Trey

9

Once the slaves are dressed they return to Alexa and Trey's side. They all obediently follow their new owners out to the car. The girls are resigned, the males thoughtful.

Once they are all settled in the warmed up interior Alexa fixes her thoughtful stare on each of them. "I don't like calling the slaves by derogatory names so I'll need a name you wish to be called by. If you don't wish to be called by your legally given name, that's fine, but just know that the name you give me now is the name by which I and the others will call you. So if you wish to be called bitch or whore or bastard or honey or love then let that be the name you give us now."

"Melany," one of the girls says and barely looks at her new owner, "Mistress, I'm sorry I forgot."

Alexa smiles, "That's alright. When we are alone you call me mistress, but when we are in public, call me Alexa." Alexa looks at the others, "That goes for all of you."

"Mistress my name is Chantelle," the other female says then looks down immediately afterwards.

Alexa smiles at her but is furious, the girls are so beaten that they have no spirit left. She will need to work on that.

Alexa looks to the proud male, "Your wounds will be looked over by a doctor tomorrow. All of you will be looked over by a doctor and a plastic surgeon to see if any of the damage can be reversed or hidden. I know that some things can't be fixed, but I will do what I can to fix those that can be."

"My name is Chance," the proud one finally tells her.

Alexa looks expectantly at the last male. He holds her gaze with an angry glare in return before a mild shock reminds him that he needs to behave. "Theo."

"Well, are you all hungry?" Alexa asks pleasantly to the group.

When Trey is the only one to respond, "Well then I guess the others don't want food."

Then the others respond, "Yes, I'm hungry."

"Trey, you know what I want. Get hamburgers, fries, and chicken nuggets for our guests. Better get water for them as well." Alexa directs and Trey nods. He rolls down the window and gives their order.

Theo is the first to scoff at the situation. Alexa looks at him with held in amusement. "Is there something  you find amusing Theo?"

"You're in the fucking mafia, in a limo and ordering fast food for you and your slaves. I find that hilarious." Theo says with a hint of mockery in his tone.

Trey tenses at his lack of respect. Alexa places her hand on his arm. "It's okay, Trey, I did ask and he has a right to his opinion. Actually I find it a bit amusing myself."

Trey gives Theo a warning look then turns to the window and takes the food.

After the food is passed around and they've all had a chance to eat something Alexa breaks the silence. "I'm sure that you all are wondering what's going to happen to you now?"

They nod, not willing to give voice to their fears.

"That will largely depend on you. You have the chance to earn your freedom, remain my slave or be sold. Your actions will determine where and what will happen to you."

Theo scoffs, "Like you are going to give us freedom."

"She gave me mine." Trey says and all noise stops in the car.

Trey sneers at the disbelief, "Surely you noticed that I had one of the chains just like you?" Trey directs his attention to Theo, "You are even now wearing mine. Why in the world would she give you a chain that wasn't electric?"

The four new slaves look at him with disbelief.

"Trey, darling, I think you should introduce us to our guests."

"Your new owner is Alexa Chambers, I am Trey Michaels. Alexa is boss over the Silver Dragons, I am boss of the Black Rose mafia." There is silence that meets his words.

Alexa is the one to break it. "You all seem to be aware of the names of the mafias at least."

The girls look down and are too afraid to look up let alone answer. 

"Well, do talk over each other to answer. Melany, what and how did you hear about the mafias?" Alexa chooses one of them at random.

"I heard in the slave pens that your mafia and that of his mafia are ruthless. No one knows what or who the leader of the Silver Dragons is, but they are terrified of you." Melany finally tells her but her stomach is doing somersaults and she's not sure that she'll be able to keep the food down.

"I see, did they also say that I'm loyal to those that are loyal to me?" Alexa waits but Melany is only able to shake her head no.

"You don't go against me and you'll be fine, all of you that's true for. Now, Chantelle, how and what did you hear?"

"I heard through the slave pens as well. I heard that the people are scared of you but terrified of master Trey."

Alexa looks thoughtfully from her new slaves to Trey, "No need to fear Trey unless you are betraying us."

"I don't hurt females," Trey tells them.

"I need to make myself a bit more known if they are more afraid of you, Trey."

"It's safer that they underestimate you, Alexa. Leave it alone."

Alexa loses her amused look and looks hard at Trey.

"I heard about the mafia's because the ones that sold me, some friends of friends, are part of a gang. They admire, master Trey, but are terrified of the unknown boss for the Silver Dragons," Theo said.

Alexa hears the bitter tones in his voice. "There is something going on. What is it?"

Theo glares at her, "They knew that I am the only breadwinner for my family. They knew that my mother is dying and that my siblings need me and they still did this to me."

Alexa stiffens up as does Trey, "What's wrong with your mother?"

"She's dying from cancer," Theo gives in and tells Alexa. He figures it won't hurt anything and hell, it just might mean something.

"Trey?"

"On it."

"I'll need your mother's phone number. You'll call her and reassure her that you are fine. You won't tell her anything about being kidnapped, sold and bought. You will tell her to email her medical records to Dr. Francossi. He's the top oncologists in the States. Dr. Francossi will look over your mother's medical records and take her on as his patient. Your siblings will be looked after.

"How many do you have?"

"I have two younger sisters and two younger brothers." Theo's head is spinning at how fast his life is changing once more. Alexa, the leader of the most dangerous mafia in the States if not the world is helping him?

"I need your mother's phone number." Alexa pulls him from his chaotic thoughts.

"I don't know it. It was stored in my phone which was taken and destroyed when I was kidnapped."

"I need a full name and location of the one that pays the bill for the phone." Trey says to the now despondent male.

Trey types in the information and gives Alexa the resultant number. Alexa types in the number and hands the phone to Theo. The silence in the car is broken only by the sound of the ringing phone.

"Hello?" Theo starts crying at the sound of his mother's voice.
