The Devil's Smile

Chapter 2

“Whoa whoa there rocket, with a dress like yours and looking like that you always gotta be late in order to make an entrance!! And do not worry, I am gonna be by your side all through the night, just don’t forget anything,” said Puck as he finally let go off my face.

“What about the IDs? Have you asked Dobby to make them?”  I asked looking at Dobby who looked at me as he heard his name being called. Dobby was the name of the house-bot that I and Puck had built together for our summer project in seventh grade.

“No one is gonna ask for any,” said Puck, as he turned me towards the mirror and I saw myself looking at someone else in the reflection. I smiled at the way I looked and knew that I was ready to kill tonight.

The house was filled with people but there were very less number of real girls in the party. After all when you were the only son of a billionaire and have a bevy of s*x-bots at your command why would you want real girls who might scream rape and cry foul in case something went awry. After all in case of the bot, all you need to do is clean the hard-disk and reset it to the original after the violence of a night, and all was ready to be back to normal. Any kind of s****l crimes to a real women was an offense punishable by castration and then death, so s*x-bots were the only option.

We were scanned by a punk robot at the doorway who checked us for our age. Fortunately, machines even though intelligent were still machines and could be fooled with the old-world tricks. My coach who was a retired colonel of the Special Forces taught me that.

Puck was true in his insight that we needed to be late in order to make an entrance. I was habituated with thousands of eyes looking at me and betting on my win in the ring but I was not at all habituated with the lascivious looks from the jocks and the men who were there lounging on the couches. Puck and I parted ways at the bar where he sauntered off with a pretty waitress who was a s*x bot in the garb of a hot Asian chick. I grinned at me as if he had won the jackpot and I asked for a cosmo with a hint of lime.

The bartender was a bot modified for pouring and mixing drinks and within a few seconds the drink was before me. I tossed my hair back once and pulled it to reveal my naked back and took the glass in my fingers as Puck had told me to.

“New to the town are you? Never seen in any of my parties before?” asked a cultured voice from my left side. I did not turn towards him immediately, I took a sip of the drink which burned down my throat and then looked at the owner of the voice.

“I am just visiting my cousin here…You know Dwayne right?” I asked as I gazed in the pair of most intense blue eyes I had ever seen. But I also sensed something else which I did not I was able to. I could clearly understand that he had psychopathic tendencies which made him prone to violence towards women.

“Yeah…I have heard of him…all the guys get their bots repaired by him only…” said Lazarus Lewis looking around the room trying to find Dwayne probably but then his eyes came back at the nape of my neck and I could see his fingers moving as if thinking of touching me.

“You have a lot of bots here, in our country we still think them as machines and they are used for menial jobs only,” I said with the accent that automatically came out of the modifier turned out to be English. I mentally cursed Puck for the prank he had played on me.

“Well what can I say? Our family loves ‘em and we can’t get enough of ‘em,” said the creep with a wink and I laughed out loudly as if amused by his joke showing him the glint of metal on my tongue, which actually was the modifier but was camouflaged as a piercing.

“Wow!! You got a piercing on your tongue and I used to think that the English girls are really reserved,” said Lazarus as he took a seat beside me.

“Oh!! They are, but most of them are…some are not…I fall in the latter category,” I replied with a wink.

“You are doing an incredible job darling for a first-timer!!” came in Puck’s voice from the comms in my ear.

“So why don’t we go someplace quieter, you know? And get to know each other a bit better? Then we will see what more secrets you have!!” said Lazarus as he smiled at me and his eyes glinted with a madness which I had never seen before. I smiled back at his offer. The fish had taken the bait.

The room was dark as it should be in order to make the victim restless and vulnerable. It was quite a long time since we both could hear the groaning of Lazarus who was handcuffed to the rails of the bed. It was a good thing that his s****l choices were so perverse that we got everything we need from his chest of playthings itself. The room had been sound proofed and I had not taken off my wig or my accent modifier.

“Wakey wakey honey!!” I said in a sugary sweet voice and I felt sick to the core.

“Who the f**k are you?” asked Lazarus in a groan and moan together at the same time and I could see that he was so damn hard underneath his jeans.

“Well, we were just acquainted down stairs at your party, and then you called me and brought me up here…don’t you remember?” I asked as the Asian s*x doll came forward with a whip and a knife in her hand. She had a violent and crazed look in her eyes.

“What have you done to her? Who are you? Why have you tied me up? Let me go you crazy b***h or else…”

“Or else what? You will get your friends to rape me after drugging me and then reset my memory? That is what you find your kick in isn’t it Lazarus? I wonder why your father named you after the Saint when you are nothing like him…are you a miracle Lazarus?” I asked him still speaking in that sugary sweet voice but this time venom as thick as tar dripped from my words.

“What are you even saying? I have no idea what you are saying at all, now let me go, you don’t know who my Dad is, if he comes to know that a hair on my body has been harmed then he is going to obliterate you to the very core of your existence!!!” shouted the boy while I kept smiling at him.

“Oh dear!! Who said anything about hurting you? I am going to do nothing of the sort, but your doll here will, after all she is yours…I have done nothing except doing this that now she remembers all the escapades that you and your dirty little friends have had with her and she is gonna return the favour at my command. You are going to be answered a few questions, now see there are a few rules to this game. You have to tell the truth or else your pretty little Asian mistress here is going to use both the articles in her hand as rampantly as she wishes,” I said as Puck was filming the entire thing from the dark. It was good to have some leverage in hand.

“I am not going to say anything you f*****g b***h!!” spat Lazarus as the s*x doll went forward and the whip landed on his shins with a resonating smack and he cried out in pain.

“What is it going to be? The easy way? Or the hard way?” was my question as I found Lazarus crying his hearts out.

“I will tell you everything, just don’t hit me please..” cried out the victim but before he could finish the sentence the assailing android whipped him once more and this time it was below his feet. Undoubtedly that hurt, and I just smiled.

“I am sure you will Lazarus, so how is it possible that you are still alive at twenty-three when all of your friends and classmates of your original batch are pretty much rolling in their graves?”

“I have noo idea man!!! Seriously what are you saying? I am just seventeen, I am not twenty-three!!” was his reply and I motioned the android once more and this time along with the whip she made a shallow cut with the knife near his collar bone. It was not going to be painful but it was going to bleed.

“Wanna try again?”

“I don’t know man, my Dad knows all this stuff, he has said that I am not supposed to tell anyone that I am older than I look, I don’t know any of the details man please let me go!!!” said Lazarus as Puck had kept the camera on stand-by video motion and was now hacking into the computer files in his room. I kept on questioning the boy but he seemed to be oblivious to any of the facts because as far as I understood that he was not aware of any of this information.

Then I got the go signal from Puck that he had got what he needed and we needed to leave. Needless to say I left Lazarus at the mercy of this robot who was going to keep him alive and torture him slowly enough for his father to discover them.
