Brute
1 has his arms tied up and connected to the bumper of Dan’s car. Brute 2 is
hanging by his arms to a fire escape. I have a bat in my hands and Dan is
sitting in his driver’s seat waiting for my word.
“So
this is how it is going to work,” I say beating the bat in my hands and crossing
from one brute to the next. “I’m going to ask one of you a question and if they
refuse to answer or give me an answer I don’t like, the other will pay,” I say
stopping my pace. “Understood?” I scream.
“Shut
your bloody mouth you whore!” Brute 2 screams.
“Now
what do you know about my sexual track record?” I ask coming close to him with
my bat. “Go Dan!” I scream. I see Brute 2’s eyes wander to Brute 1, as Dan revs
his engine and then spurs a couple feet as Brute 1 drags along the hard
pavement. Dan stops a couple of feet away.
“We’re
going to try this again, got it!” Both Brutes kept quiet this time.
“Who
do you work for?” I spit.
“We
don’t know,” Brute 1 quivers, still in pain from his little ride.
“I
don’t like that answer,” I say. Striding over towards Brute 2, I push the bat
out to take a wide swing and lunge.
“It’s
true!” Brute 2 screams with some blood spilling with his words. “We’ve never
met him.”
“How
do you get your assignments?” I ask.
“He
sends us to them in an envelope through the mail,” Brute 2 answers.
“Where
do they arrive?”
“It’s
a different spot each time,” Brute 2 responds.
“How
do you know where to go?”
“He
calls us,” Brute 1 shares.
“On
what?”
“On
our cellphone from him. He has our number, we don’t have his,” Brute 1 says
“Do
you have the phone with you right now?”
“It’s
in my front right pocket,” Brute 2 says.
I
walk over to him and toss the bat aside. My hand slides into his pocket where I
find two bulges. Only one I need though, and that one was bigger than the
other.
“Dan,”
I yell. He runs out of the car and trots beside me.
“What’s
up?” He asks.
“Has
T.B. taught you any new tricks?”
“Yeah,
why?”
“I
think we may need one?”
Dan
seems to catch on, and takes the phone from my hand. He runs back to the car
and unlocks his gift from T.B. Though I’m sure there are other surprises in
that car T.B. hooked him up with that Dan doesn’t know of yet. As Dan becomes
acquainted with his hook up, I become more acquainted with the Brutes.
“What’s
his name?”
“We
call him Kez,” Brute 1 answers. Brute 2 seems to be having problems with his
other bulge.
“What
does he call himself then?”
“Kez
as well.” Brute 2 looks like he I going to be preoccupied for a while.
“Do
you know why he wanted the flash drive?”
“We’re
not that important in his schemes. He gives us a mission and we accomplish it.
We don’t know why he wanted the flash drive.”
“Do
you have another mission from him?”
“We’re
probably going to die because we didn’t get all the info from that flash drive.”
“I
wish you luck with that,” I say turning from Brute 1. “Dan are we good?” I
scream.
“We’re
good.” He tosses me Brute 2’s phone. It sucks for Brute 2, it seems he was just
getting his bulge situation under control. Until I stuck his second bulge back
in there.
“Here’s
what is going to happen, we’re going to untie Brute 1 from our car and leave,
so good luck with that living thing,” I say. Dan is untying the rope from his
bumper as we speak.
“You
fucking bitch!” Brute 2 shouts! Why do they still think I need a bat or some
sort of instrument to hurt them?
I
walk over and punch him in his nose. “Good luck with that broken nose as well,”
I say strutting over to Dan’s car.
We
leave the Brutes squirming and bleeding in the alley. “So what’s the plan?” Dan
asks.
“Learn
what Brent found out and keep track of this Kez fellow.”
