What He Needs

"Collect?" He frowns confused. "What the hell are you talking about?"

Taking my hood off I cross my arms watching him struggle in the chair, "Patience, Pierre. We'll get to why we're here momentarily; first we have to get everything set up"

His head snaps up at the sound of that, "What do you mean set up first? Set up what?"

I nod my head at Lamar and Belly and they head to the boiler room to get everything prepared.

Watching them disappear in the back I smirk as I pull the gloves I'm wearing tighter on my hands, "Don't worry, you'll find out soon enough."

Pierre's eyes wide with uncertain fear his adams apple bobs up and down as he tries to talk, "L-look man, whatever you want I can-"

"What I want is for you to shut the fuck up." I pull my 40 out pointing it in his face. "Yo ass lucky I don't just shoot you between the eyes right now"

I hate when niggas try to negotiate their way out of executions. When you're my target I'm getting your ass; I don't give a fuck how much you beg.

Leaning back in his seat Pierre's lips press together as his chest heaves up and down in anticipation.

Seeing he gets the point now I slowly put the safety on, "Travis, Freddy, check him out" I order pushing my gun back in it's holster.

Doing as I say, Travis and Freddy approach him pulling him out the chair.

Freddy helps Pierre stand on his bound feet while Travis pats him down finding only his cell phone and wallet. Handing them to me I open his wallet.

Finding his ID I read his information.

"Nice to see you again, Enzo" I greet him going through the folds until I find a picture of his family. Pulling it out I examine the two little boys with their mom and I try not to imagine that ever being Nava.

"Cute kids. What are their names?" I wonder.

It takes a second but he finally says, "Leon and Ruben"

I admit I'm not one hundred percent proud about what I'm about to do but there's no turning back now.

Feigning indifference I put the picture back before I place his belongings in my back pocket, "Y'all can sit 'em down. I'm going to check on the other two"

Watching them sit Pierre down in the chair, Travis puts the gag back in his mouth and I turn to walk towards the back to see how far along Lamar and Belly have gotten.

Walking in I find Belly securing Pierre's iron coffin over a pyre.

"How's it going in here?" I question while Belly locks the coffin in place.

Finished he straightens up dusting off his hands, "She's all ready to go, kid"

Nodding my head I slowly make my way around the coffin examining it from all angles, "Good. What about the unmarked grave?"

"We about to go do that." Lamar comes up behind me with a remote, "Listen, Abel, it won't take long for him to die but it'll take a couple hours to cook his entire body until it's unrecognizable" he lets me know.

"Now look, here's how this work, this button opens and closes the lid, it locks automatically. This button activates the torches." He shows me.

"Alright" I hold my hand out and he hands over the controller. "Joliene should be here any minute. Y'all go ahead and get ready"
