Mercy

Part 34: S.S.

TW: Gore, Violence, you know the vibe by now.

Siobhan must have been a track star in another life because god damn that woman could run. I wasn't all that worried, this was actually the most fun I had had in a while. I got to be the predator and I got to hunt my prey in a way I hadn't before. I caught up with her and grabbed her by her hair, yanking her back and her back hit the ground. I sat on top of her, pinning her done like I had done with so many people before her.

"I am going to give you two choices right now Siobhan" I was out of breath and so was she, this was kind of nice, almost intimate. "Either you come with me willingly or I'll drag you by your pretty hair the whole way back" She looked terrified so I gave her a kind smile. It really hurts being dragged at all but by your hair, it is the kind of pain you can't imagine until it happens to you. Feeling how your scalp is being pulled from your skull. The way the pain intensifies as more and more hair breaks leaving small specs of blood where the hair had been ripped out with too much force. The fear in her eyes almost made me believe that she knew all of this, so her response didn't surprise me.

"Walk"

"Good girl" I stood up and brushed some dust from my clothes. "You can try to run again but then I will drag you and I will take detours" I looked at her. She was lying motionless on the floor. I reached out my hand and pulled her to her feet. I held her hand and we went back to Roger's office.

As we entered she froze and I stood with her like that for a second. Admiring the scene, it looked tidy and well planned. I could be proud of this. Roger looked alert so everything was falling into place although this was not the plan. I held her hand as I took the duct tape from the desk and I sat her in one of the armchairs. I taped her hands and feet then I turned her around so that they could look at each other. She didn't say anything. She didn't scream or beg, she just sat still, frozen like a porcelain doll. I wrapped some tape around the armchair and her legs. It was not a great chair to tape people too but I was pretty sure she wouldn't be able to run.

"I am going to be honest here" I was circling Roger but speaking to Siobhan. "You were not supposed to be here tonight. I had decided to let you go. But then you had to show up. Why are you even here, Siobhan?" She didn't answer, she was too scared I guess. I took my knife, not my good knife but my biggest knife and walked to her, putting it to her throat. "I would talk if I were you"

"He asked me to come. He said he had something for me" The chip dropped and I realized that Roger hadn't told her about the pictures yet. I turned my focus to Roger.

"Oh, so when you said that you were dealing with her... That was tonight? I really wished I had known that" I pouted then looked back at Siobhan. "Do you know why he wants to talk to you Shibby?" I asked, smiling sweetly. She shook her head. "Well... I gave him some pretty pictures. Pictures of you and Autumn" She clenched her jaw and I found this amusing. "Can you guess what you were doing in those photos?" She didn't answer and I put the knife to her throat again. "Guess!" It wasn't a question and she knew that.

"When I kissed her"

"Oh Shibby, you did a little more than kiss her" She looks at the floor. "It was almost sweet, had it not been Autumn. She is mine. Just like you are his" I gestured to Roger. "I guess it is really kismet that you are here. Just an hour ago I extended my services to Roger here. I offered to take care of you" I crouched down in front of her. "What do you think he said?" She looked at me and then him.

"No. He wouldn't"

"Ding, ding, ding! You are correct. He wanted to do it himself" I looked at her for a reaction at first I could tell that she didn't believe me but after letting the silence speak she started to doubt him. "I was going to forgive you for what you did. But I guess that I am just a better person than Roger Knight" I put some tape over her mouth and I removed Rogers. "I am going to hurt her now"
