Fifty-one. My person
Ezekiel arrived at the Alpha Realm at dusk of that day. There was an arrays of secretly armed bodyguard waiting for him at the entrance. The moment he stepped out of the black Rolls Royce phantom, they all fell on their knees in acknowledgement and welcome.
"Alpha Realm welcomes the Boss!", they all chorused on bended knees. Ezekiel looked at them with an expressionless face. Without saying anything, he lifted his legs and walked into the Realm. The entrance was built like the entrance of a cave, with torches of fire hanging on both sides. It was like that of the ancient times.
Camille was waiting for him at that entrance as well with Milky, Suga who was a bald headed man that was ranked after Milky. This was always a topic for the both of them to bicker. Then, Shantel, the man in charge of torture. He was the torture lord as they always called him.
"Boss", Camille called in reverence and bowed. The others followed her and paid their respect. Ezekiel nodded. "Let's go to the eagle's eye", he said. The eagle's eyes was the same with that of the one at the factory. They served tr same purpose. Not many people had knowledge of the eagle's eye except those who were deemed worthy by Ezekiel to know.
"Yes Boss", they chorused and walked behind him.
Soon, they arrived at a room which was lighted with blue bulbs and a big screen that was filled twenty other mini screens. This was used to see all the activities going on in different sections. One could call it the CCTV room but this was a little different as it showed one everything in 3D.
Camille went forward and clicked on a button and so, all the screens were switched off except one. It was the one that showed the room where the doctor was held captive. The doctor was already weary from the torture. One of his eyes was already blinded and he looked disheveled. He was at his wits end.
"He still didn't talk?", Ezekiel asked.
"Yes Boss", Shantel replied. "He's tight lipped".
Ezekiel nodded and looked at Camille. "What's the report on the move from the soul-sucking org?"
"They infiltrated the realm", Camille said.
Ezekiel looked at Kim. "Why didn't I get the report?"
"Boss, they were quite discreet".
"Except Mr Banks, who else infiltrated?"
Camille arched a brow. "Boss...how did you know?"
Ezekiel looked at her expressionlessly. "Is that what you care about?"
"No Boss", she apologized. "Except from Mr Banks, Mr Walter and someone that goes by the name, Madam Pia".
Ezekiel's eyes widened in shock. "What? Pia? Which Pia?"
"We don't know. Cobra hacked into their base and found the people who were working with them".
Ezekiel's eyes turned to slits. What game was being played against him?! Madam Pia? That's the name his brother's wife went by. Is this a coincidence?
"Get me Banks and Walter. Let Madam Pia be. Cobra should look into it more", Ezekiel ordered.
"Yes Boss", Camille said
"I think Neon needs to be warned. Milky and Suga, get this done. I need it done in three days", he stated his voice givyno room for excuses.
Yes Boss ", Milky slurred. Suga rolled his eyes at her bowed his head to Ezekiel. "Yes Boss".
He looked at Shantel. "To the torture room", he said and they left for the torture room.
The doctor's hands were tied above his head with his body hanging from a height. His hair was scattered with blood all over his face. His breath was shallow and he was hanging by a thread. However, he had promised her that he won't say anything. He won't say a word.
Ezekiel was given a seat to sit down when they entered the room. Ezekiel settled himself majestically on the seat and crossed his legs. He looked at the hanging man, condescendingly.
"Still refuse to speak?", he asked in the cold voice that was quite peculiar to him.
"I won't speak. I already gave my loyalty to my client. As a doctor, I should keep things confidential", the doctor said, his voice filled with mockery. He believed that no matter what, Ezekiel wouldn't gain anything from him. So either way, he chose to stay mum.
"I know. I know that you're quite loyal", he said as he undid his wrist watch. He was laid back as he undid it as if the situation at hand wasn't important. "I wouldn't even want my people to be disloyal", he continued as he stood. He handed the wrist watch to Shantel who took it from him respectfully. Kim handed him a pair of black leather gloves which he wore. He sauntered towards the fireplace that was built there.
"Have you been branded?", Ezekiel asked.
"Whatever you do to me, won't work. I won't say anything".
"I know", Ezekiel said and took out the branding iron. He heated it up an walked towards the man.
The man was filled with horror at the sight of the red hot iron the was in his hands. He has already been branded but looking at that iron rod in the hands of that man...
Ezekiel smirked at him. "Don't worry. I'm not branding you for you to say who your client is".
"Then why...?"
Ezekiel didn't say anything and and immediately jammed it on the doctor's skin. A loud cry echoed through the whole room. It was so ear-piercing that itade one's heart shudder in fear. Ezekiel stopped at some point.
"I'm branding you because you touched her. My person".
