Chapter 34

Torture

Scarlet: Ladies and Gentlemen we have before us, Simon Seville. Now I know you were all planning on Alvin Seville but due to unforeseen circumstances, we were not able to get him. Now for what you have been waiting for!

Scarlet then gets behind Simon.

Scarlet: Care to guess what I am about to do Simon?

Simon: NO!

Scarlet: I thought as much. She says smirking.

She then lifts Simon's sweater off of him leaving Simon stripped of all his clothes except for his underwear.

Simon: WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?

Scarlet: Simon keep your mouth shut and go along with this.

Simon: NO I REFUSE! He turns his head and spits in Scarlet's face.

Scarlet: Oh you shouldn't have done that Simon!

Simon: What are you going to do about it! He says in an angry voice.

Scarlet: Fans it's time for our first punishment. If you like what you are about to see don't forget to tip generously!

Scarlet then goes to a chest sitting off in a dark corner and grabs something and holds it behind her back.

Scarlet: Simon would you like to apologize for what you did?

Simon spits in her face again.

Scarlet laughs.

Scarlet: I was hoping that would be your answer. She says with a smile.

Scarlet: Simon everything we do to you here will leave a scar on you. If it's not a physical scar it will be a mental scar. What I am about to do will leave both.

Simon: What are you going to d….

Just then Scarlet punches Simon hard in the stomach.

Simon is trying hard to catch his breath but then Scarlet finally shows what she went and got. A heavy metal bar.

She then starts beating Simon senseless. She starts bashing his face with the bar and the hitting his chest even harder she has broken several of Simon's ribs.

Benjamin then runs over to Scarlet and grabs the bar.

Benjamin: That enough! Do you want to kill him!?

Scarlet then jerks the bar out of his hand.

Scarlet: Very well then. Simon, you get off easy thanks to him. If you ever spit on me again I will make sure that you pay dearly! She then storms off followed by Benjamin and Robert.

Simon is left all alone. He is struggling to breathe with blood dripping from his face.

Simon: What am I going to doooooo.

Simon then passes out from the incredible amount of pain he is in.

Back at home:

Dave: I know it's going to be hard but you boys need to get to bed.

Alvin: Get to bed! How can you even say such a thing when my brother is missing!

Dave: Alvin I understand how you feel but don't you raise….

Alvin: You can't possibly understand what I am feeling! Simon means so much to me! He says as he falls to his knees and begins to cry.

Dave: Alvin, Simon is my son just like you and Theodore. He means a lot to me as well. So while you may not think I understand what you are feeling I do.

Alvin continues to cry. Theodore then comes over and gets Alvin up on his feet.

Theodore: Come on Alvin lets go upstairs.

Theodore then turns Alvin to the stairs and they both make their way upstairs.

Dave: Poor Alvin. First my accident then Simon disappearing. I hope they find Simon soon. He says talking to himself.

Dave then makes his way upstairs to tuck Alvin and Theodore into bed.

When Dave walks in he sees Alvin on his bed curled up in a ball crying with Theodore sitting beside him trying to comfort him.

Dave picks up Alvin.

Dave: Theodore will you pull back the covers?

Theodore: Yes Dave.

Theodore pulls back the covers and Dave lays Alvin down and pulls the covers back over him.

Dave: Alvin this is hard on all of us. But know one thing. Know that we will find Simon. He says while stroking Alvin's head. He then kisses Alvin's forehead.

Dave: Ok Theodore get into your bed.

Theodore: I think I will sleep with Alvin tonight.

Dave: Good idea Theodore.

Theodore then gets under the covers with Alvin. Dave kisses him goodnight then leaves the room.

Theodore: Alvin, Dave is right we will find Simon!

Alvin: I hope so. If not I don't know what I will do! He says still crying

Theodore then wraps his arms around Alvin to comfort him.

The boys finally fall asleep.

Dave is in his bed just laying looking at the ceiling.

Dave: I don't understand. Why Simon? Why has there been no demand? Not even a phone call! I still can't believe this is happening!

Back to Simon:

Scarlet: Is he still passed out!?

Robert: Yep.

Benjamin: You went too far, Scarlet!

Scarlet: Don't you dare raise your voice to me! You know what I am capable of!

Benjamin: Yes boss.

Scarlet: That's better! Now take this Taser and wake him up!

Benjamin: Yes boss.

Benjamin then goes in and uses the Taser on Simon.

Simon then wakes up screaming.

Benjamin: Please forgive me, Simon. He says whispering to him.

Benjamin then goes back into the other room.

Scarlet: My, you certainly know how to use one of those. I loved his scream and so did the fans. She says smiling.

Benjamin: Anything else you want me to do?

Scarlet: No not tonight. I think I will go torment him some more.

Scarlet then goes out to Simon.

Simon: What do you want!?

Scarlet: My such an attitude. But I will break that in due time.

Simon: Not if I escape first!

Scarlet: You escape! She starts laughing hysterically. So much that she starts to cry.

Simon: What's so funny!?

Scarlet: No one has ever escaped. They only leave one of two ways.

Simon: Oh and how is that?

Scarlet: When we can no longer use them we let them go and then leave town or…..

Scarlet then pulls out a knife and holds it to Simon's neck.

Scarlet: Or we dispose of them by killing them!

Simon: Which one will you do to me?

Scarlet: It's far too early to tell. But since you gave the best laugh I have had in years I won't hurt you anymore… Tonight.

Scarlet: Sleep well, Simon! She says as she walks off.

Simon's thoughts:

There has to be a way out of here! If I stay they will kill me. He then starts to tear up. If I would have let Alvin and Theodore wait for me I would not be in this mess! I could have been at home in bed with my love! Simon then has a sharp shooting pain and starts coughing up blood. THE PAIN! I….. I CAN'T STAND IT! Simon soon passes out again.
