It took him four nails and an incessant amount of screaming to give us the password.

I remained relaxed in my seat and punched in the password he had given.

His phone unlocked and I began to scroll through his messages and call logs.

There were several calls from unknown numbers, I cross-referenced them with his messages and saw he had received messages from two of those numbers.

Reading them, I found that someone had shared Arata’s pictures taken just outside her apartment building and even in the parking lot of our office.

The complete information of where she was going to be on Monday night had been shared with him about four days ago.

She was on vacation four days ago and wasn’t even aware I was going to take her to the event. But a whole lot of people in the office knew. Azbial and his whole security team knew because I had informed them beforehand about my plus-one.

Anyone could have leaked the information to him. But this much was evident that I had a mole nearby and once I was going to find him or her, there was no saving them.

"Who sent you these messages about her?" I asked, keeping my voice controlled but deadly.

His screaming had somewhat ceased as a pool of blood had gathered under his tied hands.

"...I don’t...know, they only corresponded with me through text...threatening my family...I was forced to do this," he answered, shaking from the pain. His snout and tears had mixed together and yet I felt no pity for him.

He hurt her; he shouldn’t have hurt her.

"You could have gone to the police. Instead, you went along and tried to kidnap my girlfriend. I should bury you alive and let the worms feast on your body," I couldn’t keep the vitriol and threats leaking into my voice.

"Please! Believe me, I had no choice..." He begged.

"You did, you just made the wrong one and crossed the wrong people. Where were you going to meet him?" I asked, turning my sight towards his phone again.

"That information was never revealed; they said to only contact them if I successfully retrieve the girl from the place and confirm it with a picture of her tied up."

The enemy was smart and knew what they were doing. There might have been more than one person.

Taking out my cell phone, I opened the pictures I had taken from Arata’s cell phone and checked the numbers against the one Arata had received a threat from.

None of them matched since all of them were burners, and I assumed a different number was used every time so they wouldn’t be tracked.

Frustrated, I wanted to pull my hair but control was needed at that moment.

Lifting my face, I glanced in the man’s direction.

"Did you ever speak to them on the phone?"

He nodded.

"Yes, but I think a voice changer was being used. That was not a natural voice."

Of course. This man had nothing further to offer and his existence was surging my temper. Before I could decide his fate, my phone rang. Swiping on the receiving button, I attended the call from Caysir.

"Sir, Miss Arata has been discharged. Should I take her home?"

"Yes, I will be right there after I am done here."

A tiny amount of relief settled in my heart, knowing she would be home once I was going to return.

Ending the call I faced the man who was watching me with guilt and hope.

"Whom did they threaten in your family?" I asked, watching him with disgust.

I got up and tossed his phone towards Olphi while pocketing mine.

"My sister and niece. They are all I have. They told me that I would find their pieces in bags if I didn’t do as was asked of me."

I took a menacing step towards him and stood with my arms crossed, watching him as if he were a spider I was about to trample under my boot.

"Right, give their details to Olphi and I will ensure they are never harmed and always taken care of." His face flashed confusion while I continued. "You, on the other hand, are never seeing the light of the day again."

The terror played on his face like fractured light as he began his ramblings which I tuned him out. I never listened to people whose life didn’t mean anything to me.

Right now, this man’s life was nothing to me. He was inconspicuous, an enemy who had hurt someone I had begun to care too deeply about.

Turning to Olphi, I asked for his dagger. He quietly handed it to me without any questions.

"Get all the required information from him and send him to Sparia. I never want to see his face again." Olphi gave me an understanding nod and only watched the man with contempt.

The man squirmed, he yelled and begged. The chair rattled as he tried to set himself free of the shackles but he had absolutely nowhere to go.

Clasping the dagger from the cold hilt, I brought it down on his bound right hand in quick succession and then repeated the process twice.

The blood, thick and in the shade of rubies sputtered out along with his feral screams. But I didn’t care in the least, these hands would never hurt her again.

Taking my time, I ensured that by the time I was done, he wouldn’t have functional hands, only a bloody mess.

The tiny drops of red gore covered my face, but I had no regrets; all my emotions had been turned off, and I was as cold as everyone believed me to be.

This man had brought out the worst part of me. I could only assume what I was going to do to the man who was behind all this mess.

Once I was done, I dropped the dagger on the floor and stepped back.

"Clean up the mess, Olphi. I am going home." I stepped away and Olphi quietly handed me a napkin.

Without looking back, I walked off wiping my face and hands with the white napkin, snatching its innocence and dyeing it red.

Home, I needed to go home and see her. Maybe some of this coldness would be thawed by her warm presence because my mind was in a really dark place.
