Ch. 15: The Meeting Pt. II

I feel a sense of deja vu as the words come out of his mouth. Before I had even seen Terra, he said the exact same words. I expected myself to feel scared if I was going to meet Terra again. Surprisingly, I wasn't. In fact, I wasn't scared at all. I could feel my previous rage threatening to spill out, but I kept myself under control.

He can't do anything to me anymore. I wasn't the captive anymore, he was.

Rather than going by car, Adriel suggests that we walk. I grab my house keys as Adriel speaks, "Do you have a scarf?" I think about it, I recall buying one but I don't remember where it was.

"Yes, I don't know where it is though." It must've been where I keep my winter clothing. I excuse myself and head to my bedroom's closet. I search a particular corner that had my winter jackets and thick clothing. I find a white scarf and bring it down to Adriel. The weather was definitely chilly outside, so it made sense why he wanted it.

"Thanks," he says as he unfolds it. I stand across from him, waiting for him to put it on so we can go out. He reaches towards me, scarf in hand, and places it behind my neck. With a sudden tug, I stumble closer to him and he quietly wraps it around.

"Don't you need it?" I ask.

He smirks, "Not as much as you. You were sick every two days in high school." That was only back in high school though, not anymore. I keep that information to myself, kind of liking how soft the scarf was around my neck.

We settle into my car and in no time, we were at the warehouse. My heart begins to race as I realize that Terra was inside. I clench my jaw as I open the warehouse door.

The lighting was dim, almost not enough to see the kneeling figure in the middle of the giant warehouse. I recognized his silhouette and my heart begins to race. With Adriel by my side, I step closer to Terra and only then did I realize that Adriel's men were blending in with the shadows.

I walk towards the kneeling figure and my eyes widen in surprise as I see his face. Bruised, bloody, and unrecognizable. That's how he looked. He lip was split in multiple areas and dried blood covered them, almost like dark red lipstick. He had uncountable cuts on his face and his right eyes was bruised shut. His hair was slick with sweat and parts of it stuck to his forehead. Blood was gushing out of his nose, almost as though someone just broke it.

I couldn't tell if he awake or not, but he was kneeling and his eyes were shut. I glance at Adriel who smirks and I realize I was holding my breath. Looking back at Terra, I recall what he had done to me. I spot a few stitches above his brow and almost as if reading my mind, Adriel speaks, "We get him treated and fed so he doesn't die."

A shiver runs down my spine as I remember my first ever encounter with Terra. After he shot Adriel, he commanded his men to treat him so that later on, they could torture him again. The two were more similar than I had initially thought.

"Oh," was the only thing I could think of saying. I clench my fists by my side as I stare at Terra in disgust. Suddenly, he begins moving and slightly opens his eyes and looks up at me. His voice was raspy and he sounded dehydrated, "Woah, am I dreaming?" Neither I nor Adriel speak. He laughs dryly, "Commander, shouldn't you be reporting Adriel for torturing another human being?"

My head begins to feel heavy at the thing that had been bothering me for months now. I should've reported him, but I didn't.

"You're not protecting the civilians. What kind of co-" He gets cut off by a punch to the face. I hadn't even seen Adriel approach him and it scared me.

I, a cop, am siding with a gangster rather than the police. I place a hand on my head, frustrated by the decisions I had been taking lately. Even after being punched, Terra sits up and laughs. I furrow my brows out of anger and I feel my nails digging into my palms. The man who had his way with me forcefully was right in front of me, yet I was just standing there. Unable to move.

I look at Adriel once more, who motions towards Terra. "All yours, Monte."

The anger I had been holding back suddenly spills out as I grab Terra roughly by his hair and throw multiple punches in his face. "Fuck you," I say as I ignore the pain in my knuckles and fingers. I repeatedly throw punches at him, and nobody was there to stop me. The adrenaline coursed through me, along with anger.

I feel something splatter onto my face, but I don't stop, even after realizing that it was blood. I move my hand to the collar of his shirt and continue to throw punches. I hear him grunt and groan in pain, but I didn't want to stop. Red flashes before me and with another, "Fuck you," I feel my eyes begin to water up.

I pause as I realize that I was about to cry. Ever since the day of the incident, it was the first time I had felt like crying. My heart beat begins to calm down as I feel a warmth envelope me. I smell a familiar cologne and I realize it was Adriel. Although I didn't want anybody's hands on me, I didn't mind his comforting embrace. After letting a few tears spill, I wipe my eyes and pull away from Adriel.

I head back towards the entrance and slam the door shut behind me. I lean on the car door and the rest of my tears spill out. Thankfully, nobody had been there to see me in this state.

Adriel POV

He slams the door shut behind him and I look at Terra with disgust. My eyes widen and I'm taken aback at the appearance of him. Sure he was unrecognizable after I beat him, but now? Now it was impossible to see if he even had facial features. It looked as though his entire face was cut off, leaving the rest of his head. "Dang," I whisper to myself.

With one last kick, I head in the direction Monte went. I stare at my hands. When I hugged him from behind, a few of his tears fell on my hand. I knew that he'd take out all his anger today, but was surprised that he didn't beat him up more. Oh well, I'll do it for him.

I slowly open the warehouse door, not wanting to startle Monte. I could only see his back as he leaned against the car. It wasn't the right time to be checking him out, but I couldn't help it. I draw my eyes away from him and approach him. I wrap an arm around him and he turns his head to look right at me. My chest tightens as I realized that he had cried and I hold his head and bring it to my neck.

He stays there for a few seconds, before pulling away and sitting inside the car. I feel a vibration in my pocket and I take out my phone. I attend the call, fully knowing what the person on other end was about to say.

"Done. He's dead."

I smirk as I realize the job was done, "Nice work. I'll see you at the station tomorrow." I glance at Monte, making sure that his attention wasn't on me. I shove my phone back inside and jog towards the drivers door. Every so often, I glance at Monte to make sure he's doing alright.

"Your house?" I ask as I pull away from the warehouse.

"No." He says quietly, "The station."
