“No less than the bitch deserves for stepping out of line,” Mitchell replied. “Silly cow thought she could escape us.”

The three of them laughed.

“You’re a sick cunt, Mitch,” Troy said.

“He’s the sick cunt,” Mitchell said, pointing at the screen.

It was clear on the screen there were two people naked, but what they were doing was hard to make out.

“Well, at least now you know what we do to girls who step out of line,” Chuck said, looking at Troy.

“The family business. They make us rich men. Our property is most profitable,” Mitchell said, a grin apparent on his face.

They laughed again. Chuck looked back at the screen and scrunched up his face.

“Even I think he’s wrong in the head. Who gets turned on by that?”

“Frazier clearly.”

“Sick fuck,” Troy chimed in.

“Sick fuck indeed.”

The video ended. Avery stared down at the blank screen with confusion on her face.

“Play the next video.”

I didn’t want to see this again, but she had to understand. Had to see what the men in her world did to people. And she would understand why Frazier Shaw was not a man you messed with.

Avery hit play and her face went white as a sheet. It was a clip of what her father, her uncle and her father’s cousin had been watching. I didn’t want her to see the whole thing because it was so sickening, it made me throw up the first time I’d seen it.

A naked girl tied up with leather straps and rope. Her body was covered in bruises. She was on her knees, staring up at Frazier.

“So, little girl, I heard you tried to escape us? Did anyone ever tell you that running away never solves anything?”

“No, please, sir, please. I’m sorry. I’m sorry.”

“Sorry isn’t good enough.”

He picked up a ball gag from the table beside him. The table which held various torture implements. Her eyes went wide with fear.

Frazier approached her. She closed her mouth, shaking her head. He grabbed her face, forcing her mouth open again.

“Say ahhh.”

He stuck it in her mouth and tightened the straps around her head. He picked up a drill next, pressing his finger down and making it whirl.

Tears fell down the girls face as Frazier kicked her down onto her back. He knelt beside her and held her leg steady.

“I’m going to make you bleed, little girl. Bleed all over me and then I’m going to fuck you until you bleed some more.”

He lowered the drill to her leg.
