I followed her to the bathroom to run her bath before heading back to the kitchen where my men were keeping Jason company.
Someone had found him some fresh clothes, which reminded me, the kid needed to go shopping. Gage was kneeling next to him whispering. I’m sure the horror of what he’d done was now catching up to him. I’ll deal with that later, time to put an end to this fuckery.
“Jason I’m leaving you in charge of my wife I need you to stay here and make sure she’s okay; can you do that?” His chest puffed up just a bit and I saw a little of the cocky kid I’d met only a short while ago. “I can do that.”
“Good I think there was talk of junk food in your future get to it. By the way you went hunting deer to work off some steam.” He smirked at me before getting up to leave. His shoulders were slumped again by the time he reached the door. With my head in my hand I gave myself a minute to get my shit together. “Let’s go end this.”
I sat in the back of the limo almost dead inside, I’d turned off my emotions. Blossom had been a little less withdrawn by the time we left mostly because she had Jason to fuss over, but I’d essentially left two wounded kids to look after each other. Fuck me.
We pulled up to yet another out of the way warehouse, this time one of my own. It was dark out as the car drew to a stop and I got out. Gage and the others got out of their ride and came to join me. “Let’s go.” There was no point in standing around rehashing shit we all knew why we were here.
Inside the building I came up short at what I saw. The two men were sitting side by side strapped to chairs with their mouths taped shut. It wasn’t that that had stopped me in my tracks but the way they were strapped from chest to ankles in what looked like yards of chain. What the fuck?
Without preamble I ripped the tape off of first one then the other. “Hello senator, I’m sure you know who I am.” He glared around the room like a mad dog while the doctor looked like he was scared as fuck.
“Do you know who I am boy?”
“Unfortunately I do, I’ve had the displeasure for the past few weeks of wading through your filth. I have the children you sold away into captivity by the way. By the end of tomorrow the whole world is going to know what you are not to worry.”
He struggled against his restraints and swore a blue streak. Demented fuck. I stood back and let him tire his old ass out. Funny, up close he didn’t look like either of his personas. Not the great senator, nor the axis of evil. Instead he looked like a sixty five year old degenerate down on his luck.
“I’m not afraid of you, you can’t touch me; what I am is bigger than you and the idiot masses.”
“Oh really, I’ve been wondering about that. Tell me senator, if you have the power to turn Starks into an animal of the night why are you and your sidekick trussed up like two old bitches in my warehouse? What, you ran out of powers?”
“I’m not a fucking dog, you think I did all this so I could run around in the woods smelling my own ass?”
“Actually I have no idea what it is that you were trying to do. Why don’t you fill me in since you’ve got nothing more pressing at the moment? If you didn’t want to turn yourself into an animal exactly what is it that you were after?”
“I wanted eternal life.” His eyes moved around the room like a feral cat ready to pounce. Maybe that’s why the guys had used so many chains to bind these two. They were both bat shit crazy.
“Ahh, every megalomaniac’s wet dream, you wanted to play God.”
“I am a god.”
“Oh yeah, which one?”
“The one.” He all but bellowed.
“Yeah? So was Ahura-Mazda but we haven’t heard fuck all from him in centuries.”
“You dare?” Now he’s frothing at the mouth, this is like a bad as fuck B movie. I’m expecting the crazy fuck doll to come out of the woodwork any minute now.
“So tell me oh great one; how was it so easy for my men to get the drop on you and bring you here? Doesn’t your power protect you from mere mortals? And why didn’t your powers help you find what you were looking for in my house you fuck?” He glared at my men again.
“Uh boss, we uh…after reading that shit we found in Starks’ diary we thought it best to take certain measures.” Gage looked embarrassed by his admission.
