14. Forced Mutism
Reno had a mouth on him; everyone around the Turk office could vouch for it. The only thing that was muffling his speech pattern now was gums and teeth lacquered with blood. To dilute his senses, they opted to blindfold him and bind his wrists. An easy tactic that would break a weaker man. For hours the torture was repeated, a question asked and a blow to the head sentenced when the tongue that was quick to rattle off vulgarities was silenced. These men meant business. After surrounding the location that Rufus was last seen, they knew the President was within the walls of a building they had scoped out. They managed to separate one Turk, incapacitate another, and now only Reno remained with his face marked with just as much red as the mane that graced his hair. Rufus would have poised as a threat had they not been able to land a clean shot in his arm, the primary source of his power when it came to slinging his customized weapon from his company. They knew Rufus was an excellent marksman and proceeded with caution on cornering him. They were at a race – their prize was no good dead.
