He was followed by Sergi Petrov Ivanov with three dogs. The big animals were sleek and well cared for. Long, narrow snouts showed sharp teeth as their lips wrinkled back at me and Kathy.
Each dog had a different coat, one white, the second black and silver, and the third pure black. The dogs stared at me and Kathy as they sat at a sharp command in a language I didn’t know.
I really wanted to vomit.
“How nice to see you,” Edmond said in a conversational tone, sitting down on the bed as if we’d all just met in passing on the street. The little of his Irish accent contrasted with his words.
Sergi silently set up a phone facing me and Kathy. My heart thumped harder in my chest.
Kathy and I were in serious trouble because this man enjoyed hurting people.
“What’s going on?” Kathy said, her voice trembling.
“Ah, a volunteer.” Edmond got up.
No, no, no….
He strolled over to the cage holding Kathy. WIth a practiced move, he opened the door and dragged her out by the hair.
She screamed and struggled as he pulled her toward the wall. I hadn’t noticed the manacles on it until he reached up, pulling one off its hook.
“You’re too old and ugly to fuck, so let's try this instead,” said Edmond, laughter in his voice as he forced her wrists into the shackles.
She tried to kick him and he slapped her. Blood flew as her nose broke and she screamed again.
When she was secure, facing the wall, he undid his belt. Folding his clothing, he laid it on the bed, his cock already half erect as he turned back to her, belt doubled in his hands.
Giving in to cowardice, I covered my eyes. I couldn't block out the sounds or the smells, though. The wire dug into my legs as I knelt, unable to really change position as Edmond beat Kathy until her screams and sobs wound down to tiny hoarse whimpers and moans.
“Don’t worry, your turn will come,” came a soft voice, flavored with a strong Russian accent. “Ah, here comes the ass fucking. Do you think she’ll be able to scream more, or is her voice gone?”
I couldn’t hear Kathy over the wet slapping noises. Sergi kept talking to me, though, and I wished so much I had a gun or a knife so I could kill him. I’d mislaid my mouth right now.
Sarcasm didn’t work well if you were crying and puking when you delivered it.
A grunt, the quiet broken by Kathy’s faint crying. The rustle of clothing being put back on.
“Set the dogs on her.” Edmond sounded bored. “That one has no fight. Then pass it on to Holdt.”
Tears leaked out of my eyes. I couldn’t hold onto my tough face as I listened to the dogs rip Kathy apart. The only mercy was that it was quick.
My cage rattled as someone banged on the top of it.
I looked up, startled, and Edmond Kelly's cold green eyes met mine. They were like pebbles, with no human emotion in them.
“What did you think you would accomplish by coming over here to find my daughter? That idiot of a boy thought he could bring her back to the States, but look where that kind of thinking got him. He’s dead, and I still have her. In fact, she’ll be marrying one of my business associates soon.” He grinned down at me.
“Like you, she is my property. Unlike her, I plan to fuck you long and hard. The look on your master’s face when he realizes I have you and how much he’ll need to pay to get you back used will be hilarious.”
I shivered, not looking at the ruined person hanging from the wall. The dogs lay next to her, watching us alertly.
“I’m so sorry. It’s all a big misunderstanding. I’ll leave the country, and you won’t hear from us again.” I made my voice wobble. It wasn’t at all hard. I sounded like I was begging. That’s what men like him enjoyed the most. They wanted me to beg for my life, and I was willing to play their game if it bought time for me to be found, because then we would kill all of them.
Kathy’s last moments kept running through my head. I didn’t want to die like that.
“Eh, I don’t think so. No idea what he sees in you, but I have pills to get it up if needed.” He shook his head in disgust.
“You’re mine until I get recompensed for my time and effortl. I really don’t want to kill you, but if you don’t make them stop, I’ll let Sergi and his dogs have their way with you.”
