Having turned the tables on the mobster and co, now it's time for their retribution.
For those of a nervous disposition, this chapter contains gratuitous violence and torture. Chapter 5 commences where this ends.
Chapter 4 -- Retribution
I told Joanna between fervent kisses that her parents and sister were safe. She should leave now because she wouldn't like to see what was about to happen.
She refused, "I'm staying. I promised to cut his balls off and I always keep my promises."
I knew that look. "Okay, but if you get squeamish just leave."
Tim came back. They had established that the women prisoners were there to take care of the Police Officers and guards' needs. They were extremely badly treated and wished to deal with them in the dungeon.
Iain said, "No arguments here." A smiling Tim walked away.
Andrew had opened out his tool bag. We had seen it before and knew it was not an ordinary tool kit.
By now, Sonia and Johnson had come round if still slightly muddled. They seemed to think they were still in control.
"My men will be here soon and you will pay for all this," he shouted.
Almost on cue, we could hear loud explosions and the sound of machine guns and helicopters. Even Iain looked surprised at the sound of a cannon buzzsaw going off. Later we found the brother of one of the SCU guys was an A10 pilot and he had been briefed about the operation. He and three other pilots joined in. They rearmed and headed for the whorehouse and their support assisted the Apaches and Fusiliers to turn the five thousand men there to mash pulp in fifteen minutes.
"Who do you want to start with?" asked Andrew.
Cheryl almost collapsed when I said her name.
"It's okay Cheryl. I know some of what has been going on. Start at the beginning of your story and tell us how all this came into being," I smiled, "We've plenty time."
Sonia tried to stop her, "One word and you and your daughters will be working in my whorehouse!"
Joanna had picked up the strap Sonia had hit her with and laid a beauty on her arse. The two edges broke the skin and Sonia screamed like a stuffed pig.
Andrew and Iain acknowledged her prowess.
As she did that I remembered what Evans and Johnson had done to Joanna earlier. I went up to Johnson and punched him in the mouth, knocking a tooth out. "That's for hitting my wife." Evans looked horror struck as I approached him. I punched him in the gut. "That's only a starter." I picked up a studded strap and beat the crap out of him for a few minutes. "That's for the beating you gave Joanna." He was shocked I knew.
I moved over to Joanna, took the strap off her and brought it down on Sonia's arse with all my pent-up emotion flying with it. Her screams were music to my ears. "That's just a little down payment for abusing my wife!"
I nodded to Cheryl to start her story.
Cheryl took the stage, "I didn't know anything until my husband's murder. I'll explain what I have learned since and you'll see how it led to his murder.
"Evans is old money, knows everyone. He likes money and is cruel to his core. He likes taunting and exploiting people. Upstairs you'll find, local, state and federal politicians. Local, state and federal government employees who know everything that is going on. Judges who kept him informed about warrant requests, witnesses against him. They probably were open to working with Johnson for the money and power. You'll also find businessmen and women who were caught and entrapped by them like me. The wives of the men are used as whores at these parties to enforce compliance. The threat of having the videos which are taken exposed is enough to control them as that would ruin them. All their stories will be similar to mine I assume.
"Ted, my husband, wanted to build our home here but Johnson wanted the land. It had been in Ted's family for years so he wouldn't sell. Evans spoke with Ted making him an offer which he refused. Ted couldn't get anything through the planning department despite appealing to every court he could. Those judges are here.
"Johnson was losing patience so Evans became very insistent Ted sell. When Ted refused again, he told him he was pissing off the wrong person. There had been many meetings, veiled threats and what we thought was bluster about violence. We had twenty months of it.
"One day, Ted was at our business when in front of our staff, he was kidnapped by Evans and two of the guards here. They had a Police escort. Twenty people saw it but saw nothing, the Police Chief told them.
"They took Ted to the old mill where they crushed his legs and pelvis to try and get him to now give them the land because we'd cause so much delay. Ted still wouldn't sign. They left him to die. If they had called an ambulance, he may have lost his legs but he bled out through his crushed pelvis.
"Evans didn't even wait till Ted was buried before making me an offer. I couldn't deal with it. I gave it to Andy Spence, a lovely man and good lawyer. Andy had a road accident according to the Police Chief.
"When Evans saw me next, he told me this was a one-time offer. He showed me photos of my daughters and said, if I refused they would be working in the whorehouse across the border.
They were ten and twelve for fuck's sake!"
she screamed at Evans!
Evans saw the fury of the others on hearing that. He knew he had to try and get on their side somehow.
"For appearances, I was to live here and act as the party madam. There were ordinary parties like the ones you came to and others like tonight which was about controlling his empire with fear of revelation. If you didn't take part, you ended up very short of breath.
"I soon learned I could tell no one. The SCU agent in charge is Johnson's brother and the Police Chief is owned by him. None of the cops are legit. The new SCU guys would try and uncover parts of Johnson's empire but they would bump into the Police who would kill or capture them depending on their orders. They would be tortured here to reveal if they had communicated with someone else.
"Two of them had been out on dates with their girlfriends when they were stopped. The men were tortured and then Sonia had every guard fuck the girls, single, double, triple and even four at a time before they were broken. I had to stand and watch it.
"This was the fate for me and my daughters if I said anything.
"That club on the wall, after everything those girls go through, she fucks them with it. No mercy. They were broken in mind and body and then taken over to the whorehouse. Many don't live three months.
"Johnson uses that green vibrator to finish off the woman if she's not for the whorehouse. It opens out as knives slice through them. The screams are horrendous.
"Evans saw Joanna about two years ago. He wanted her. He found a way in when someone discovered gas under the land her father owns which he wanted the community to have.
"Johnson's greed made him move to buy the land. Her dad knew of Evans and was willing to avoid being one of his own funeral arrangements but wanted to protect the community aspect. Johnson didn't want to spend one cent on that. Her dad wouldn't sell.
