".... Where the fuck is my money Richards!.."

"Man, I swear I will get it to you.. I just needed a couple more days...

"So you decided the best route of action would be to avoid me?.. are you fucking stupid!..." Hadyn snapped. He walked around the man who was tied to a chair in the middle of the lower floor of this disused underground parking lot. He put ok black gloves and Richards watched him eyeing everything that he was doing.

"I was going to call you man...

"I don't believe you for shit.. in fact I think that you were going to do a runner... a lil birdie told me you bought tickets one way outta LA for tomorrow morning..."

"No... I swear man... I didn't...

Hadyn set up the devices around him

Hadyn set up the devices around him. He then pushed metal hooks into the skin of the man. Richards screamed in pain. Diego gagged him with thick insulation tape to shut him up. The sweat ran down Richards body. The pain and intensity of what Hadyn was doing too much for him to bear.
As soon as the hooks were all attached, to the flesh of his thighs, his shoulders, neck and arms he was untied and lifted from the seat, suspended in mid air by his own flesh.

Richards stopped making any noise, he had passed out up there. But Hadyn knew it would only be a matter of time before he re awoke and the screams would be blood curdling.
Hadyn looked at Diego. "Are you okay man?..."

"Yeah...just watching you in action and knowing that you are getting closer to my niece unnerves me.." he told him.

"I never take my work home with me man, you should know that..." he laughed.

"Well, I have heard that Telford popped into Courtney's yesterday... he shook her up a lil..."

"Did he now... me offing three of his main bitches meant shit to him then..."

"I just know that he is preparing to show his hand and when he does.. it is not going to be pretty..."

"5...4...3...2..1...

"AAAGGHHHHHHH...." Richards came too and the screaming commenced.

"I'll lower you down... when you promise to wire me the money!." Hadyn said over his screams.

"OKAY... OKAY!..." he yelled.

Hadyn lowered him. He left the hooks in place in case he was playing with him. Hadyn put a laptop in front of him after he punched in some security details. Richards precariously added the amount that he owed to Hadyn into the screen.
Hadyn waited as the transaction progressed. "You know I can't do business with you again after this... cos you know I don't do business with shady mother fuckers!..."

Richards breathed deeply his body in a heap of pain.
The transaction was a success. "See it really wasn't that hard was it..." Diego said as he took the laptop from Richards.
Hadyn then proceeded to throw gasoline over him. Richards was just slumped in the chair, not really knowing what was going on, until Haydn lit his blunt and threw the lighter on to the fluid by his feet.
Richards was then engulfed in flames. His screams could be heard for just a little while longer before there was silence.
