and slightly nods his head. The woman laughed. The man is afraid to look at her laughing because he feels like it is sacred scenery not made for him to look at.
"If you know me then you know that it's time for you to die." The woman tilts her head and looks at the man. For a second, there is sympathy in her eyes but the man is too naive to notice it, this feeling only comes to noble people and Pericolosa, as the man recalls her, is not a good woman. She is not someone who will show sympathy to the man she is about to kill or better, she has already killed him by torturing him for the last ten days.
Pericolosa lifts up the iron rod and now the man has hung his head low. He knows that he is about to get killed and there is nothing he can do now.
There is nothing he can do now? The man thinks about how he was living his life just ten days ago with his wife and his only child. Pericolosa finally gives a blow to the man's head and the blood drips to the floor right on the man's knees. The pain is too much for the man to handle and he closes his eyes. Not one scream escapes the man's mouth because all of his voice is exhausted.
Pericolosa sighed and went for the second blow which hit the man harder than before but he was dead enough to not scream. She is a savage which means that she doesn't have feelings, the man does not know much about Pericolosa but he has heard his buddy talk about her like she is some kind of maniac who is the reincarnation of the devil.
The man feels like he is under some kind of spell because in his last moments, he is sitting there getting blows after blows from an iron rod but he is still thinking about the person who is giving him these blows. This isn't right. He must be spellbound because he should be thinking about his wife and his child but he, for some reason, cannot recall them right now. What is wrong with him? He thinks watching his blood dripping from his forehead.
The floor is now a pool of blood. Pericolosa rested her iron rod on the floor and sighed. The man is heavily injured but he is resisting to scream or yell for help. Pericolosa gritted her teeth and using the bloody iron rod, she brought the chin of the man up so that he could face her.
"You refuse to give out the name." She looked at the man and jerked his face using the rod. Few droplets of blood are thrown toward Pericolosa and she lets out an irritated breath. "Why?" She says as wiped away the droplets that formed on her leather pants.
The man pulled his lips under his teeth to avoid speaking. The woman is angry and she pushes the iron rod into the mouth of the man. Finally, the man jerked his face away. This was the first reaction that Pericolosa has managed out of the man in this 20-minute session of her torturing him endlessly with an iron rod. Pericolosa seemed satisfied.
"Doesn't matter, we got the information anyway." She says like a proud lady. The man is surprised to hear her. "Let me go." The man now speaks in full sentences and this makes Pericolosa laugh again.
"Don't wish for something that you cannot achieve. You have seen Pericolosa and now it's time that you die but before you die, I need to tell you something." Pericolosa stops and rests her iron rod on the man's shoulder, "Your wife and your child will be here tomorrow, do you think ten days of my time can be made up with just your death?"
The man immediately looked up and tried to jerk his hands off the cuff. The cuff has left red circles on the man's wrist. The man is struggling like a fish outside of the water. Pericolosa is watching him struggle and it makes her happy, she is happy.
"Pericolosa." A voice calls from outside the cell and the woman looks at the voice. "David is looking for you," The man who seems like a guard of the cell says.
Pericolosa gives a weird look to the guard and he bows his head down like he has performed a crime and he will be shot down right now. "It is the company's CEO, he is here." The guard finishes the message.
Pericolosa waves her hand at the guard to which he immediately turns and returns to the dark aisle from where he came.
"Not my wife and child, please. Leave my family out of it." The man now screams when he is unable to free himself. Pericolosa takes out a gun from the back pocket of her pants and looks at the trigger and then back at the man.
"Kill me but not my wife, please. I'll do as you say, Pericolosa."
The man is killed the next second when there is a sound of the bullets firing.
Pericolosa walks back towards the aisle where Tony is standing by his back on the wall. Pericolosa gives him a look and Tony understands her right away. "Why do you always do that?' Tony asks after he calls the guards to clean the cell and send the body of the man to his family for the last rituals.
"Do what?" Pericolosa pretends to be unaware of Tony's questions as they walk toward the office where David is seated with the CEO.
"Tell them that you are also killing their family when you don't ever do that?" Tony has been trying to figure out Pericolosa since they were 4 but he has not succeeded, Not yet.
Pericolosa shrugs, "It is fun to see them come alive right before they are about to die."
