THIRTY-THREE

NITRO

"Who are you?" The commissioner asks, looking over my shoulder at his son screaming. Ares and Tic are having fun with him. He won't be able to answer many of the questions we have planned. But there is only one man I want answers from.

"Who are the members of the other families?" I ask. I can't wait to take my mask off. So he can look in my eyes and see they are the fucking same as his.

Once I found out he was the sick bastard who fathered me, I noticed something. I have the same colour eyes as him, even the same fucking jawline.

"I'm not saying a word. You're killing me, not my wife and daughter. If I say anything about them, they will kill them too." He again looks over at his son when he screams, which only makes me smile knowing he is hurting.

"And what about your son? You are not worried about him?" He snaps his eyes back towards me, and the fear comes rushing through his face, and I silently shake my head because he knows no matter what happens they are both leaving her deadmen.

"Did you kill the Suri family?" So word is going around that families are dying, which means after we kill him, the other two families might go into hiding.

My brothers haven't said to beat him or anything, they've left it to me. A part of me wanted to beat him up, but then I thought fuck it. He isn't worth my energy nor is he worth damaging my hands for. He is worth fucking in the head with. He can watch his son screaming in pain, begging for his life.

"The black hole, what is that?" Nyx asks him, and I lean back in my seat watching him.

It's fucked up, but I can't wait until tomorrow to watch this bastard burn in flames. They can finally feel what I felt for years.

"The black hole?" Nyx snaps at him, making him jump which only makes me laugh.

"If they find out I talked, they'll kill my wife." He looks down at his feet tied to the chair legs. "They will take my daughter." The words escape his lips in a whisper.

Wasn't expecting him to say that to us. The Gatekeepers are more fucked up than I thought. "How did you meet your wife?" I ask the sick bastard. There's no way he would have found a wife as pretty as his.

"We met in college."

I give him a nod. "So while you were raping little innocent girls, your wife was at home thinking you were the perfect husband, who wouldn't hurt a soul."

"Fuck you," he shouts, and Nyx and I both start laughing. I can't wait until tomorrow when he finds out who the fuck he's talking to.

"The black hole. What is it?" This time I ask, he seems to be avoiding the question, because he knows whether he talks or not, there is only one way he is leaving. Dead.

"Can't-"

"What is it with all the families, why is it that you're so scared of each other?" Esha's family never said anything, every person we get never says anything, and now him. Why the fuck is everyone scared of their own organisation?

He sighs, taking in a deep breath. "We have a contract between us." He licks his lips, shaking his head.

Ares has never read about a contract, and the man is all for detail so there is no way he would have missed it.

"It states as long as we keep quiet about who we are, and what we do, no word is mentioned about the organisation. Our family is safe. If one of us dies because of people like you, our family is safe. But one of us talks, then it gives free range to kill the rest of them, or have them be taken." He takes in another deep breath, looking at his son.

That is why no one ever talks. It is in a written contract.

"That's why we've never touched the Suri daughter. Her family never said anything about us, so she gets to live her happy life. Even if we wanted to find out what really happened, we can't."

"And how do you know they didn't tell us anything?" I ask, he is talking, maybe not telling us what we want but giving us an idea of things we didn't know about.

"Because the following day the rest of us would be dead. That's how we know. We don't even know how you're finding us or how you know this information. But that is why we keep quiet. It saves the rest of the family." One dead body is better than a whole family. The men are happy to die to protect the women he loves.

I tilt my head up to Nyx, who's standing next to me. At least we now know why no one ever came after Esha. We thought they would want to know what is happening to the Suri daughter.

But I have a feeling they are watching her, or have looked at what she is doing, which means they are looking at us.

"Don't tell us anything. If we wanted to kill your wife and daughter we would have brought them here. Don't tell us about the other families. Don't tell us how many there are of you-" I stop for a moment as he shifts in his chair. Plus he doesn't need to know that we already know there's two more families after him. "But tell us one thing, and for today we will leave you alone while you watch your son in agony-"

"I can't."

"Next time you cut me off, I'll cut your tongue out-" His eyes widen, and I smile. "How about this? You tell us what the black hole is, and we will let your son have a peaceful sleep. Or you can watch him suffer for a while, for as long as I feel fit." I lean forward on my seat to make sure my face is close enough to him so I can hear the fear escaping his mouth. "But at night when you want to sleep, I will let you." He takes a deep breath looking at his son as Ares and Tic continue beating the shit out of him.

"Black Hole is where we keep the kids-" He stops talking, looks up at the ceiling. "-We had to change everything-"

"Why?" I should wait for him to tell me everything, but needing to know why they are changing things will help us understand when and how they do change. We're about to kill another family, and hit the two warehouses which are close. They will be changing things around.

"We had a group of lads, they escaped from the underground, we used to have-" He stops again, but all I can do is smile, because this makes me feel good. We're the four who escaped, and it wasn't fucking easy either. "We never found out how they escaped, but there was a break in the system. So, we got rid of it and made the Black Hole. Made sure no one would get out, we had a system in place. No-one touches them because well, I'm the commissioner so if anybody did want to, it comes through someone in the organisation and we can stop it."

I glance over at Nyx not taking his eyes off the commissioner, the place they kept us was locked down. It took us years to figure out how to get out of there, so this black hole must be on tight lock down.

Which one makes me ask one question. How the fuck do we get in there?

"And what do you do in the black hole?" Nyx asks.

"Auctions, torture, whatever we want."

He stops talking when I get up, that's all the information I need. We know what they do there, the same fucked up thing they were doing to us, just a different fucking hell location.

"How do we get in?" Nyx asks. He looks between us, which makes me chuckle to myself. With all the men we've killed because of their link to the organisation. One thing is for sure, they are all pussies.

Still not saying anything, I look down at his hand which he's trying very hard to make into a fist.

"Which finger?" I ask. Nothing but silence from him. "We can take all ten, if that's what you want. It's a finger and what?" There is no way it's only a finger we need, for a place which they have made sure can't be broken out of.

"A code, which changes every three hours. I ask for it, they will give it to me." We already have his phone, so we can get the code easily, by saying before he goes to join his wife on holiday he wants to play.

"So which finger do I need?" I get my knife out of my back pocket, and move the tip over his fingers waiting for him to answer me. He finally brings out his ring finger, and without telling him, I cut it off.

Turning to Tic and Ares I laugh when I see the state of the commissioner's son. Not sure if he will even last until the morning, the state he is in. And I'm sure they have broken his leg because it should not be looking like that.

"I'll get the ring set up." Nyx pats my back then walks away to Ares and Tic, and I look back over at the commissioner. He's eyes locked with mine, but I don't say anything to him while we stare at each other.

"All ready. It will last an hour then turn off; he can't move from that space." I hear Nyx in my ear, and I tell him we are ready to leave then.

"Who are you?" he asks me.

"We're the ghosts."

I look at the file which has been thrown in front of me. "What's this?" I ask, looking at Ares pulling out a chair for himself.

"Now I know I'm good at what we do. But even I need to make sure I give my brothers the right information. A DNA test." I finish my dinner, pushing my plate away from me. "Not sure about you, but I wanted to make sure my brother got the answers he's wanted for years." My glance moves to the file.

I trust my brothers with everything, I was never going to double guess him. Emily takes the file, and opens it while I look back at Ares staring at me.

"Why?" I ask him.

"Because you're my brother, and I needed to be one hundred percent sure I answered your questions," Ares tells me, and Emily slides the file over to me. Taking in a deep breath before I look down at the papers.

My brother did find the answers, slightly nodding my head I look up at him.

"Shall we kill the commissioner or should I say daddy dearest?" I ask, making my brothers laugh. Tomorrow the bastard will die, and he will know it was me, his son who killed him.

"Wesley has given us twenty minutes to get in and out, we split up in twos, mics on at all times." Nyx looks over at Emily, who has been quiet for most of the evening knowing we're hoping to bring her sister back to her. We have no idea if she is alive, and until we don't find a dead body we will continue to think she's alive. "We don't find her here, Wesley knows what she looks like, and will be on look out at the other location."

"And if she's not at either?" Emily asks in a whisper, but you can hear her choking back the pain in the question.

"Then back to square one, because the bastards will move the other Black Hole locations." I'm the one to answer her, because Ares would have been a dick about it, and Nyx spoke to me last night saying I'm the one who has to be there for Emily. So I'm trying my best to keep her calm.

Emily stays quiet, with a slight nod of the head. She takes a deep breath before her eyes meet mine, and her lips curl into a fake smile, but to make sure I'm there for her I give her a smile.

"We take the car, take the plates off so we can park close enough to hopefully get her in the car and quickly get away." Nyx gets up from the table, pats Tic on the back and walks away, and Ares takes Esha to the side, giving me a moment with Emily before we leave.

"Are you bringing her back here?" Emily asks, then turns to face me. "I want you to bring her back here." I hear the tightness in her throat as she tries to hold herself together.

"We are bringing her here. If we find her-" I turn my chair to face her, and glance over her shoulder at my brothers. I know what I have to tell her, but I would have liked to stay here for her, be the support, yet I can't. "-If we bring her back here, you have to remember she's not going to be the little sister you once knew. They would have played games with her, so prepare yourself for who we might be bringing home." I wipe the tear away from her cheek, and she gives me a small nod. I hate that I won't be able to bring back the sister she once knew, but she has to remember having a sister is better than not having one at all.

"I know. But I have you to help me through it." She leans her forehead on mine, and I hear her stopping herself from crying. "I love you."

"I hope to bring home what you've been looking for." I give her a kiss, and get up, grabbing my jacket from the back of the chair then walk over to my brothers.

"I'll look after her," Esha tells me, and I give her a smile as we leave the house.

We're about to save a lot of children, and hopefully give families back the child which was taken from them. We want to stop their suffering as much as we can, by taking them away from the animals who hurt them so much.

We've been watching the location for ten minutes and there is nothing. No one is coming in or going out. You wouldn't even think twice that there is some fucked up shit going on in there. We looked into this place, it's a clothes shop but the back leads to an underground space. It's one in the morning, and we wait for Nyx to get off the phone to Wes before we make our move.

"You're with me, Nitro and Tic." Ares slides his mask on, and I follow,

"Set twenty minutes on your watch-" We all set our watches, and get out of the car. "-right let's do this. Try not to kill too many people." Nyx jokes making Tic and Ares moan, and all I can do is laugh at them both.

Breaking into the shop, we make our way to the back and down the stairs. Nyx takes the commissioner's finger and we wait before it asks for the code.

It wasn't hard to get the code, we sent a message from the commissioner's phone saying he wanted some fun before he met up with his wife, and the sick bastards all phoned and gave him the code for tonight. We looked into the numbers but nothing.

"Split." Nyx walks off with Tic, and Ares and I go the other way.

Fucking hell this goes on for a mile at least, maybe more. Cages on either side, with boys and girls in each one. Ares moves to the side when we hear footsteps, and quickly grabs the man and slits his throat, slowly lowering him on the floor so as not to make any noise. Another man comes into view, and I wrap my arm around his neck, waiting for him to lose conscience. Looking through each cage, hoping to see Emily's sister.

They aren't all little children, there are some who have to be in their twenties which surprises me because they never kept anyone over the age of twenty.

"Nitro," I walk over to Ares, as we walk down a set of cages. "Found her!" Ares shouts, and I run over to the cage, and see her laying on the floor shaking. We wait for Nyx to come with the finger to open up the cage for us.

"Go," Nyx pushes me into the cage, and Emily's sister looks up at me crying, in floods of tears.

"I...please give...I'm tired." She cries to me, and I kneel in front of her and she tries to fight me, but I'm double the size of her. She curls up into a ball, begging me not to touch her, and I scoop her up in my arms, and she gives up on the fight and lets me carry her out.

Nyx is on the phone to let Wes know we found her and we are leaving, and to give us five minutes.

Nyx already has the car started, Ares opens the door for me, and I place Emily's sister - Rachel, in the back seat. Ares sits on the other of her, and Nyx drives off.

Rachel places her hand on my upper thigh, and starts moving it up and down, her other hand does the same to Ares.

"If...if I play, will I be rewarded?" she asks, moving closer to me. "Please, I'll be a good girl," she whispers in my ear, and kisses my neck, but I pull away from her, removing her hand from my thigh. She moves closer to Ares, trying to move her hand up her top, but he stops her. "I'm a good girl," she tells him.

"How about, good girls sit with their hands on their laps and not say a word," Ares tells her and I look over at him. What the fuck is he doing? "This is all she knows, rules. Until we get home she's going to try to suck us off. So give her a command to not touch us, and she will listen."

I hate that he's commanded her to do something, but he's right. The moment we sat in the car she was rubbing us, and talking about being good for us. But he had to do it.

Taking a moment, I look over her body, what I can see anyway, to see if I can see any scars, and nothing. Not one. Shockingly she looks well looked after, it looks like they feed her, bathe her, if she was walking the streets with a guy, I would never think there was something wrong with her. So her abuse was all sexual, sold to be raped over and over.

How much is she going to tell us, when we finally are able to open her up. Did she ever see the men who raped her, or the people who took her? So many questions, but I have a feeling for now she won't be able to tell us anything, and who knows when she will be ready to open up to us.

The only thing I care about right now, I get to bring Emily her sister back. Something she has wanted for years, and I get to give it to her.
