"Deep Cover" Chapter 4
by Lorrie
"Are you going to deny it?" Tony asked as Marty still held the .45 to the back of Gage's head. Gage shook his head. "What about Gena? Is she a Ranger too?"
Gage thought about his wife before answering. "She has nothing to do with this. You bastards had better leave her alone." Gage could feel the rage burning inside of him.
"I don't think you're in any position to be giving orders, Ranger." Marty replied as he pushed the gun further into the base of Gage's neck.
Tony pulled the car onto a deserted little dirt road and turned off the engine. "Get out!" He yelled to Gage. Gage slowly opened the door. "Personally, I'd like nothing better than to just blow your head off and be done with it, but Gino wants you to suffer."
"Put your hands behind your head." Marty instructed. Gage began to comply without resistance, then suddenly he pivoted on his left foot and crashed his right leg into Marty's arm sending the .45 to the ground.
While Marty and Gage were scuffling, Tony scrambled for the gun. Marty was getting the best of Gage, he threw two back to back upper cuts into Gage's ribs, then a solid right hook into his jaw. Gage tried to swing back, but Marty being larger than Gage, was able to keep him at bay. Gage finally mustered up enough strength to throw two massive kicks to Marty's chest, sending Marty sprawling to the ground.
Tony grabbed the .45 and fired one shot into Gage's upper right thigh, knowing that this would put a stop to the massive kicks Gage had been able to throw. Gage's legs buckled underneath him from the pain in his right leg.
Marty smiled. "Get him on his feet Tony and hold him." Tony pulled Gage up to a standing position sending a fresh wave of pain through Gage's body. Gage cried out as everything around him began to turn black.
Marty returned from the car carrying a wooden baseball bat. Tony patted Gage's cheek and he began to stir. Marty smiled an evil grin as he stood in front of Gage. "I played in the Minor Leagues for a few years, so I do know how to use this." As Tony continued to hold Gage, Marty took a swing at his right leg, just above the entry point of the bullet. Gage screamed out, certain that the mighty blow had broken his leg. He crumpled to the ground, holding his injured leg.
Marty didn't let Gage's screams deter him from his mission. He lifted the baseball bat and brought it down hard into Gage's ribs. Before he had time to recover, Marty hit him again on his right shoulder. "Get him up Tony." Marty instructed gruffly.
As Tony lifted Gage to his feet, Marty put down the bat and pulled out a small length of rope. He tied Gage's hands together above his head. Marty lifted the hatch of the Cherokee Laredo they had driven and secured the remaining rope to the top. This pulled Gage to a full standing position, leaving his tender ribs and stomach area exposed and plenty of swinging room for Marty.
Marty took a batter's stance in front of Gage, then swung into his stomach causing Gage to momentarily lose his breath. He raised his head slightly, just as Marty swung again, this time into Gage's ribs. Marty continued to beat Gage in this manner until Gage began to cough up blood.
Satisfied that he had broken Gage's ribs, Marty instructed Tony. "Turn him around."
"Marty, he's had enough."
"Gino wants him to suffer. I don't think he's suffered enough. Turn him around." Tony loosened the rope and struggled to turn Gage around and re-secure him so that his back was now facing Marty.
Marty picked up the bat and again began swinging into Gage's already tormented body. After eight stokes, Marty put on a pair of leather gloves and punched Gage in the ribs a couple of times, then had Tony to release him.
Gage sunk to the ground, tired, beaten and defeated, but Marty wasn't quite finished. He sat down on top of Gage and started punching his face. He continued to deliver the blows until Gage's face was completely bloodied and bruised. He was barely recognizable.
Marty got up and checked Gage's neck for a pulse. It was still there, but very weak. "Ok Tony, let's roll him into that ditch over there." Marty pointed at a ditch on the side of the road.
"Aren't you going to finish the job?" Tony asked.
"No. I'm going to let him go out suffering. We'll drive out here tomorrow evening, if he's still alive then, I'll finish him." Marty and Tony got into the Cherokee and left. Leaving a motionless Gage behind.
