“I’ll ask one more time Jacob, what do you know about the Axe brothers?” Felicity nails digs into Jacob’s skin on his face, as he struggles to hold the pain and wince at the same time.

“I already told you all it is I know…I…don’t…know…” Felicity hardens her pressure on her nails, as all Jacob can do is wallow in pain with his hands and legs all tied up.

“f**k!” Felicity takes her grip away from him, before running a hand through her hair in distortion of Jacob’s repeated answer. Felicity’s gaze meets with mine as I send her a negative nod, meaning for the fact that Jacob might not know more than he has told us. 

“Your sister is quite doing well Jacob. Fortunately for you, I have her bills settled and she has began receiving full treatment again.” My voice echoing gently in the room, as Jacob’s gaze moves with my pace in fear. “But, don’t get me wrong, such treatment can be taken back if you choose not to cooperate…”

“I’ve told you everything I know…I swear!” Jacob cuts me off as his voice cower in utmost fear.

“No you haven’t Jacob, because I am yet to know why the Axe brothers will sabotage their own community, knowing fully well that there would be grace consequences for that.” I speak. “So Jacob, if you really love your sister and want to save her, you will tell me from the very beginning, without missing a thing out, what took place.” My gaze stern on Jacob, while he nods instantly willing to talk with fear coercing through his veins.

“When the Axe brothers found me, they offered to leave my sister out of it, if I willingly cooperated with them. They said after I do what they need me to be done, I was free. Although it sounded too good to be true especially knowing what I did, but I didn’t care and knew the gravity of what I had done so I agreed instantly to do it.

I was in their custody, the day they called Romeo to remind him of their package which had been stolen and yet to receive a r****d. They knew the package was a heavy one and would be a huge loss from the Stone family, which will require time for the package to be rearranged, giving them the time they need to operate what they needed.” Jacob says.

“So we know this was all a plan from the Axe brothers, but I can help but become perplexed at the fact that you say you were not part of them before you stole Romeo’s package. If you say so, then if you hadn’t stolen the package, what would the axe brothers leverage on with Romeo?” I question Jacob.

“I don’t know…but i know they had a plan before I came in, because after the Axe brothers spoke with Romeo, they also spoke to a man on the phone.” Jacob answers.

“What man?” Felicity asks this time around.

“I swear I don’t know who he is, all I heard them telling him was my presence and their conversation with Romeo, while it seemed as though he was the one that pulled the strings.” Jacob answers fervently.

“Well we do know the Axe brothers do not operate on their own and there has been rumors of them having an upper hand as of recent,” Felicity speaks shrugging her shoulders like it’s news she has heard before.

“Did you get a Name of the person he talked to?” I further asked Jacob.

“No, but while I was there…one of them received an envelope as in the envelope…the letter S was written boldly on it. And after he received it, I believe he called the same man and informed him.” Jacob tells us, as my gaze furrows perplexed.

“S?” I turn my gaze to meet Felicity. “Does that ring a bell to you Felicity?” I ask her, but she nods her head negatively.

“Not that I know of.” Felicity answers.

“Why didn’t you inform us of this before?” My gaze back at being stern with Jacob.

“I…I didn’t think it was necessary…and it didn’t come to me that…”

“I decide what is necessary Mr veloski and unless you want your sisters life to end in pain, you better start telling everything it is you know.” Felicity rages on Jacob as he nods fearfully.

————————

“I’d like to have a word with Jacob alone.” I tell Felicity as she stares at me vividly, while I watch her gaze go from stern to soft.

“Of course my friend, and incase I haven’t expressed my condolences for whatever he might have done to you. Accept them now.” Felicity moves closer to me as she holds my hand in hers.

“Thank you Felicity. It really is indeed ….to have another whom can relate like I do.” I smile lightly at her, as all she does is nod back at me appreciatively, before she leaves the room to be just I and Jacob.

“Every time I think about it, all I see is the tears from her eyes, with how much you molested her life.” I begin with Jacob as he stares at me in perplexity. I move closer to him making sure he that whatever I would say next would be only heard between Jacob and I. 

“I have so many dirty secrets of what you have done Jacob, and if the Axe brothers doesn’t kill you first, Romeo will, and then there’s me. But with me, I might reconsider on what to do with you and your sister.” My tone menacingly sly that I get Jacob terrified.

“Please… I have gone too far to let her die this way, and I’m willing to go even more if it’s to protect her…please…”

“It’s your desperation Jacob, that would be the end of you and if you’re not careful you’d drag your sister along with you.” My gaze hard on him. “I would have pitied you but I can’t bare you, let alone trust you, because you are a cunning motherfucking asshole whom will jump to the next savior that promises him freedom.” My tone lacing with venom as Jacob can only stay mute. “I can get you out of this mess, but you’ll have to prove yourself to me first.” I add, as Jacob’s eyes light up with hope.

“Tell me what you want me to do. I promise you I will do it. I will swear my loyalty with you if that’s what you require. Please, save me from this.” Jacob begs, as a sinister smile plays on my lips hearing the desperation in his voice.

Yes Jacob, yes, beg, beg with everything you have, because we are just getting started.
