Darby paced back and forth as Caruso watched him. Darby was shaking his head as he wiped his hands on his dirty wife beater. Caruso crossed his arms and rolled his eyes, his face showing how pissed off he is getting with every passing minute. Darby looked over at the dirty bed and Denise. Denise was still spread eagle, completely naked, covered in blood and random cuts, marks, and some burns. Her ankles and wrists were still cuffed to the metal bed posts and her hair was matted, bloody, and covered some of her face.
"I don't know about this. Snuff film? You want us to make a video of a gang bang while she is being tortured and killed? When the Sons hear about that we are all dead men. Kidnapping and having a little fun is one thing, but you go making copies and a profit, the Sons will do worse to us than you want to do to her." Darby said and came to a stop, crossing his arms over his chest.
"Fuck the Sons. Caracara will soon be mine and the Sons will be gone. The Mayans may have backed down, but with you and Niners we are set. I already have a reach out to the IRA and once you start selling them guns, the Sons will die off like an old, useless virus. Now do what I say!" Caruso barked and Darby raised an eyebrow, then heard a noise from Denise.
"Please…" Her voice was barely above a whisper. She sounded like just breathing hurt as she lolled her head slightly. Caruso grabbed a syringe and looked at Darby.
"Will you do it, or do I have to find someone that will do what I want and get the profits too?" Caruso asked as he used a spoon and dropped a few rock like pieces onto it and started to melt it.
"You are going to want to water that down. That is really potent shit." Darby said, pointing out an issue with what Caruso was doing with the Heroin.
"Why would I want to do that?" Caruso asked as the liquid started to melt and bubble.
"That shit is 70% pure. You give her more than a little and she will die." Darby said and Caruso pondered this a moment. He looked at Natalie's naked body and then the liquid. He smirked and nodded, preparing the syringe.
"Do you know how much Snuff videos go for when it turns into Necrophilia? The feeling of a woman twitching and convulsing on your cock as she slowly dies is indescribable. The pussy muscles clench and release like a nonstop orgasm. People pay a lot more for that." Caruso nodded and tapped the syringe.
"You are deranged." Darby said and shook his head. Caruso grabbed the tourniquet and wrapped it around Denise's arm, tightening it sharply. He put the syringe to her arm.
"WAIT! Wait… Let me get two guys I know will make the movie. Let me get them there and you can have your snuff film, just don't kill her yet!" Darby exclaimed and grabbed the syringe from Caruso. Caruso stood up to his full height and nodded once.
"Make it quick. I can get it edited and online for sale by tomorrow morning. Move your ass." Caruso said and Darby nodded, putting the syringe on the table and walking away. Caruso looked down at Natalie and grabbed her nipple, tweaking it.
"I know just what you need.." He unbuttoned his pants and climbed on top of her. She opened her one slightly swollen eye and saw him. Her other eyes was swollen shut and triple the size. She felt as Caruso flapped his cock against her before shoving his cock into her. She let out a gurgling noise and her head hit against the metal bed post bars as Caruso rocked his hips, slamming into her. She let out a sob as Caruso bit and tore at her breasts with his teeth.
Jax, Clay, Hale walked around a building and looked into a dark window. Hale shook his head and rested his hand on his police belt, though his issued gun was gone and replaced with a personal gun. They tried the door and saw an old metal chain and rusted lock. Moving around the building, they checked every exit and Hale let out a sigh of frustration.
"This isn't it. Every door has not been used in years." Hale said and Jax punched the door, growling. Clay opened and closed his fist repeatedly as a vibrating was heard. Clay reached into his pocket and shook his head. He flipped it open and growled into the phone.
"Darby, when I get a hold of you I am going to cut your balls off and feed them to you." Clay said and both Hale and Jax looked at him. Clay put it on speaker phone.
"Listen to me. Caruso is going to use Denise in a snuff film. I am telling you this because he is far more deranged and crazy than I ever thought. We are at the old textile factory. In the back there is an office with a bed. That is where Denise is. My men will be gone, but I will hold Caruso off as long as I can." Darby hung up and Clay looked at the two men. Jax walked away and called into Opie, Chibs, and Tig.
"Call Tara and tell her to get as much medical gear as she can. AED, Ambu bag, Epi, whatever she can. If he plans on killing her we may need it all." Hale said and Clay walked towards the truck. Jax nodded and called Tara as they walked.
Darby walked into where Caruso was with Denise and gasps when he saw them. Caruso was on his knees next to her, tying rope around her breasts. Denise was no longer cuffed and was on her side as Caruso moved her legs apart and pulled her to the end of the bed, letting her legs fall over the side. Darby heard a noise and looked over as two of his men walked on. Caruso looked over and nodded.
"Good. Help me tie this rope to this bar." Caruso tied rope around her wrists, the same rope that was around her breasts and looped the rope through a pipe and tied both of her wrists to the rope so she couldn't move or close her arms. The two men walked over and looked at Darby, swallowing hard.
"Do it!" Caruso barked and Darby only nodded slightly. The two men worked on securing the rope. Darby watched as Denise's arms were forced apart and the rope got tighter and straighter. Her breasts turned a shade of reddish purple as the rope started to cut off circulation. Darby swallowed hard and looked out the door, as Caruso stood up, setting up the camera.
"Ok, this is how this will work…" Caruso explained to the two men and motioned in places on Denise. Darby saw movement and sighed softly. He looked back over and his eyes got wide as Caruso injected the syringe of 70% pure Heroin into Denise's arm.
"And… Action!" Caruso called out as the door was kicked in and all of the Sons that were available, some of the Mayans, and Hale ran in. Caruso turned and yelled as Darby's two men scattered and Darby ran. Caruso stood up and ran for the exit as Tig, Chibs, and the Mayans ran after him. Jax and Clay looked at Denise and Jax almost gagged. Opie came in and his eyes went wide. Hale ran over and started to cut the rope system.
"Jax help me!" Hale yelled and jumped back as the pipe with the rope fell with a clatter and Denise started to convulse and foam at the mouth. Hale grabbed her tried to stop her head from hitting the posts as he looked around. Jax continued to remove the rope and tried to remove them gently from her breasts. Opie just stood in the doorway, in shock, then ran out of the door.
"What is wrong with her?" Jax asked as Hale shifted Denise's body her muscles tightened up and foam dribbled out of her mouth, down her cheek, as Hale tilted her head and scooped the foam out. While doing that he felt for a pulse.
"Shit. I need Tara, Jax! Denise is in the middle of an overdose!" Hale pulled a box out of one of the pockets if his belt and opened it, dropping what looked like an epi pen into his hand. Jax nodded and ran out the door as Clay moved towards Hale, grabbing his arm.
"What are you doing?" Clay asked and Hale pulled away from him. Hale went back to holding Denise's head and scooping foam out of her mouth as Denise stopped convulsing and started to gurgle.
"Trying to save her. It's Narcan." Hale shoved the syringe into Denise's arm as Tara rushed in. Tara tried to move Clay as Opie walked in and Jax pulled on Clay to move him as Tara looked at Hale, dropping a large bag on the bed.
"She just finished convulsing. I gave her Narcan, but I have no idea how much she was given." Hale gave Tara the run down as Tara looked around in horror, then over Denise in disgust.
"What the hell happened to her?" Tara asked and Tig shoved Darby into the room. Tara looked up at Darby and Clay moved to him, slamming him into the wall a few times.
"TELL THEM WHAT HAPPENED TO HER!" Clay yelled and Opie walked over, putting a gun to Darby's head. Darby looked between the two of them and signed.
"He gave her pure Heroin. Three rocks worth. I tried to stop him." Darby said and Clay slammed a fist across his face, then Opie grabbed him and started hitting him.
"Tara…" Jax said and Tara handed him a bag and went into full doctor mode. She put her hand up to him and Hale helped her. Tara pulled out a string of electrodes and two larger electrodes and placed them in certain places on Denise's chest. A monitor turned on and showed an erratic heartrate and made alarm noises and rapid beeping.
"Tara, hand me that bag. I'll bag her." Hale said and Tara shook her head. She moved to Natalie's head and positioned her head, tilting it back. Tara pulled a plastic container out and opened it, pulling a long tube out. She grabbed the sterile metal scope and opened it, forcing it down Denise's throat. Everyone watched as Tara forced the tube down Denise's throat and grabbed the large plastic breathing bag and put on a stethoscope.
"Squeeze it." Tara said and Hale squeezed the bag a few times and Tara nodded. Tara mumbled something and Hale nodded, picking up Denise and laying her on the floor. Tara moved the monitor and pack and kneeled next to her.
"Jax.. Clay, Opie, I need you to call for an ambulance." Tara said in a calm, prepared tone. Jax nodded and called as Clay and Opie slammed Darby to the floor. Hale looked at Tara as he squeezed the bag every few seconds.
"Is she going to make it?" Clay asked and swallowed hard as Tara stayed kneeling next to Denise, monitoring her. Tara looked up at him and Opie and took a deep breath.
"She is very tachycardic, beaten to hell, and in the middle of an overdose I am hoping was stopped by the Narcan David used. I… I don't know." Tara said and Opie moved next to Tara and took Denise's dirty, blood covered hand.
"Denise… Baby… come on. You are stronger than this." Opie said softly as he brushed her matted hair back from her face. Tara watched him as Tig took Darby out of the room.
"Clay, take Jax and Opie and get to St. Thomas. We will be there as soon as the ambulance gets here." Tara said calmly and looked at Hale, who was still squeezing the bag every few seconds. Jax grabbed Opie and helped him up, forcing him towards the door. They walked out and Hale looked at Tara.
"Do I want to know how you got this equipment?" Hale asked and Tara shook her head.
"No." Tara said simply and Hale sighed. They both heard the ambulance and Hale got up to meet it so he could guide them into the areas Denise was in.
"You better pray she makes it." Clay said to Darby, who was hog tied in the trunk of a car as Clay slammed the lid down as Jax and Opie walked towards the ER Ambulance Bays. The sound of a siren was heard as an ambulance pulled in and backed in. Jax, Opie, and Clay walked towards it as the doors were thrown open and Tara jumped out, helping the medics pull the gurney out.
"27 year old female, heroin overdose while kidnapped and tortured. Three doses of Narcan given, pulse is weak, intubated at scene, two seizures en route." The paramedic said as Tara met with Jax, Opie, and Clay. They all walked behind the gurney as it was pushed into a room.
"Where is Darby?" Tara asked. Jax told her and Opie paced in front of the room Denise was pushed into. Tara nodded to Jax and watched as Clay opened and closed his fists, looking at his knuckles.
"Is she gunna be ok?" Jax asked Tara and Tara shrugged with a shake of her head.
"No clue. I am hoping the Narcan will stop the heroin progressing through her body, but pure heroin is extremely dangerous. Caruso screwed her up, bad." Tara said and Jax cursed as a doctor came out and Opie cornered him. Jax put his hand on Opie's shoulder and pulled him back slightly. The doctor nodded to Tara and let out a sigh.
"She is being moved to the ICU and her blood work has been sent off for testing. She has a lot of bruising, cuts, and her shoulder was dislocated. Rope burn, bite marks, and severe vaginal trauma. We gave her rape kit to Hale, who will use it for his investigation. We need to know if you want to give her the morning after pill." The doctor said and looked at all of them. Their looks of confusion made Tara nervous.
"It's a pill to terminate a pregnancy before it takes hold." Tara said and Opies jaw clenched and his face got an indescribable look of anger and revenge. He nodded once and Tara took a deep breath and nodded to the doctor.
"Do it, Tim. Will there be a EEG?" Tara asked and the doctor nodded.
"Once she is settled upstairs Neurology will be consulted. I know what you are asking and her pupils are not fixed or dilated. I am not sure the level of brain activity, but I think there is hope." The doctor said and Tara let out a long sigh.
"Thanks, Tim." Tara said and looked at the small group. Jax, Clay, and Opie looked at her and she swallowed hard.
"Don't… just go." Tara said and motioned to the door. Jax kissed her forehead and Clay nodded, walking out as Opie stood there.
"I'll call if there is any change. Go Op, do what you need to do." Tara said and Opie looked into the room's window as Nurses worked on Denise. He took one last look at Denise and nodded, walking after Jax and Clay.
Denise sat at her dining room table and stared at her mother. The elder Denise looked no older than 25, and the two women looked at each other. Elder Denise drummed her fingers on the table as she smiled to her daughter. Denise raised her eyebrows and looked from her mother's face to her hands.
"You are not ready yet." Elder Denise said and Denise pursed her lips.
"Not ready for what?" Denise asked crossing her arms over her chest.
"To join me. Your father needs you. Harry needs you." Elder Denise said and Denise took a deep breath.
"Why am I here, then?" Denise asked and Elder Denise shrugged softly.
"You aren't ready to go back." Elder Denise said and Denise tilted her head.
"When you go back, tell your father I said he was my knight in white satin." Elder Denise said softly and smiled to her daughter.
"Your song, I get it." Denise smirked and ran her hands through her hair, wincing slightly.
"Go on, you're ready now." Elder Denise said reached over, patting her daughter's hand.
"I don't want to yet. I want to get to know you." Denise said and winced again, holding her chest.
"You know more than you think." Elder Denise smiled and Denise doubled over in her chair.
"You know what we do. You know how we are about family. Yet, you tried to destroy mine." Clay said, pacing in front of two people hanging upside down from bars. Clay looked at the two men as they swayed slightly.
"What, the fuck, made you think you could do that to us? What makes you think that trying to destroy my family would make your life any easier?" Clay said and nodded as Tig raised a baseball bat and slammed it into the abdomen of the first man. The man let out a gurgled grunt and Opie kicked him in the face.
"Now, we do to you, what you did to her and Piney and our club." Clay said as Caruso was turned over and bent backwards, so his hips were jutting out and his feet and ankles were forced closer together. Tig smiled as he got the blow torch and lit it. Opie watched and Jax crossed his arms as they both stared with hatred in their eyes.
"Tig…" Clay said and Tig started using the blowtorch on Caruso's genital area. Screams of agony and pain were heard as the body tried to writhe, but couldn't move due to the awkward position. Clay took in a deep breath and looked at the Mayans that were there.
"We got this. The other Nords are tied up in the other room. We will care of them too." One of the Mayans said and Clay nodded, shaking his hand. Opie, Jax, and Clay headed for the door. The three of them walked out as the screams and smell of burning flesh was heard and smelled.
