Caleb's POV.

It has been three days now since I've left Layler's house...the weather seems to be looking proper.
Tomorrow is Jerry's wedding. The wedding is in Canada and almost the whole family is there.

I am driving to the airport at this point alone, Letty already went there yesterday. I had to stay behind due to work demands.

I park my car in the parking lot and then I take my stuff out of the boot.
"Hey" A voice startles me, I turn my back and I find Layler standing there wearing a black pencil skirt, black shirt, dark shades, hair is let loose and a black boyfriend blazer and black pumps.

"Woman in black?" I joke, there isn't much that she will do to me in this area so hey why not lighten up the mood?

"Follow me" She says simply and then she walks away, I follow her and she leads me to a black jeep with dark windows.

"Get in" She says as she enters on the driver's side.

"I am going to miss my flight...what is all this about?" I ask trying to read her face.
She waits for me to enter...instead I huff and walk away, she starts the engine and then she opens the window.

"I wouldn't want people dying for your sins you know" I ignore her and keep walking.
I feel a slight piercing on my shoulder and the next thing, I am out of it.

*********************************

I open my eyes and I find myself in a dark room...I stand up and I start to walk around.
Part of me is really convinced that this is a dream...I mean no-one kidnaps someone and doesn't tie them up.

I look around for the light switch and I touch on the walls, but I stop the minute I feel a needle pierce through my skin.

"Dammit" I say.
The lights go on, so that's the magic word then?
I see that I am in a room that has spikes on the walls.
It doesn't take much effort for me to figure out how I got here...it is all Layler.

"Hey cuzzie, take a seat" Layler says as she walks in with a chair that has wires on it, she must be insane if she thinks I will sit on that chair.

"Is this your idea of slow painful death?" I ask then she walks to me and then she pushes me onto the chair.

"That was easy" She says as the wires automatically attach to my body.

"Those things sting like a bitch" She says, I am glad you find this amusing.
"Just chill man" She says.
She presses a button on some remote and it sends electric waves through my body.

"The wedding starts in 2 hours’ time you know?" She says while I am still being electrocuted.
She stands next to me with a whip in her hand, really now? You are going to beat me to death?

"You know, I was planning on killing Frank"

"Your father, you mean" I say then she grabs a hold of the whip and she sends it flying across my face.
She does this six times till I can actually taste the blood in my mouth, I look at her and then I spit it out.

"Not my father, are we clear!" she says as she whips me across the face one more time and I start to cough out blood.

"Beautiful sight really" She says with a smile.

"Take a picture it lasts longer" I say spitting the blood out once more.

"I had plans for his death...but when I found out that he contributed to my outcome...I had to think twice"
She pauses and then she sits on the floor, she takes out a rat, this chick does magic. How can things just come out of nowhere?

"You see Caleb, I care about family" she says as she strokes the rat.
"But rats? Nah" she says as she takes out a knife.
She uses the knife to stroke the rat...poor rat.

"You killed my son, your nephew? Did you know that? That me and Jerry had a son whom you killed?"

"It was a mis-" I pause as she cuts off the rat’s head, what the actual fuck?!
"Oops...mistake" She says as she throws the dead rat to the wall and it sticks to the wall.

"I know...but you have to feel the pain that I felt when I mourned my son!" She stands up and then she holds the knife to my leg...and I just see the picture of the rat.

As if something hit her, she steps back and then she presses something on her remote and the roof opens up...a ladder drops down and she gets on it and then she waves a subtle "bye".
The minute she is out of sight, the spiked walls start to close in...Ok this is what she meant by "slow death"...the walls are closing up on me slowly but surely.

"Dear Lord" I start to say a short prayer asking for forgiveness so that I may be accepted in heaven.
Just as the walls get closer, the chair starts to heat up and my ass feels hot, the next thing I know, the chair takes off like a flight and it goes right out of the building. Huh?
