Circuit of Evil [Formula 1]

28 The serpent

Lando has fallen asleep during the drive while Max had the most adventurous conversations with the driver about his F1 career. I looked at Dean who had his eyes open and was sucking on his little thumb. Dean started smiling and pointing at Max. We arrived at the prison in the middle of town. The driver opened the door for us, and we got out. 'So where's the lawyer?' Lando said irritatedly. At that moment a black mustang came drifting around the corner and pulled into a parking spot. It braked violently allowing smoke to come off it's tires.

Max held his hands in his waist as he checked the car out with his eyes. The driver got out wearing some sunglasses and carrying a suitcase. He took off his sunglasses and then walked over to us. 'Micheal Van Aanholt.' He greeted. 'Nice crowd killer.' Lando replied as he pointed at the car. Micheal looked over his shoulder and then back at Lando. 'You want me to help you with keeping your child?' He threatened. Lando surrendered by showing Micheal his hands. Micheal grunted. 'Oh well.' He said as he put his glasses in his pocket. 'You must earn a lot.' Max said still looking at the car. 'Yes of course. I do it all for the money.' He replied. I saw a bruise on his face. 'What happened?' I asked motioning at his face. 'Oh this, I got into a pretty lame bar fight last night. But I wasn't drunk that can I assure you.'

Micheal entered the building and told the prison guard he needed to discuss the strategy with the clients before entering. He then returned to us in the waiting room. 'Okay so, Manuel only want to see Dean and Madeline. I'll be with them during the whole entire conversation.' He explained he then started telling me what I shouldn't say and what I should. When he was finished he followed us through the security. Dean yawned in my arms. The guard led us to a room. With a table in the middle. It felt like being in a movie. I sat down onto a crotch with Dean still in my arms. While Micheal took a seat next to me. He grabbed my hand as he tried to calm me.
'He will not get near you. They make sure he's tight up.' He said calmly and then pointed at the iron ring at the opposite side. When the doors opened my heart froze. And the guards locked him up. His hands were in front of him. With a short chain attached to the table. The room went silent when the guards left us.

'I thought you'd come alone? That's your new boyfriend or something?' He then said to me.
'No he's my lawyer.' I replied.

Michael's POV
I could feel Maddy's nervousness, she couldn't stay still she kept Dean tightly against her body. While Manuel spoke. 'A lawyer?' He questioned.
'Yes.' She said coldly. 'I will do anything to keep Dean out of your hands.' She then started to throw threats at Manuel. I knew this man to be very cruel and heartless towards his rivals. Except to Maddy. Manuel remained calm. He even relaxed into his chair. 'Maddy, there're people who want Dean dead. I'm the only one who can protect him.' He then said. 'How? Being stuck in prison?' She then asked. 'I know my ways.' He replied to her.
I watched them argue for a while I imagined how I should end Manuel's life. It must be painful and slow. Like I did to a lot of my victims. I shook my thoughts away to help Maddy with the conversation because I felt like she was going to say something stupid. 'Dean will be mine. Maddy.' He then said ending the conversation. She rolled with her eyes and stood up. She then gave Dean a kiss on his little head and walked out. I waited for the door to close behind her. 'Don't you've to go after her? Or do you have something to say?' He then said to me. I laughed and then showed him my mark onto my wrist. 'You're one of The Father's little assassins?' Manuel growled at me. I stopped laughing and leaned forward. 'Nah, I'll be the killing your child while you watch.' I grinned. I could see the anger in Manuel's eyes. I then walked over to him.
'You still care about Maddy right?' I whispered in his ear. 'Even though you're the one who fucked her.' I started to make sure he was felt threatened. 'I'll make her scream every night.' I then stepped away from him when he pulled on his restrains. Out of anger. I laid my hand onto his back. 'Also, you should know that the Father is dead. So you don't have to worry about him anymore.' I said. I let go off him and walked towards the door. Before I left the room I made a cross. And exited.
