THE NINTH THE WORST CIRCLE OF THE INFERNO DANTE INTENDED IT FOR TRAITORS ( alija izetbegovic ) the sun began to set , retreating behind the wall of trees off on the horizon . painting brilliant colors across the sky , it was a beautiful summer eve and the day had been productive . inside the belly of the stronghold was a deputy staci pratt ( a gift to be given to jacob later on ) bound to a chair , ungagged of course . the tape of howling / screaming / cursing would be reviewed later . enjoyed , later . eyes close briefly and fingertips touch to throat as chin lifts and face upturns toward the sky . a smile . a moment in time as in the distance explosions , screaming . it would all be over soon , the end was near . for them , at least .
the gates to the compound yawned open , a hellish screech as metal scraped against metal . a small convoy entered , three heavily armed trucks . they emptied out , two of those loyal to the brothers and sister faith brought this new toy with hands tied behind back and bag over her head . " oh now , is that really necessary ? " of course it was and silence ensued , knowing it was a rhetorical question . the bag was removed in a bit of a rough fashion , exposing the captured deputy . " hudson , was it ? yes yes your partner staci pratt told me about you . " the baptist offered a grin , all teeth and malice and an eagerness that lit up blue eyes with hellfire itself . " lovely man , pratt . my brother will have a field day with him . wonderfully pliant . " not really a compliment .
both hands raise , each making a dismissive swatting motion . " i'm sorry , i'm getting off subject here , welcome ! welcome deputy hudson . " one hand behind his own back now as the other was used to gesture , " you know i'm so , so glad you've been brought to me . i have quite a few questions about the new person you have helping out this little .. failed resistance . i hope you don't mind .. " a step closer toward the other . eyes unblinking , staring , watching . that smile was still there but different now , predatory . hungry . " .. if we chat for a while . " voice lowered .
