RED REVENGE
Part 3
"He's okay," Ed assured the two anxious women.
"He's not hurt?" Mary demanded, searching Ed's eyes for the truth.
"No," Ed told them as he walked closer to where they stood.
Looking at Mary, Ed noticed the wretched state she was in, and his anger toward the men responsible increased.
"Did you talk to him?" This time it was Nessa who asked.
Ed shook his head. "No, he ...they drugged him," he confessed.
"But he's okay?" Mary pressed.
"Yeah," Ed assured her, "I'm sure it was nothing harmful," but the thing is, he wasn't sure of anything.
"Will he be all right? When will they let him go?"
"I don't know." Ed was tired of assuring and comforting everyone while he himself needed comforting the most.
"What did they tell you?"
"Nothing much," Ed sighed, "Just assured me Danny was okay and promised to let me talk to him the minute he wakes up."
"What do they want?"
"I don't know, okay!" Ed finally lost control and snapped, "All I know is that they're doing this to get back at me for God knows what reason!"
"Well we better figure out why and who soon." All eyes shifted to the direction of the new voice.
Mike was leaning on the door, arms crossed. "By the way, Sam called, Delinda's awake and wants to talk to you."
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
The first sensation that Danny felt upon regaining consciousness, was cold. He tried to shift his position to escape the unpleasant sensation and was instantly assaulted by a sharp pain splitting his head; the kind he usually experiences after over sleeping, and right now, it felt like he was sleeping forever. He grunted audibly.
"So you're finally awake."
Danny's eyes fluttered and he tried to concentrate on the wavering figure standing above him. After few tries, his vision finally cleared and looking up at the figure that somehow looked familiar, Danny searched his fuzzy memory for answers.
He realised after trying to touch his aching head, that both his hands were tied tightly behind him, and that he was lying on a hard cold floor of some strange place.
"He's awake."
Looking back at the man, Danny realised that he was speaking to someone on the phone.
"Yeah, I understand."
Suddenly and without warning, memories of what had happened came crushing to his mind, causing him to stiffen with panic.
"Hey kid," the man said after ending the call, "rise and shine; the boss wants to see you."
Danny gulped nervously. Another man came and each of them grabbed one of his arms and yanked him roughly to his feet. Danny hissed, but remained silent otherwise.
"You be a good boy now, and don't cause us any trouble."
"Where's Delinda?" Danny demanded with a reasonably strong voice.
"You mean the chick?" An evil smile crept to the man's lips, "Unfortunately she didn't make it."
Fear gripped at Danny's heart.
"Yeah, she wasn't as lucky as you were," the other man sneered.
"What do you mean?" Danny asked carefully, afraid of what the answer would be.
"It means what you heard, kid."
"You didn't...?"
"We did," The man told him with a smile.
"You killed her?" Danny couldn't believe, didn't want to believe what he was hearing.
"Yes, as a matter of fact, we did. It was our job, so don't get so riled up about it and besides, it's yourself you should worry about right now."
But Danny wasn't listening to him. His heart fell and his mind screamed..'This Can't Be Happening!'.
TBC.
