Chapter 4

Every step made me more aware of my situation and how badly can it end up if we didn't succeed. Attacking them feels so much more intense and dangerous, the fact that it's not only me but everyone will face its conclusions. Down there, the voices were faint but with each step their intensity is increasing, the painful shrieks and wails, the unmistaken sound of a whip biting skin is bringing the adrenaline back and in an instant, my resolve is set, I will not let these bastards get to us.

I inhaled deeply before taking the last step and leaned into the wall, peeking slightly to take in the corridor. The structure Is entirely same as down, a man is sitting at the watchmen chair, a satisfied look on his face. I couldn't see the inside of the room but it isn't hard to guess with the roars of laughter mixed with the painful shrieks of guys.

Sick bastards, they are enjoying hurting them....who knows how long has this been going on for. My fists clenched at my side and white hot anger engulfed me, thinking of hundreds of lives that they have ruined the same ways. I descended a few steps, indicated girls to follow behind quietly. I planned my move as they gathered behind carrying a heel with pointy edge dangling outside to hit.

"One guy is in corridor and about 4 guys inside the room. Stay two steps behind me so you don't get caught halfway. Hear that, they are enjoying themselves by beating the guys, can you let those bastards get away with that, concentrate all your anger in your blows." Without waiting for any response I positioned the knife between my fingers and stormed into the corridor. He saw me just before I plunged the knife deep through his knee in one fluid motion using all my body momentum, blood spilling wildly out of his wound.

I left the knife and faced the fuckers in the room, total three of them, one was standing over Sam holding a belt and the welts on his arm were answer enough, other one is holding Adrian upright with his hair and third is holding a syringe no doubt planning to drug them back into haze.

The shock of what happened passed over them, but the one with belt was looking smugly at me. "Oh,slut...really, that was a first. But I can't say I'm disappointed, I usually enjoy straightening an errant whore like you, and with the stunt you just pulled I think I would have to give you far more attention that others ever got. You bought others? Trying to form an army and attempting an escape, I see..." he grinned at me wickedly.

"Talk all rubbish you want, you aren't alive for long anyway, fucker! Now try to be a man and face me " I sneered.

In an instant his smile vanished and he came charging his belt harshly towards me, I almost dodged the blow, but the end caught the flesh of my back inflicting a groan, but the pain only fuelled my anger. I caught his belt and gave it a jerk, then cross kicked his head, he stumbled slightly and I used that moment to punch his lower abdomen and then banging his head repeatedly in the wall. The others seemed to have recovered and lunged at me, caught my hair and pulled me back hard. The pain blocking my vision. I deliver a kick to his shin and freed my hair. The belt-holding-asshole caught me and attempted to throw me off balance but I gripped his shoulders and gave several sharp strikes on the sensitive area of his neck. I took advantage of his pain and caught him in a headlock, while he withered under me, griping my arms wildly and drawing blood.

I left him when his body went limp, the other one clutching his balls and cussing, after a kick to his nose, he want still too. Alessia chose that moment to plunge the knife into the last one's back who was now backing out and he shrieked laying on the floor while other girls kicked and smacked him. While others cut the ropes and freed the guys, I walked back to the still groaning guy, whose knee I drove knife in.

"I need information regarding the rest three locations." His eyes widened.

"Who are you?"

"Don't you think it's more important to acknowledge what I can do.."

His phone buzzed in his pocket, I pulled it out while he tried to protest. I let the call go to voicemail and faced the screen towards him.

"Password?" I asked.

He shakes his head. " I won't tell you that."

"As you wish" I muttered and gripped the knife and started twisted, He wailed. "I think I should even out the blood in both your legs, shall we try the next one then." He started shaking his head wildly, clutching his knee. I jerked the knife out with force and he shrieked.

Just as I started to bring in down on his other knee, he said. " okay, 5436....5...4..3...6, let me go now."

I dropped the knife down and started to check his messages, after searching for a while, I found them. I grinned at him, muttering thanks.

In one swift move, I lifted the knife and hit his head hard with the back.

He fainted.

"Everyone ready?" I asked while rummaging through this guys clothes to find anything valuable, I pulled a gun from his waistband and tucked it into mine, after cleaning the knife on his shirt I tucked it alongside too.

When I faced them, nearly everyone was staring at me wide eyed. I smiled.

"I know it's all unbelievable but this not the time and location to clear your doubts, now gear up! We've got a last landing to pass. Is everyone here?, look like I said before, we easily outnumber them so this is our chance before they have more men arrive here, keep in groups and be together, I'll be leading. We will take a run for it, be at least 10 steps behind me. Let's leave this goddamn place!" I growled.

Without another glance, I swept out of the room and carefully made my way up the stairs, through the slight gap in the door, I peeked out. It's like a very luxurious hotel with guard sitting at the far end. It's almost like a different world compared to where we were kept. That explains why we couldn't hear the guy at the last landing. Well, it served to their disadvantage.

In one fluid motion, I banged the door open and took a shot at his forearm. The noise drawing others, I kept on moving and shooting anyone I see without a thought, red flashing before my eyes.

I picked the other gun from the guard jacket and kept taking aim, my only motive is to reach the boss of these motherfuckers. It didn't take long to figure out the office as it burst opened and a short guy wearing suit shouted, his eyes conveying annoyance but as he took in the scene, his annoyance turned to shock, then outrageous anger as his eyes found mine.

Without any warning, I took two shots, one on his forearm and other on his left thigh. He wailed in pain, clutching his arm, trembling on the ground. I searched around for anyone left but when I didn't see any, I kneeled next to him.

"How does it feel to be laying on the floor, feeling helpless while someone else holds all the power on you? What does this spilling blood makes you realize? And you know what, this is not the worst, you haven't yet felt the fear of who might enter and use me in what way, you haven't felt the moments when you wish you were dead. And you, do you even have the slightest idea of how many lives you took, how much blood rests on your hands, but looks like money matters far more, I want to make you regret the moment you were born, I want to make you feel helpless and as weak as you make us." I growled, my voice getting higher with each word.

The terror in his eyes satisfied me. The anger inside of me reaching a peak imaging the horror that he bought into others life. I want to end his life but I know I must restrain myself. I clenched my fists, trying to fade some of my anger. When I stood up to face everyone who I knew had been watching me, I was relieved to find anger and hatred as they glared at his trembling form.

I pulled the phone out of his pocket and dialled Daniel.
