Rosa's POV

*

Someone handed Gonzalo another black shirt which he changed into, motioning for another man to specifically hand the shirt he'd just taken off over to me.

"You know Ray, there are places where people like you belong. They belong in the deepest parts of the underworld where they won't be able to meet with any sane person, you know? I planned on handing you over to the drillers. But, maybe I'll think of some more interesting places. What do you say?"

Ray's eyes narrowed. "The drillers? They won't get anything from me."

His words seemed to have been funny to Gonzalo because Gonzalo gave a hearty laugh. "They're not supposed to get anything from you Ray, that's where you have it all wrong. They're giving you something in return."

Ray looked down and didn't say anything.

"I handed my sweet cousin over to them. When they were done with him, even when they got to only thirty percent, he had a lot to say."

Was he talking about Brent?

Brent was the only cousin I knew Gonzalo had who was dealt with recently. That mean he was talking about Brent and the gay assault thingy.

I shuddered a little and tried not to think of what Brent must've faced in the hands of that large man...or men.

Gonzalo walked over a table that contained several black bags. He opened one and started humming a song, whistling some parts.

"This should do." He said to himself and picked a weird kind of plier that had two sharp sides. Then he picked a light blue long lighter and tucked it into his jeans back pocket.

Ray just kept looking down as if he had no business with what was happening.

"Lift him higher." Gonzalo ordered and someone entered a key into the device of whatever was controlling the chains used to hold Ray so he was raised up in the air.

I could see psycho Ray raising his head up to narrow his eyes at Gonzalo.

Gonzalo kept humming his song as he walked back to the man hanging in the air due to the chain restraints.

I on the other hand, noticed that someone was staring intently at me and I looked sideways to see Jim doing so.

I raised a questioning brow but he shook his head and came to crouch beside me.

"Would you like me to pour you the drink, boss lady?"

I mentally rolled my eyes at what he just called me. "No, thanks."

He nodded and returned to where he was standing.

Gonzalo picked Ray's left feet.

"Have they been washed?" He asked.

"Yes sir." Jim responded.

"Good. I don't want any toe nail stench disturbing my nostril." He laughed.

I held my breath and wondered what he was going to do next.

He captured Ray's little toe and clipped it with the plier and Ray grunted.

"Still being adamant? You leave me no choice Ray." And with that, he cut off the little toe.

Ray grunted but didn't open his mouth to scream. Gonzalo chuckled as he looked up at Ray, whose eyes were wide. The veins in Ray's head were visibly tensed and popping at the sudden pain he must be feeling.
