Chapter 22:Interrogation

A bucket of water was spilled on Billy who woke up in alarm, he tried to get up but found he couldn't.

Looking at his arms he saw that he was tied tightly to a chair, looking around he saw that he was in an old warehouse, the only lighting was a small lamp in front of him.

"Where..." His mind was dazed and he had a huge headache, unable to remember what had happened or how he got here.

"It looks like Snow White finally woke up" A mocking male voice sounded from behind him and Billy tried to look but it was too dark.

"Who is Snow White?" a little scared and dazed that was the first thing he said.

"....."

"Miss, you seem to have hit him very hard on the head, look at him, it seems that you left him mentally retarded"

"Stop joking Mr. Holmes" this time a female voice sounded in front of him hidden in the dark, reproaching the man in the shadows.

A figure of normal height stepped out of the darkness and was illuminated by the lamp allowing Billy to see it.

"You...." Billy's voice trailed venom, quickly the memories of what happened in the bar came back and he jerked harder trying to free himself from his bonds.

"You don't know how to have fun, miss" a hand was placed on his shoulder and squeezed hard causing him to let out a cry of pain, he was feeling as if his shoulder was about to break.

"Let go of him Mr. Holmes, I'll take care of it" the hand left his shoulder and Billy who was somewhat dazed by pain saw how the same masked man covered with a black windbreaker looked at him for a few moments before going to the woman's side.

Anger began to course through his veins and the hatred with which he looked at this duo increased.

"Do you have any idea who you're dealing with?

The Black Skull is going to hunt you down and feed the dogs your corpses but not before you spend some time with me bitch!!"

Each word was said with great venom and when he finished speaking he took big breaths but this did not affect the figures that remained calm in any way.

The lady calmly approached until she reached the man who always watched the woman's face.

"You were lucky before, if you free me now I can show you the difference..."

"Heh heh" A short laugh cut him off in the middle of his sentence and Billy glared at the so-called Mr. Holmes.

"What are you laughing at you son of a bitch" he roared at the man who completely ignored the question.

"Come on Miss show me what you're capable of."

The Miss now ignoring her partner just looked into Billy's hateful eyes and spoke.

"Where's Joseph"

"You're not being serious," Billy replied mockingly but all he received was a punch to the face.

"Where's Joseph"

"Damn bitch just wait." Another blow hit his face, breaking his lip.

"I won't tell you shit"

"That's fine by me after all..." replied the Miss as she grabbed Billy's hand.

"Wait what are you doing?!" Billy said in alarm when he saw how the woman grabbed one of his fingers.

CRACK

"AAAAAHHHHHHH" the man yelled as the woman broke his finger and then grabbed another.

"...it's only a matter of time before you tell me what I want"

"Fuck you bitch..." he said hatefully as he sweated.

CRACK

"AAAAAAHHHHHHH"

.....

"I must say I'm surprised he hasn't talked yet" Adryan said with surprise as he looked at Billy's condition.

The man had all the fingers on his hands broken including his toes, he was now shirtless showing how sickly thin he was but what stood out the most was multiple burn marks on his chest.

"Won't take much longer" Xio replied as she grabbed Billy's swollen face and made him look at her.

"Where's Joseph"

"Please, I beg you, you don't understand..." the voice of hate and anger that he had before is gone, now only a weak and pleading voice remained.

Xio just sighed and moved to the side grabbing something Billy couldn't quite see.

Returning close to him, Billy could see well what it was, which made his pupils dilate.

"Where is Joseph" Xio's tone was flat and calm but this only scared the man even more.

"I beg you to understand..." Billy said crying as his voice trembled and he tried to free himself with all his might.

Sighing Xio grabbed one of the man's broken fingers which caused him to scream, she had a bolt cutter in her hand and placing his finger inside the blades Xio gave Billy a cold look.

"Where's Joseph"

"Please....." Billy was now crying hard and trying to get his finger away from the blades of the tool but to no avail.

Sighing, Xio just closed the tool, cutting the finger and making the man scream loudly.

"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH" she waited a few moments for him to stop screaming and then she grabbed another finger and when she was about to cut it...

"IWILLTALKIWILLTALKIWILLTALKIWILLTALK" Billy yelled loudly causing Xio to stop and pull the tool away from the man's hand.

With a weak voice he spoke and revealed what he knew best about his leader

"Joseph is a sick man with an obsession with corpses, he enjoys having relations with them to the point that he can't go more than a few hours without being with one...

Man, Woman, Boy, Girl, old man, old woman, he doesn't care what the body is as long as it's dead he's going to use it"

"Where is Joseph" something irritated Xio spoke forcefully making Billy tremble.

In terror Billy began to speak faster and reveal the most important thing he knew.

"He asks me to take bodies to a specific place where he will enjoy them until they smell and change them for fresher ones" the more Billy talked the more he lowered his head.

Lowering the tool Xio grabbed the man's hair and made him look at her.

"Where is that place?"

"It's an abandoned fishing house in the poorest harbor in the East Borough, you shouldn't have a problem finding it, the smell will guide you"

The last thing he said with disgust and Xio nodded.

"I can go now, I swear I won't even say anything ple..." Billy's sentence was cut off because Xio hit him hard with the tool on the head, sinking his skull and killing him.

Looking at the body on the chair, Xio just shook her head as she went back to Adryan.

"We'll get rid of the body and we'll talk about our next move" was the only thing she said before returning to the chair.

'Note to self to never anger Miss Judgment,' Adryan thought with a flat face as he approached Xio who was untying the ropes from Billy's body.

"He was a bastard, an decent part of the deaths of street girls is because he hired them and killed them, that's the least he did,he also....."

"I'm not judging you Miss, I understand what you mean, besides this world is better off without people like Billy and Joseph in it" Adryan interrupted as he untied the right leg.

Xio just kept quiet and continued with her part...
