Chapter 22

*Chapter 22
Secret Safe house, Unknown destination*

**I stared at** Jamie that was tied to a chair. His hands were tied behind him on a chair and his legs were tied to the chair's legs. He had duct tape over his mouth and a headband over his eyes. His head hung down showing he was still unconscious.

When finally, after what felt like hours he twitched his head, starting to wake up. He tried to look around but groaned tiredly. I walked up to him placing my hand on his leg causing him to tense under my touch. I slide my hand up his leg over his chest around his neck and finally placed it on his shoulder.

I walked behind his so that he couldn't see me and I pulled off the headband making him blink at the light hanging above his head in the dark cold basement. He groaned again and said, "You don't know who you are messing with." I chuckled softly in his ear before nipping at his earlobe.

It was dark in the room so I walked to the front of him but stood out of sight in the dark. My heels making a clicking sound against the cement. He tensed again.

"Who are you?" I sighed and the said, "My name is Tatiana but you know me as Tali." He looked confused "Who??"

I sighed again. "Were you to busy staring at my legs tonight to even remember my name?" He tensed before hissing "You!" as I walked into the light. I had one of the biggest grins on my face. "You bitch! Do you know who I am?" I chuckled and run my hand over his shoulder again.

"Jamie Milo, Bad boy, Player, 6'1 in Height. 26 years old. Bachelor from New York, Billionaire since 24 years old. An only child with divorced parents. Mother MIA, father deceased. Oh and let's not forget second in command for Venom. Did I forget something?"

He tensed again before relaxing with an emotionless expressing on his face. "You did your homework. May I know my kidnapper and why I was kidnapped?" I tsk'd my tongue sounding disappointed. "Like I said earlier, I am Tatiana. As for the reason? Well, your boss owes my boss some money. $4 Million to be precise" He shook his head.

"I don't know where Venom is. He's been off the grid for the last month and a half. Only calling on burner phones every week. So even if I wanted to... which by the way I don't, I couldn't tell you where he was."

I sighed again acting sad but inside I was bubbling with excitement. "Well, that's too bad. Dimitri, please bring me that tray." Dimitri pushed a stainless steel tray next to me with all kinds of sharp, pointy and deadly tools on it.

"Well then... Let's hope you don't love or need your fingers anymore."

"Tell me where the fuck he is Jamie?" I asked him punching his jaw. "You can save yourself so much pain if you just tell me." Jamie shook his head. He said nothing shaking his head as he chuckled.

He looked up into my eyes, staring at me with cold dead eyes. "You really think you will scare me? What are you like 16 years old? Come on baby doll!" I chuckled at him.

"Jamie, I'm 18 years old. I just came out of the Souza Baranowski Centre... where I have been for the last 2 years for killing a man in cold blood." He sat silently trying to intermediate me with his stare.

"I am going to use that tray, use everything on it for however long it would take to break you. I will pull out your nails, chop your fingers off after breaking them one by one. Burn you with a blowtorch, shoot out your knee and shoulder caps. I will plunge knives into your legs and more... I will make you scream and I will break you." I looked at my watch.

"And all this in about 7 hours before going to school acting like I didn't just torture a man," I smiled at him sadistically. "And all these guys standing here," -I pointed to everybody else in the room- "Will stand here watching how a girl tortures you until you break... And they will just laugh at you." For a second fear flashed in his eyes before he covered it with a nervous chuckle.

"Go for it," I smiled at him; I could practically smell the fear on him. Nodding at him before replying, "Just remember you had a choice, you could have made this so much less painful." I walked to the tray studying it. "What would be more painful... breaking your fingers and then plucking the nails? Or pluck nails then break fingers? Hmm, I wonder."

I spotted a few beautiful silver daggers. I took 2 of them and walled to Jamie. I put the sharp point on his thigh. I pulled the dagger in the air and plunge down but only acting like I was going to stab him.

He flinched and I chuckled at him. Before he could think twice I stabbed him this time. I took pleasure in his painful scream of pain. I let him wail for a few minutes before stabbing him with the second dagger in his other thigh.

He sucked in another breath and choked on his breath as he hissed in pain. "Where is your boss Jamie? Where is Venom?" He shook his head. "I'm not telling you anything!" I nodded and took out my gun, placing the gun-silencer on it. I aimed at his one knee cap and pulled the trigger, then aiming for the other one and shot again, shooting out both his kneecaps.

Finally, there were tears, as he screamed out in pain. "Jamie? You want to tell me something maybe to make this easier on you?" He shook his head again. "I don't know where Venom is."

I nodded before walking back to the tray and picked a sharp knife, I also picked up the knife sharpener. I walked up to Jamie and squad in front of him sharpening the knife in front of him. When I think the knife is sharp enough Dimitri came and took the sharpener.

"Mickey, come to keep this guy's hand still. Jorge, keep poor Jamie still." Mike and Jorge came over. I placed the knives next to his hand. Jamie stared at the knife in fear. "Oh don't worry Jamie, I'm not going to use that knife on you... yet" He shook his head in fear.

"Please, I don't know where Venom is!" He begged weakly. I take his hand in mine and start to break his fingers. There was a sickening crack and painful scream after ever finger I break. I would wait 15 min before breaking another finger.

I broke all his fingers one by one on his right hand. "Please, please, please. Stop!! I don't know where Venom is. All he said was that he was leaving town." I looked up at Silva. We already knew this but now we have confirmation.

"Come on Jamie, we already knew that. We want to know where he is." I walked up to his other hand. I took his left-hand pinkie in my hand and twisted it in a weird position until I heard the crack. I waited 15 minutes before breaking the next one and repeated the method until all 5 left-hand fingers were broken, leaving him with 10 broken fingers.

"Jamie, we have been doing this for almost 3 hours. Just tell us where Venom is. I make it easy on you and shoot you in the head, relieving you from this pain." Jamie was crying; tears streamed down his face as he hissed and wailed in pain. "For the last time... I don't know where Venom is!"

I sighed at him and rubbed my hands over my legs. "It's a shame you know. I kind of admire your commitment to Venom. But he isn't coming for you, Jamie. When you're dead he will just get someone else in your place and forget about you. He won't mourn the death of his second in command. Don't you think it's time to give up and tell us? Is Venom really worth all this pain?"

Jamie looked away, staring at the dark corner in the room. "I don't know where Venom is. He said he was going out of town." Jamie looked at me.

"I really don't know where he is. But I can wire the money for you... I can give you places to look for him. But-I-Don't-Know-Where-He-Is." Jamie and I had a stare down. He acted strong but I could see the pain in his eyes. I heard Silva's voice in the back.

"Fine, Chase, get a team together while we find places where Venom can be. Mickey, get a computer so Jamie can wire the 4 Million." I stood up and dusted off my hand and walked to the corner as Dimitri and the guys do their jobs.

I looked down at my watch. 05:00 I nodded at the guys as I walked out of the warehouse. On my way, I pass Silva. He nodded at me. "Good job kid, I'm glad you're not out of practice." I nodded while chuckling.

"Silva," I got into the car Dimitri and I drove here and started the car. The car purred to life and I sped back home. When I got home I got into my bed to get a wink of sleep for 2 hours before I had to wake up and go to school.
