"We could leave you here." Chloe's voice came out of the dark. "But the only thing they'd find is a matched set of dead bodies. Fortunately for you, you're still useful to us."

"If you think we're going to come quietly, you're wrong," Parker said.

"Parker is right," I said. "When we come, we do it loud enough that everyone knows."

"No one wants to think about you coming," Zachary said.

"I do," Parker said. "I'd much rather think about that than being stuck here."

"I'm starting to think we should have taken out their tongues the last time they were knocked out," Chloe said.

"We're glad you didn't; Lila likes our tongues," Parker said.

"Then shut the fuck and you might get to keep them," she snarled.

Parker glanced sidelong at me. "She's not very nice, is she? She pretends she is, but then when you get to know her, she's really not."

"I've noticed that," I said.

"Enough," she snapped. "Zachary, Dane."

I didn't realise Mr D was here too. I squinted at a dark shape in the shadows. He'd stayed back until now.

"Now we have a party," Parker said. He reeled back as Zachary slammed his fist into his face. Parker's head bounced off the wall behind him. He let out a short cry of pain.

Dane grabbed his arm and held it while Zachary jabbed a syringe. He slid the needle into Parker's vein and depressed the plunger.

Parker tried to jerk away, but they held him down hard until his body sagged. They lowered him onto the floor where he lay still, his breathing shallow.

They rose and stepped over to me. Zachary pulled out another syringe.

"We can do this the hard way or the easy way," Dane said. His expression was ice cold, with a faint aura of triumph. He always was a motherfucker.

"I choose C, neither of the above," I replied lightly. "Also, I'm reporting you to the Board of Education, because I'm pretty sure there's laws against drugging your students."

He laughed. "There are also laws against killing teachers. Who do you think will get in more trouble?"

"The one doesn't have a rich family to bail him out." I gave him a smug smile.

He might have forgotten the DiMarco family was sorely lacking in power and influence these days. Exactly why he hooked up with Chloe in the first place. He was desperate to get back on top, literally and figuratively.

There was nothing worse than someone who was desperate as well as ambitious. If I was him, I would have gone crawling to Ric DiMarco. His cousin was having more success than he was. Whatever, I didn't really give a shit.

I didn't see Dane move until his fist landed on the side of my face. He connected so hard he drove me back with a grunt of pain. Only dropping my head at the last second stopped me from slamming it into the wall.

He drove his booted foot into my ribs a couple of times for good measure before grabbing my wrist and holding my arm out for Zachary.

Yeah, Dane was going to die after that. A bit of witty banter was one thing, punching and kicking a guy when he was chained up was another.

Zachary drove the needle into my vein. Before he pushed down the plunger he crouched with his mouth next to my ear.

"I just want you to know I'm having a lot of fun with Lila. She totally believes that I'm on her side now. She couldn't spread her legs fast enough for me. No wonder she didn't notice you were missing, she was too busy coming around my cock."

"You're a delusional prick," I spat. There was no way Lila would fuck that asshole. Would she? I didn't want to believe it, but if he somehow managed to convince her he was innocent, maybe charmed his way into her pussy as well.

“Maybe, but we have something in mind for her. She’s going to love every minute of it.” He chuckled.

“If you touch a hair on her head…” I slurred.
