“We have time for whatever I wish, boy. Diego is not here to listen to your sniveling. You follow my orders.”
Jose tightened his grip on Maggie’s face as she finally whimpered with the pain.
His teeth flashed within the expanse of scarred, dark flesh as he chuckled at the sound.
“She’s a strong woman. Women such as this, they fight the drug Diego created. They are enjoyable little tramps once they succumb, both fighting and pleading for the agony to come.”
Maggie shuddered at the threat as Jose released her face and stared back at her sneeringly.
“I think I will let our Agent Merino live,” he sighed. “After I relieve him of the package it would appear he has dropped.”
Breathing harshly, Maggie turned her head to the side, seeing the shadowed form of Joe standing tall, his hands raised behind his head as one of Jose’s men stood behind him. The package was no place to be found.
“Let her go.” He nodded to Maggie. “She has nothing to do with this.”
“She has much to do with this.” Jose ran the backs of his fingers over her cheek as she jerked back in r
esponse. He chuckled a second before backhanding her. “Grant made certain he teased us often with tales of what a cold little wife he had. I do so enjoy breaking in such women. Frigid little bitches who think their bodies are too good for a little rough, sweaty sex.”
The pain ripped through her mind as the blow blinded her, nearly tearing her neck from her shoulders with the force of it. Sagging against the man holding her, Maggie fought to catch her breath as she heard the rough laughter that echoed around her.
“I will take Señora Samuels with me,” Jose stated then. “The videos make us much money. She will bring quite a price from those viewers who enjoy watching the battle between the needs of the flesh and the denials of the mind. I will take her in payment for my trouble.”
“Then you can forget the package.”
Maggie’s eyes widened as Jose’s gun came up to her head.
“I can kill her now.”
“Same deal. I know where the package is, you don’t.”
“I will find it once you are both dead,” Jose snarled furiously. “I do not need you to find the package.”
Joe glanced around the shadowed garage before turning back to Jose, his lips kicking into a grin. “Good luck.”
A tense silence filled the garage as Jose’s and Joe’s eyes met in a battle of wills. Moments later, Jose bent, the hiss of a knife sliding from an ankle sheath sliding over Maggie’s nerve endings like a serpent’s warning.
As he rose he turned to Maggie once again, his hand lifting until the blade touched her skin. “How long would you last, my friend, as I began slicing her open, inch by inch? Her beautiful face.” The knife slid down her jaw. “Or these pretty breasts.” It moved to her breasts as Maggie fought to shrink back. “It would be a shame to destroy such beauty, Agent Merino.”
Maggie fought to make out Joe’s expression, to see through the dim light provided by the flashlight Jose had aimed more at the floor rather than Joe. It left Joe’s expression in shadow to her, though she was certain Jose had the required light to watch it closely.
She shook her head slowly as Joe watched her. It wasn’t worth it. The Fuentes gang would continue to kill, to rape, and to maim if they were allowed to go free. But could she bear the pain Jose could deal her? She was horribly afraid she couldn’t.
“Decide now, Merino.” The blade pressed into the upper portion of her breasts, pricking the flesh. “There is no time left.”
In more ways than one.
As Maggie’s gasp tore from her throat, light flared in the garage, brilliant and intense as sirens began to blast through the interior. Maggie felt someone’s rough hands jerking her away to the side as the feel of the blade biting into her flesh had her crying out in shock.
“Stay down.”
She heard Joe’s fierce order at her ear as she was dragged to the other side of his precious car, the sound of bullets pinging around it sending a flash of dread through her chest.
“Sons of bitches,” Joe yelled. “Be careful of my fucking car!”
The garage doors flew open as Maggie’s eyes adjusted to the light, the sight of black-clad figures pouring into the interior sending jubilation rushing through her.
Within seconds it was over. Maggie rolled to her back, staring up at Joe as he leaned over her, his lips curving into a smile as she watched him in surprise.
