>> “only to be plucked once more, correct?” no one dare be away for long. the warden would find them. he always did like a mutt in hunting season.timing too perfect. cruel &&. wicked. right as peace was cast down. perhaps they’d begun to live again, find love, happiness. only for that new, beautiful painting to be shredded &&. what one felt was solid soil to crumble beneath. sadistic, a word that may be an understatement. but what else was there to describe it. dark eyes never give a hint of where his gaze is cast. merely pitch black orbs that take in light. absorb it. never give it back. never reflect. hollow. dead. however. features twist &&. describe anger. incoming aggression. annoyance. “QUIET. no change shall be made. here below is perfect, not requiring change. or that tongue. but i digress, we’ve got business. years of scheduled injections, unanswered! it’s time to play catch up!”
“I wouldn’t touch a hair on my head, actually.” He leans back, kicking his feet up onto the Warden’s desk. The confidence gained after his escape will only cause him more pain, but he’s not about to drop it for the sake of pleasing the madman before him. “See, I think you know by now that I always get myself into shit situations. Killing my parents was probably the first mistake I made... but...” he shakes his head before tilting it ever so slightly. “I owe these guys quite a lot of money. If I don’t turn up with it tomorrow, they’ll be looking for me. I know you’re all... high and mighty... and pretty scary on the eyes, but these guys have drugs and guns... and well, I mean, I think they could bust that elevator down, don’t you think?”
It’s a pointless intimidation tactic. Anyone who dares go down there will be destroyed. No amount of freedom was able to wipe those memories of mutilated children out of his mind. The dogs. The blacksuits. Not even the mafia could get through that. But it’s comforting to think it’s possible. “You know what I’m talking about, right? I’m sure you’ve caught up on my latest mishaps. I’m kinda popular out there in the hired gun community.”
