HER ADVERSITY: Chapter 21 – 30
By Obianke Prosper
Chapter Twenty Seven
AUTHORESS PROSPER POV
Dylan parked the car beside an old and wrenched house which seem to be unkempt and long built.
Weeds surrounded the house and the paintings of the walls was fading, turning into a dirty brown color.
Dylan stepped out of the car but he hesitated to go into the house. He hated dirt a lot but he had to enter, after all he goes in every time so why should he hesitate now?
He sighed and dialed a number.
“Am here now, open the door”.
He ended the call and went closer to the house, when he stood facing the wooden door with many scratches, the door went opened and a rough guy stood before him.
“Master!”.The guy bowed.
“Are the prisoners ready?”.Dylan asked, making his voice sound as strict as possible.
“Yes master, please come in”.The guy said, opening the door widely and Dylan stepped into the dusty living room.
It wasn’t even a living room. It has no chairs, no TV, just blood was spilled on every corner.
The guy and Dylan began walking but stopped when they got to a particular door.
The door was opened, revealing three boys probably in their twenties who were tied to three different chairs.
Blood was dripping from every corner of their naked body and it was obvious they were whipped mercilessly but Dylan didn’t care neither did he pity them. They were bad boys anyways.
“Master!”.The two boys who were standing beside the three bloody boys bowed immediately they caught sight of Dylan.
One of the bloody boys gritted his teeth at Dylan but he was too weak to talk.
“Are this the stupid boys you caught the other day?”.Dylan voice was low.
“Yes master, as you can see, we punished them the way you would like. We are only waiting for you to carry out the final judgment on them”.Caleb, the one who lead Dylan to the room spoked.
“Hmm…”.Dylan breathe out silently. “Bring a seat!”.
He commanded and soon a clean seat was brought to him, he sat on it and stared at the three prisoners who were glaring at him.
“You!”.He turned to the one who gritted his teeth at him. “Tell me, where is your master?”.
He asked but the boy chuckled, flashing his bloody teeth at Dylan.
“You kid! Who do you think you are? You are only a kid, a kid, get that into your dumb brain!”. The boy said as he tried to free himself from the strong rope holding him to the chair.
Dylan didn’t frown at the boy neither did his face go red, he simply said;
“Pete, get me a knife!”.
One of his boys, Pete, handed him a sharp knife and Dylan smirked as he glanced at the knife on his hand.
“Hey, boldie! Stop persuading me to do this the hard way, just tell me his location”.He said to the guy who proved bold earlier.
The guy expression changed.
He was afraid but he wasn’t gonna let it show, after all it will be a shame for a chicken to be afraid of a chick.
“Let me go! I say let me go, you kid! Who the hell do you think you are? Do you think you can march up to my master? You are a kid, yes you are just a kid”.
The boy ranted and everyone in the room was surprised at his boldness, even the other prisoners in the room was gasping at him.
Dylan didn’t waste much time. He stabbed the ranting guy in his neck and his eyes popped out before he drop dead.
The two other prisoners left felt their bodies tense up at the sight of their dead friend.
“What a talkative!”.Dylan frowned and turned to the two other prisoners.
“You!”.He spoke coldly to one of the prisoners who was shaking badly.
“Me?”.The guy asked pointing at himself.
“Yes you. Tell me, where is your master?”.
Okay, that question totally made the guy’s heart beat race. He wasn’t willing to answer that question, he wasn’t ready.
“S…ir, I do…n’t k..now”.His voice was shaken and barely, understandable.
“You don’t know? Gish! What a lie! I guess you haven’t heard the saying that all liars go to hell. So if I kill you….”.Dylan cut himself off as he caress the sides of the knife, just to scare the guy.
“….you will go to hell while your master remains on earth enjoying his life. You don’t want that, do you?”.Dylan added and the guy gave it a thought.
Dylan was right.
If he dies, his master will continue living, his corpse will decay but the boss will never care to find or bury him. So, what was the absence of concealing the truth till death?
Sighing, he reluctantly said. “I will tell you, please don’t kill me, I will tell you”.
His co-prisoner eyed him immediately he spilled the words.
“Traitor! You traitor, are you crazy? Don’t you remember the oath we took when we agreed to be the master’s boys? Do you want to break yours? Damn! You betrayer! You are a disgr…”.The co-prisoner stop speaking when he felt a solid metal in his neck.
Dylan had stabbed him in his neck with a knife!
Blood spilled out from his bursted throat and seconds later, he dropped dead.
The last prisoner who was willing to talk felt tears blind his eyes. All his friends were gone!
“Geez! Talkative…”.Dylan laughed, drawing out the knife from the dead guy’s neck.
“Now, tell me…”.He pointed the knife at the last prisoner. “Where is your master?”
The prisoner felt dumb, his lips were quivering.
“Don’t make me kill you too, as you can see, your friends are dead. They wouldn’t come back to life, they are gone, they were wasted. Don’t be like them!”.Dylan scoffed as a sudden anger clouded him.
“My master, my master…”.The prisoner repeated his words twice, he felt a lump in his throat.
“Speak, you fool! And don’t try to lie to me, trust me, you will not live to tell the story!”.Dylan voiced out and the prisoner forced his lips to move.
“My master live far away from here but since he is searching for you, he keeps traveling. Currently, he is staying in a small town called Ozlum where he is carrying out plans to terminate you. He sent me and my friends to attack you when he got an information that you were in a mall, but before we could attack you, we were caught by your boys”.The guy said and Dylan smirked satisfactory.
He got what he wanted. He heard it right, the man is in Ozlum, a small town.
“Pete, take this guy out of here. Do whatever you want with him but keep him alive, that’s his reward for saying what we wanted to hear”.Dylan ordered and the ropes tied on the guy’s body was loosened before he was dragged out of the room.
“Caleb, dispose of this bodies and get this place cleaned. I don’t wanna see this place looking so bloody the next time I come”.He ordered and Caleb bowed.
“Consider it done, boss!”.Caleb said and Dylan left the room.
Only one thought was on his mind. He was paying a visit to Duncan, who he and his boys nicknamed the old man. He would pay him a visit very soon.
