Brooklyn Revival (completed)

Chapter 28- Bruised and Broken

Magnus felt the car stop and heard the doors all opening before being pulled out the car and tossed over a mans shoulder, guessing it was the shorter of the two judging by the wider shoulders that his stomach was laying on. Swallowing hard, he realised all the noises around him seemed more amplified, every door seeming to shut louder, every breath seeming to come out as a huff and the whispers between the men sounding like a full on mumbling conversation that he couldn't quite make out.

Hoping soon that someone would come and save him, Magnus took a deep breath and tried to calm himself but knew it wasn't going to happen. He knew that the situation he was in was looking too bleak to be resolved. He wasn't sure if he had even managed to text Alec, and he knew his father wouldn't help him, so his chances of being saved wasn't looking too good.

He heard the sound of wood being dragged along the floor before his ass hit a cold wooden chair, groaning slightly at how hard they shoved him in the seat. He felt the tape pulled off his hands, wincing slightly as the tape pulled at the hairs on his arms before he flexed his fingers out, grateful to have the bind off but he wasn't able to enjoy it for long as his arms were brought behind the chair and bound together again, thankfully with a cloth this time however.

Magnus listened out for any other sounds when all went quiet, concerned about what was happening around him when the cloth fell away from his eyes and he blinked into the harsh light. It took him a few seconds to get his eyes to be able to focus when he saw Michael sitting opposite him with Steve and Terry on either side. Both in leather jackets and trying to look tough behind their boss, Magnus having to stop himself sniggering as they looked like something out of a bad mafia movie.

"So Magnus, this is what is going to happen. I'm going to have my guys rough you up a little. Then I will video call your father, show him what you look like and demand he pay, giving him 48 hours to pay up or he will receive a body part of you for everyday he is late" Michael said cheerfully before ripping the duct tape off Magnus's lips, tasting iron from the blood dripping into his mouth as the skin pulled off in certain areas, Magnus swallowing hard as he saw that Michael seemed to have no ounce of humanity in him that would stop him from committing such actions.

"What? Body parts?" Magnus asked, a frown spreading across his eyes as he tried not to cry. The thought of Alec sitting at home alone making him feel awful, the thought of Alec thinking Magnus didn't come back home because of their row making Magnus feel even worse than before. "Please... don't do this"

"Sorry but needs must... Now... Steve, Terry, beat him up a bit. Nothing too bad though" Michael said as he stood up and tapped the shorter man's shoulders before receiving a nod from them and walking out of the room.

Magnus gulped as he looked at the two men approaching, screwing his eyes shut and putting his head to the side as he waited for the first hit. The blow coming hard across his cheek and Magnus crying out in pain as it rippled through his face, knowing if his hands were free he would've cupped the cheek.

More blows came, one cutting his eyebrow, one busting his nose and giving him a nose bleed, another busting his lips up as they bled too. He received a few to the stomach and was sure his rib had broken when he felt a burning sensation in his chest. The pain seeming to roll into one by the end and his mind focusing on Alec and how he wished he had stayed at home.

The taller of the men was just putting a final hit to his chin when Michael came back in, interrupting the torture, Magnus grateful to see him if it meant they didn't keep beating him but then he saw the camera and knew it wasn't over. He had seen enough rubbish mafia movies to know that Michael's men would hit him on camera if his father didn't arrange something with them.

"Ah Magnus, see you don't look too bad" Michael smiled, "Now we are going to call that father of yours."

Michael set up the camera as Magnus turned away and looked at the door, silently begging for Alec to come bursting through the door and become his knight in shining armour, to save him but no one came. It was then that a phone started to ring, Magnus's phone. Michael frowning and looking to the men in confusion before going to Magnus and rummaging in his pocket to pull out his phone.

"You two... Haven't I always said, take their phones from them!" Michael snapped at the two men who cowered away a little, not expecting that reaction from the 2 of them. "Let's see anyway."

Michael moved behind Magnus and held the phone to Magnus's thumb to it would recognise his print and unlock. Michael chuckled as he opened up the message that came through, Magnus glancing the sight of a red heart emoji and knowing it was Alec as he was the only contact with an emoji in his name.

"Seems your boyfriend has given up already." Michael smirked, showing the text to Magnus to read.

'Magnus- I'm so sorry for not telling you the truth about me from the start. I now know you don't love me and I totally understand that. I love you though. I've known it from the moment I met you. I hope you have a good life. Never let that father of yours drag you back into the darkness. You've come so far and are all the more beautiful for it. Goodbye Magnus. All my love- Your Alexander'

Magnus's heart broke at the text, it had been less than 6 hours since he left and Alec already thought that Magnus didn't want him. Magnus couldn't help the sob that escaped his throat as the tears fell. In that moment, he didn't care that he was abducted, he didn't care that he might lose his life. It was the thought that Alec didn't think he loved him anymore that had him the most scared and emotional.

"Please... let me talk to him. I can't lose him. He can't think I don't love him" Magnus pleaded, pulling at the restraints and trying to fight to get to his phone.

"Sorry but I can't you may tell him that you've been taken and then he may get the police, it's all one big drama. However, look at it this way. Isn't it better for him to get over you now, then to find out that you do love him and you being killed a little later on?" Michael shrugged. "I will reply to him for you though, to give him closure"

'Alex- Im sorry too but I couldn't get over what you did. I wish you the best too - Magnus'

"There..." Michael smiled sending the text and showing it to Magnus who didn't mention that no one called Alec 'Alex'. The hope that Alec would realise this and know something was wrong and that he never signed a text as Magnus. It was either a few emojis or just 'M' depending on who it was. For Alec, it was always a heart at least, even if they did just 'break up' he still hoped Alec would recognise the difference in his texting. "Now... let's give that father of yours a call"

Magnus sat in silence as they called Asmodeus, his father finally answering the call with a grumbling 'hello' until he realised who had actually called him and his demeanour changing instantly to worried and concerned. Magnus' eyes widened in shock, having never seen his father like this.

"M-Michael... I will get your money... I need time" Asmodeus stuttered.

"I appreciate that, however times up and I thought you might need some incentive... We have your son... say hello Magnus" Michael smiled, showing Asmodeus his son in the chair, beaten and bleeding.

"Hello father" Magnus said sadly.

"Ha! You think that's going to bother me? He is no son of mine" Asmodeus spat out, Magnus rolling his eyes and looking at Michael with an 'I told you so...' face. "Keep the fag or kill him and his abomination of a boyfriend for all I care."

"You have 48 hours to pay up or I start cutting off his limbs and sending them to you" Michael frowned, hoping to up the aggression.

"Yeah ok, call me back when you have someone that I actually care about. Bye!" With that Asmodeus hung up and left Magnus completely shocked and scared as too what was about to happen.

"Now what?" Magnus asked after a few minutes of silence.

"Now... we wait" Michael shrugged before disappearing out the back of the warehouse again.
