Naria answered by spitting on Sage’s boot.
Sage was about to kick the woman when Dante grabbed her arm. “Don’t.”
Sonny bent down and shoved his knife in Naria’s face. “Do you know who I am?”
Naria looked up at him defiantly and nodded.
“Good. Then you know what’s about to come next. I’m giving you three seconds to speak or I’m going to cut off one of your precious body parts,” Sonny commanded.
Silence filled the room.
“One. Two. Three—”
“Wait! I’ll talk, okay. I’ll talk, but only if I get somethin’ in return,” Naria hissed.
Sonny moved, so quick that Sage barely had time to register the fact that he grabbed Naria’s hand and twisted it violently.
Then there was nothing but shrill screams that filled the air.
When Sonny stepped aside, Sage saw what he held in his hand.
He’d cut off one of Naria’s fingers.
Sage turned and gagged, heading for the corner of the room to throw up.
There was nothing in her stomach at this point but bile.
Sage felt a hand at her back as she leaned over. Dante’s hand. She waved him off.
Then a bottle of water was shoved in her face, and she gratefully took it, swishing the water in her mouth and spitting it out.
What was going on? Had she really just witnessed that?
And what did that make her? She finally looked up and her gaze met Dante’s. She knew that it was too late to turn back.
She’d known all along that justice for her sister would not come easy. But Sage didn’t realize it could be this hard.
Like anytime she felt her determination waver, she remembered why she was here.
Standing up slowly, she took another sip of water and swallowed.
Then she turned to face the bloody scene in front of her.
“You’re not in a position to negotiate, bitch,” Sonny barked at Naria and all the hair on Sage’s body stood on end. “You tell us everything you know about Padraig and his crew or I’m gonna continue to work on you, one body part at a time, you hear? The only question you need to ask yourself right now is, do I want my end to be quick or painful? Your choice.”
There was a choked sob and then Naria nodded, tears running down her face. Her skin turned ashy as she stared at the blood pooling beneath her.
“P-Padraig has a stake in the strip club and I’m one of the regulars at their parties. Last year, he showed me a picture of Cam.” Naria motioned to Cameron with her head. “Told me to fuck him and get a-any info I could. He’s a g-government rat and he could be useful. I knew if Padraig could see I would do anything for him, he would dump his woman and want me as his ol’ lady.”
Naria was panting hard, tears still pouring down her face. “Well, h-he did get rid of her. She was dragged out of the club after that fight, like Cam said, and n-never returned. Padraig didn’t say nothing, just that she was gone and wouldn’t be back.”
“Who dragged her out of the club?” Sage asked.
Sonny turned and gave her an icy scowl for interrupting.
“Raven and Cash. B-but they returned a short time later. I overheard them talking in the private room. They told Padraig that they dumped her at the l-lockdown site and called in a marker and that person would… take care of her.”
“And you took over as his ol’ lady.”
