!!!!!!!!!Author's Note!!!!!!!!!!

Hello Everyone! Happy Friday! I hope you all had a good week. Mine was somewhat frustrating, but I managed to get some of it resolved, so that's at least partly good. Now I just have to work on the other thing and then I will be golden. It's supposed to rain like a mofo here this weekend, so we probably won't be doing much. I hope everyone else has an enjoyable weekend.

This week, Joe tells Gabe what occurred with Brad, Patrick is taken to X-ray room, Gabe shares his plan for Brad's real punishment with Joe, Gabe rounds up his men, sends them to find Brad and tells them to bring him back and lock him in one of the meeting rooms and Shane, Theodore, Ross, and Justin are successful accomplishing their mission.

As always, enjoy, tell your friends and if you like it please feel free to leave me kudos or a comment. Happy Reading!

Chapter 95

********Trigger Warning for Descriptions of Graphic Violence********

"Brad kept yelling at Patrick to get up and that's when Patrick told him that when he landed extremely hard after Brad threw him across the room, that he felt his ankle crunch, twist, and snap. He said he'd love to get going, but he couldn't walk on his ankle, and someone was going to have to help him, which would slow their progress. That just seemed to enrage him more and then he punched Patrick very hard on the left side of his face, throwing him to the ground and making him slide further across the floor. We aren't talking about human strength here, Gabe. We are talking about vampire strength. I ran to Patrick, kneeled next to him, and saw that he was barely still conscious, his jaw was messed up, he had a black eye, his cheekbone was terribly swollen, and his nose was bleeding very hard. That's when I'd had enough. I stepped between Patrick and Brad, and I explained that I had no idea why he was so angry and enraged or why he was taking it out on us, but I suggested that he step away and figure his shit out and calm down before he ended up killing one of us. I told him that he wasn't coming anywhere near me or Patrick until he calmed his ass down. I said that I'd take Patrick to sick bay and walk back to my cell myself and that I didn't give a flying fuck what he did as long as he left us the fuck alone. Then I threatened to tell you about it if he came any closer or tried to touch either of us. I said that if I didn't tell you then Patrick would've at which time I told him that he'd done enough damage for today and to get the hell out of here. I don't know where he went, but he started running in the opposite direction away from us. Then I picked up Patrick and brought him to sick bay." Joe finishes explaining.

"I see. I have a feeling his rage was my fault and I'm so sorry that he took it out on you and Sugar. He knows that I made Sugar tell me everything that happened this morning, but I haven't punished him yet because I am planning his attack, and I'm not prepared to enact it just yet. Perhaps I will share some of the details with you if there is a chance to do so. So, I've been treating him completely normally, like nothing happened. He has been on edge since then. I'm sure he is aware that a punishment is coming, but the fact that he doesn't know how bad it will be, when it's going to happen, or how it is going to happen has been eating away at him, which is what I wanted to happen. Apparently, his emotions are running much higher than I thought, and I apologize that he took his anger and rage toward me and this situation and projected that onto you and Sugar. I can't kill him, because I still need him and his abilities, but I can guarantee you that his punishment will a very painful fate worse than death. Once we've been informed of Sugar's injuries, I will heal him completely and you two may return to your cell, until I send either a severely disciplined Brad or another guard to collect him later tonight. In the meantime, I will find Brad and discipline him accordingly for this incident, you have my word. The big punishment will be coming, but I'm sure I can figure out something for tonight at least. I never intended for him to take his anger out on either of you. I'm also absolutely furious that he injured Sugar for no reason." Gabe illuminates.
