Chapter 35: The beast in him

"Xavier we got one of Magnus's men," Lucas said over the phone.

"Don't do anything until I get there" Xavier muttered, satisfied. Finally, He was close to getting Magnus once and for all.

He had earlier planned on going to a bar, but switched plans and made his way to the warehouse instead.

******
"Bring him here" Xavier ordered firmly, raising the sleeve of his shirt to his elbow

It was a struggle, but his men were able to bundle the virile blonde man and placed him in front of Xavier. He had a tough stare on his face, but Xavier knew it won't take long before he gave him everything he needed.

Xavier yanked him by the collar while he continued glaring at Xavier. "Where's your boss?"

The blonde guy smirked at Xavier. "I'm afraid I don't know. It could be because your boys hit me so hard in the head" he said with peering eyes all to make Xavier mad.

What he didn't know was Xavier was a beast when it came to things like this.

Xavier gave off a slight chuckle, and Lucas followed. The two of them laughed, confusing the blonde man "Strap him on the chair"Xavier ordered.

The blonde man, Justin, punched one of Xavier's men who attempted to seat him down on the chair. He violently attacked the second one too. This agitated Xavier and he kicked him from behind, sending him to the floor. He didn't stop there. He grabbed Justin by his hair, repeatedly banging his head on the hard floor.

When he was sure Justin had learned a lesson he stood up breathless. "why the fuck did you not put a chain on him?" Xavier barked at Lucas. He turned to his men who stood there doing nothing. "Fucking strap him already!" he shouted angrily at them.

Justin was overpowered and was finally bound to the chair. He still had that grimace on his face, giving Xavier the assumption that he still had a decisive will to protect his master Magnus, but not for long. All he needed to do was break him and he would spill every secret about his boss's whereabouts.

Xavier walked towards him and stooped to his level. "Now before we start, I don't like spitters. Keep your fluids to your self" he warned, pointing a gun underneath his throat, but Justin didn't budge.

"Where is your boss?"

"I already told you," Justin said in a whisper, biting the corner of his lips.

Xavier stood up. "I thought so" he left for a while and soon returned with a hammer. He noticed how slight fear clouded Justin's eyes, but with one blink, it was gone. "You have one more chance to tell me where your boss is" Xavier spoke in a deadly tone.

"I don't know" Justin said firmly, gritting his teeth, prepared to take any pain Xavier was willing to inflict.

Xavier wasted no time. He raised the hammer and brought it down forceful on Justin's pinkie finger, causing him to scream in pain

"Ahhhhhhhh fuck you! Fucking Callum" he cursed out in pain.

Xavier chuckled. "I didn't know you could scream this loud. You know I can make you scream louder than that if you continue making things harder for the both of us" he grabbed Justin forcefully by the hair. "Where is your boss!"

" Why don't you just fucking kill me" Justin smirked amidst the pain which only pissed Xavier off.

"oh I will, but not yet" He used the head on the hammer to press hard against the injury which bled profusely.

"Ahhhhhhh" Justin screamed out.

"Where is your boss!" Xavier screamed at him still not raising the hammer to relieve him of the pain. "He can't bloody save you here. This is my warehouse not his"

he removed the hammer from the injury, leaving him to catch his breath.

Justin gave off an annoying smile. "Why did you stop, I was just starting to enjoy myself" he said. This made Xavier punch him forcefully in the face, giving rise to blood.

"Where is Magnus!" Xavier yelled in his face which had a bit of blood on it.

"I told you I don't know"

Xavier brought out a pocket knife from his trousers and wiggled it in front of Justin." How would you like never to hold a gun in your life" he asked with a mischievous grin on his face.

Even Justin was confused.

"I'll take down every of your finger for every wrong answer" he spoke casually but meant it. "Now, where is your boss?"

By now, fear could be seen on Justin's face. His tough guy act was all gone without him even realizing it. "I honestly don't know. I swear...."

Xavier didn't let him finish as he forcefully grabbed his thumb, twisting it to the back. It snapped, causing Justin to yell out in pain, but Xavier didn't stop there. He held out the broken thumb and slowly began to bring the knife closer.

"Wait" Justin called out as bits of sweat fell from his forehead. "He isn't in San Diego. He left a few hours ago"

Xavier pointed the knife at his neck. "where did he go?"

"Florida" he spoke shakily and Xavier nodded, getting up from where he stooped.

"Please don't kill me" Justin begged in an unstable tone.

Xavier snickered. "No more tough guy?" He collected the gun from Lucas who stood at the side. "Don't worry I......" He shot before even completing the statement. After shooting Justin repeatedly about five times, he spoke again. "Won't kill you" he added with a smirk on his face.

He turned to Lucas. "Dispose the body and have the men already in Florida track Magnus. I want him found in 24 hours" he instructed and Lucas nodded.

"Did you take down the warehouse as I instructed?"

"Not yet"

"And what is that," Xavier asked with squinted confused eyes. "I wasn't bluffing when I said I want that building down"

"I know" Lucas mumbled

"Then get it over with already," he said to Lucas and tapped him on the shoulder before leaving the warehouse. The smell of blood in there made it harder for him to breathe.

Just when he was about to enter his car, his phone rang and he picked it up.

"Hello," the unfamiliar voice said at the other end.

"Who is this?"

"Am I speaking with Xavier Callum?" The caller asked.

Xavier was hesitant at first but he finally spoke. "Yes, what do you want?"

"Ok, this is Doctor Parker. Your father just woke up and demands to see you"

Xavier froze abruptly.
