The judge pales. “You know who’s running this?” he asks, his voice trembling. “Then you’ll know that he’s untouchable.”
I laugh. “No one is untouchable. Not even you.”
“Marco will kill me,” he cries. “I can’t.”
Stephen nods to me, and I reach for Monica’s hair. “You either tell us where we can find that bastard, or Monica will end up the same way as Sarah. Then you’ll have no one.”
It doesn’t matter. The fucker is going to die, and I know that whatever Stephen has planned, it’s going to be fucking painful.
“I-I-I c-c-can’t,” he stammers. “P-p-please,” he begs.
I end Monica’s suffering with my blade sliding along her throat. Killing someone this way is easy. It takes less than two minutes to do the deed and for the victim to die.
The judge starts to sob, his body trembling as the girls that he groomed are gone.
“Your wife is next,” Stephen hisses. “So we’ll ask you again. Where is Marco?”
Elio and Kelvin’s cells start to ring, and the air goes static as we wait for confirmation on whether or not they’ve found the women. They answer their cells and both men nod. Relief hits every fucking one of us. The women are found, they’re safe. Now it’s time to find that cunt Marco and end this shit once and for all.
“Marco,” Stephen snarls. “Where is he?”
The judge shakes his head. “I don’t know. I only met him at the hotel. I do not know where he lives.”
Rocco steps up. “I’m sorry, Mrs. Lachan,” he says to the sweet lady.
“It’s okay. I’d rather be dead than have to look at his face anymore. He’s an animal. A monster. I hate you, Dell. I hope these men hurt you,” she cries. “What you did to those poor girls—” She shakes her head. “I hate you,” she hisses at him.
Rocco makes her death quick. There was no way she would have been able to carry on after finding out what type of man her husband was. She was a wreck. Completely broken from the revelations. She just sat there and wept.
“No,” the judge weeps. “No, not my Suzette.”
God, he’s a bastard. He deserves everything he’s got coming to him.
“I say we leave him here,” I announce. “Let him look at the bodies of the women he fucked over. When we find Marco, we’ll come back and finish the job.”
Stephen grins at me. “I heard you were crazy. I like that idea. This fucker caused these women pain. He’d have taken another young girl too. He deserves everything he gets.”
The judge’s screams of pain and heartache can be heard as we leave the warehouse.
We’re almost there. Now we just have to find Marco.
TWENTY-NINE
PORTIA
“Are you sure you won’t come with us?” Teagan asks for the third time. “You need sleep, Portia. There’s no point working your ass off if you’re not fully rested.”
“Once I’ve done all of this, I’ll sleep. I promise,” I assure her. I’m too focused on the task at hand. There’s no way I could leave, not now, not yet. I need to find all the people who could be part of this trafficking ring. If we can do that, then maybe we can find out where they’re hiding them.
There are over a hundred women, so wherever it is, it must be big enough to house them. But what could be that big?
“I don’t like leaving you alone,” Teagan whispers.
I give her a smile. “I’m not alone. I have a knife, a gun, and I have both Amadeo and Robert here. So go, get some sleep, and I’ll see you in the morning.” I turn to Jade. “I know you’ve been in her ear,” I say, not happy about that in the slightest. “I’m capable of taking care of myself, as are you, Jade, so don’t make her fret when there’s no need.”
Jade crosses her arms over her chest and glares at me. “We’re worried about you. You’re burning yourself out. When was the last time you had a proper night's sleep?”
“Last night,” I answer honestly. “I’m well rested and I’m waiting for Dario.” He’s busy with his brothers, and I know he would want me to stay where his men are and not leave. Until I hear otherwise, I’m staying here.
