Aftermath chapter 3
Warning: torture.
Thirty minutes after midnight, Frank and the newlyweds were done. They were exhausted. Their guests has departed some time ago.
Frank addressed the newlyweds, "Joe,you and Vanessa will go on ahead. I'll join you. Later. I need to go to the bathroom."
Sewell masquerading as a waiter was there and he saw Joe and Vanessa leave. He saw Frank move towards the men's bathroom. "Now's my chance. I can make Joe rue the day he messed with me by kidnapping his elder brother and torturing him to the brink of insanity."
Sewell as the waiter moved towards the bathroom and saw Frank. Frank was washing his hands when a handkerchief covered his nose and mouth. Chloroform Frank's brain supplied before he enveloped into the darkness. Sewell carried Frank and slowly sneaked him off having paid of a hearse driver. Sewell stripped Frank and bound, gagged and blindfolded him. He was transported to the Crescent Hall which was one-and-a-half-hour away. Frank was kept inside a room and locked inside. Sewell paid a slave driver to hurt him as much as possible without resorting to sodomy. Just kissing and French kissing were allowed.
Frank was on a prisoner-on the balls of his feet, his feet were at secured with a rope . His wrist were secured with rope so tightly that his skin turned discolored. It broke the skin and abrasions w
A few hours later Frank stirred.
"Frank, good to see you alive."
"Let me go you bastard. You won't use me as bait to lure my brother".
Sewell punched Frank across the face. "Feisty are we? I don't want Joe,he's broken goods. But even so, hurting you is much more fun. Two for one."
"Lets go over the rules. One, you belong to me. Two, you'll obey my command day or night. Three, failure to abide by these rules, you will be punished. Four,you'll never get to eat.
"You bastard. You can't do this to me"
"I think twenty lashes ought to give you an attitude adjustment."
Frank was whipped twenty times. The regularity of the lashes as it whistled through the air and landed on his back was excruciating. He wondered how Joe suffered and for a brief, weak moment wished that it had been Joe who was captured at not him.
"Please, don't." Frank begged. His back was inflamed and swollen. After he was beaten, Frank struggled to stand on his own two feet. His legs gave way and he nearly collapsed on the ground until Sewell yanked him by his now bloodied wrists, eliciting a weak groan from Frank.

"Joe,Frank is going to be okay." Vanessa assured her husband. "Please stop pacing and sit down. You know as well as i that we can't report him because it hasn't been forty-eight hours yet. Come on,Joe, Frank is as tough as nails."
"I don't want Sewell to use him to get to me. I'll never forgive myself."
"I'm sure Frank won't blame you."
"Look, we need to stay positive,Joe and im certain Frank will return to us because he has family that won't give up on him."
"You're right,Van. Joe kissed his wife. " I love you,Van. I don't know what i would if I lost you. Just hang on,bro. You never gave up on me;I'm never giving up on you. I'll find you and bring you home. I promise. "
"Rally the gang. We have to find Frank"

A bucket of water was splashed on Frank and his numerous injuries screamed in protest. Ten minutes later, Sewell took his cane and started to cane him.
"Joe is not your brother. He killed Callie to make you suffer."
"That's not true. Sewell." Frank started to protest. Joe will definitely find me.
After ten strokes of the cane, Frank's back was inflamed. Sewell inserted a damp cloth inside his mouth and splashed hot water on his torso. Frank didn't bother to hold in his cries anymore. The gag muffled his screams and this continued two, maybe three more times before Frank went limp. Taking the cloth from his face and then stuffed it in his mouth and then sealed it with duck tape. He dangled a 15-inch knife in front of his eyes and made sure that Frank could see every inch of it . He stabbed the top part of his right leg. Frank screams were muffled and he moaned as the ropes chafed his wrists. Unsatisfied, he drove the knife in further, causing him to incessantly whimper emitting from his mouth. He took it out half way and then plunged it all at once, causing him to struggle and cry out in pain. A few minutes later, he took it out in one smooth swoop.
Sewell took a a bottle of alcohol and poured the contents into his throat.

The gang has been searching for Frank for forty eight hours before declaring him kidnapped. "Guys, anything?" . Joe asked the gang as they searched for Frank.
"Don't we're not giving up."
"If Sewell hurts him because of me,i can never look him in the eye ever again."
"Joe,you're not to blame for Sewell."
"I promised dad that I will look out for him and I failed. Sewell may destroy the only biological family I have left I have no idea where the fuck he is. He's going to make Frank believe that i hated Callie and drill those lies into him."
"How do you know?" Vanessa asked in a polite tone so she wouldn't seem condescending.
"Because he tried to do it to me." With that,Joe told them the untold truth that happened between Sewell and him.
"Vanessa what is it?"
"Sewell captured you and put you in the abandoned place next to the hospital. Do you think Frank could be taken to somewhere close to our reception hall say crescent hall. That's an hour from the reception hall.
Joe smacked his head and kissed Vanessa. "Old habits die hard,huh?"
Vanessa, please make sure Nancy doesn't do anything stupid. Phil and Tony with me so you can escort Frank. Chet call an ambulance. In case Frank needs medical attention and/or if this case goes south.
"Vanessa, I still think Joe's not the man for you. You shouldn't have married a selfish prick. See, he's faking his limp."
"I'm not faking my limp" Joe replied heatedly. Even now,Joe got slightly uncomfortable whenever somebody insinuated he was faking his limp. Or mentioned it.
"Joe,If you're injured like you proclaimed then why are you here? I think you murdered Callie. The sudden statement caught everyone off guard.
"That's not true, Callie and I were friends. I'm not going to sit here and justify my relationship when my brother is missing."
"Joe,please let me handle this" Vanessa assured her husband.
She made her way towards Nancy and slapped her across the cheek. Hard, surprising the others. "Nancy, I don't need you to tell me a million reasons why I shouldn't be with him. His heart is always in the right place. He's also compassionate, loving and kind. If you can't be nice to Frank or even Joe,then get out. We can find Frank on our own."
"Fine then." Nancy snapped. "See if I care. If Sewell had killed you, i would've been celebrating your death not moaning your death" she turned on her heela and left.
The colour drained from Joe's face and the friends also sported similar expressions of shock and disbelief.
"Joe,forget her. Lets concentrate on finding Frank, okay." Nancy slapped him and said, "you're dragging Frank down. Frank has had enough, losing Callie and now he's stuck with YOU.
The gang spilt up and Phil, Tony and Joe went to crescent hall which was two hours from where they were.

Sewell dragged him by his wrists and he put pressure on his injured ankle as he was made to walk forward.
Joe,Phil, Tony and Chief Collig and Con barged in.
"Please... stop torturing me. Torture Joe instead. He deserves it. I don't. He's the broken one." Frank begged him. He didn't notice Joe inside the room nor the crestfallen expression on Joe's face but it was changed to one of concern as he knew that Frank would never say that.
Frank was so delirious from the lack of food and sleep that he threw his brother underneath the bus. " Mission accomplished. You're free to go. Tell Joe that I won't bother him anymore."
"Tell him yourself." Joe yelled. Sewell turned around and spotted Joe glaring at him.
"Phil, Tony please take Frank and get out of here. He needs medical attention. When he saw that Phil was trying to argue. "Do as I say, please. I can't lose him. I'll be fine. Look after my brother until I get there and don't tell Frank about what he said. He didn't mean it... ever since this bastard has targeted me,Frank always blamed himself. I don't want to throw him over the edge."
His friends did as he asked. Phil untied Frank's bounds and he and Tony supported him and placed him in the ambulance where he was whisked away to the nearest hospital. The friends rode with him. On the way Vanessa was called and she came to the hospital as quickly as he could, unshed tears in her eyes as Frank has been found. She knew Joe was going to be okay.

"As for you , I'm going to whip Joe twenty five times, make six incisions on his ribs before you arrest me. If not, I'll take my gun and put a bullet through Frank's skull. Not wanting to lose his brother ,Joe agreed. Sewell stripped Joe's clothes and whipped him. The whip was brandished against Joe's back with a regularity that was so frightening as it whistled through the air and landed on his back. He never knew that twenty five strikes could last so long and his legs have given way. He didn't bother to hold in his cries. "Whatever is happened to you is all Frank's fault he taunted as he whipped Joe.
"Your mind games don't work on me anymore. Frank would never said that to me.". Joe said,his tone unwavering and firm. It didn't. Joe was finally able to move on and wasn't petrified of Sewell anymore.
Sewell took a scalpel removed the protective layer before making six incisions on Joe's ribs (three on the left and three on the right). The incisions were two inches deep on each side. Joe screamed in pain. The welts on Joe's back coloured over his scars that he received two months ago and the incisions needed stitches.
After Sewell had finished, they arrested him, cited him his rights and escorted him to prison a more secure location.
Joyful tears rolled down Joe's cheeks as Sewell was finally captured and he had his brother back. That chapter in his life was permanently closed and a new chapter begins... he's ready to adopt children when he and Vanessa are emotionally, physically and financially ready. He knew that he needed to be there for his brother and his wife.
I didn't want to rehash punishment that I gave to Joe. Don't worry... the torture is finished. Please review and comment.
