Leo's uncle strides in, undoes Anna's bonds, and yanks her to her feet.
"No, uncle don't hurt her!" Leo cries, clutching the big man's calf, "I'll do whatever you want but please don't hurt her!"
His uncle looks down thoughtfully at Leo then grins sinisterly, "I'll make you a deal nephew."
"Anything, just don't hurt her," Leo sobs.
His uncle throws her to some of his men who had crept in to watch.
"Take her to one of the rooms in the attic," he barks, Leo flinches.
The attic only had rooms used or to be used as torture chambers. The walls of each one were soundproof, but sometimes the screams of the prisoners could be heard from downstairs.
"Uncle please..."
"Shut up, you want her to live don't you?"
Leo's mouth snaps closed.
"Here's my deal," his uncle tells him, crouching down, "You will do everything I say, obey every order, no matter what it is or how stupid it seems. If you do, she will be treated well."
"And if I don't?"
"If you don't, I'll have her beaten and raped."
"That's not a deal," Leo murmurs, "That's basically blackmail."
His uncle shrugs, "Call it what you want. It's what I'm offering, take it or leave it. You have ten seconds before I leave with any hope you had left. Ten...
Nine...
Eight...
Seven...
Six...
Five...
Four..."
"I'll do it," Leo whispers, his uncle smiles.
"Good, we start tonight."
