Chapter 40

Jason pov

"Hey, can you please hurry the hell up? We have a job to do" I glance up at Delilah, Whose crossing her arms rather impatiently.

"Relax, D, we are going to burn the truth out of his guy" Martin's eyes drag themself to me with a smile. I took the cigarette that my lips caught, pressing it up against the man's eye.

"Where's the bomb?" I ask him

"He won't be able to hear shit over all that screaming don't you think?" Martin adds- Martin is right this guy is screaming rather loudly.

"Riley, she did assign us to find out where the bomb is...I'm just trying to make sure her dreams come true and this bitch won't tell me" Grabbing ahold of the man's jaw, His lips did the duck face most girls do when they do their makeup.

"Look at me-" I chuckle at my foolishness...he can't see me, both of his eyes are burnt...its once vibrant colors are now replaced with charred blackness. That's sad he couldn't witness my handsome face.

"I'm-I'm not saying shit" The man spat,  some blood- either way, it stained my face and that's something I won't stand for.

"I'm going to kill him" pulling my knife out from my back pocket

"No, No you aren't" Delilah steps up to the man, Does she ever stop wearing suits? Don't get me wrong she looks amazing in them- it's just most girls don't wear suits morning, evening and night. "Listen here pal, This is what you're going to do- you're going to tell us where the hell those bombs are, Am I clear?"

"What she said" I add, She glances back at me giving me a cold glair- " Ooo Scary, I like that" Licking my lips, she rolls her eyes leaning closer to the guy strapped down to his human chair- Well he had a wife...We killed her- well Martin killed her and turned her into a chair.

"Or we are coming for your kids next" She continues her threat, Little does he know we already killed his kids.

"Please...please this isn't you-"

"How the hell are you going to tell me who I am?" Delilah snaps, pulling her head back almost sounding offended " Bitch, You don't know shit about me...But I'll show you once we kill your kids and hang them in a tree 1870 style" She leans closer to that man-

"Tell me what I want to know, Now" She demands
"the-the bomb...it's not finished yet- to start the bomb...there's... there are 3 keys you need to find to locate the bomb-" The man chokes coughing up blood

"And how will these keys help us find the bomb?" She asks

"It's like a puzzle piece...each key has an address if you find all 3 then you get the full address-" The man spoke, his lips dripping with red lipstick.

"How do we know you aren't bullshitting us?" Martin asks "I mean for all we know, You're leading us into certain death...and I don't think I want to die, do you, Delilah? Jason you?" 

"We just have to take that chance, Martin-"  Deliah hisses

"Nah- I don't think I will" He reclears his voice with a soft cough " Where's the first key?" Now the man is refusing to speak, The nerve of this guy am I right?  

"You have a son he's 9, don't you? His name is Tom, But I bet you guys call him Tommy" Martin taunts... The man's body trembles uncontrollably and struggles to keep his composure...It's like that block game shit, what is it called again? Jenga...You know it's going to fall...You see it shaking it wobbling but you keep going. a part of you is dying to see it fall. seeing if this moment will it fall or will it stand- buying time trying hard to escape their fate...but you know it'll happen..it's inevitable

"don't kill my boy!" The man shouts.

"No No, I'm not going to kill him...I ain't a monster...I'm just going to make it so he won't have to squeeze so much while trying to shit"

"Ew," Delilah spoke, with her nose wrinkled and her lips pursed.

"I'll tell you just don't hurt my family!"

"then spit it out already!" Delilah grew rather impatient.

.........................

After he told us, I blew up the house with him and his family inside and we all got back inside the car...

"I'll drive" Martin leaning inside the car and I sat beside him.

"Shouldn't we tell Riley what we know?" Delilah spoke from the backseat, I took out my phone and began texting Riley-

"That's as if our little snitch hadn't already" Martin yanking the phone from my hands. 

"Give me my shit back" reaching for my phone but he wants to play games and not give it to me

" Relax, I've watched porn before...but we aren't telling Riley" He proposes the idea, but that's impossible. she knows everything. even how many times I blinked, even if she didn't, she'll find a way to find out.

"Um, She's our boss...we have to tell her-" He places his finger on her lip silencing her.

"Shh," he whispers, moving his finger. " We'll quickly collect the keys and once we do, she'll be so proud of us and move our ranks up"

"If we don't tell her where we are she might send people out looking for us, it's better if we tell her" Martin and Deliah argue back in forth, I watch as the burning house crumbles into nothing...I killed someone, Many someones...Hundred, thousands, millions of someones and I can't feel a damn thing...My head isn't racing, My heart isn't jumping it isn't seizing...It's just not feeling

"Do you not have a heart?" that's what my father said when he came back from his 'business' trips

"How could you rape your mother" That's what they all said once they found out my mother was pregnant with my child...I was only 14...I couldn't...I couldn't say no.

"Jason, Your awfully quiet" Deliah or Martin hit my arm dragging me from my thoughts " What do you think we should do-"

"You like our boss right? Smith, don't you Deliah?" Martin cut in before I could answer.

"How-" She studders, She sighs shaking out her thoughts " Is it that obvious?"

"Look, If we do this in secret she'll give us higher ranks and you can be closer to him" Martin spoke as if he knows RIley best...She wouldn't do that...

"Fine" Deliah accepts

"Now let's get this key- It's a long drive but it'll be worth it...At the end"
