In the Devil’s Den

“Boss, Theo is here” Conan said to Oliver after he had yet interrupted him. He had thought he was going to bring news of doctor Raymond arrival but surprisingly, it was someone else.

“Theo?” Oliver asked with a look of astonishment and curiosity.

“Yes boss, strangely, he only came with one of his men” Conan responded.

“Looks like he’s eager to get buried” Oliver scoffs. He thought Theo had thought little of him to walk right into his domain with just one of his men with him.

“Let him in” he added before dismissing Conan who reported the doctor’s presence to him.

“Do not go anywhere” he said to Samantha who responds with a nod.

He left his room, stopped by the room their hostage was in and after he confirmed she was getting better, he left for downstairs where his uninvited guests were.

“Well well well, you sure own a huge gut, I give you that” Oliver said when he reached down. Theo and Dreco had stayed rooted to the ground, Theo had his hands in his pockets while Dreco crossed his arm. Both men were armed, not because they were in their enemies dormitory, it’s just part of their outfits, they don’t go out with no guns.

“I’m not the one to feel so insecured like you are” Theo said with a smile which made Oliver chuckle. He puts his hands on his pocket and walked closer to his guests.

“I guess insecurity could also be called smart, I wonder what it is you want gentlemen?” Oliver said.

“I want the girl” Theo stated.

“What girl” Oliver said even though he was aware of who Theo was referring to. Theo knows too but he ignored it.

“Your hostage, I assure you Oliver, it won’t be good if she dies here, you know that” Theo said.

“You’ve got nothing to worry about fellas, she’s in good hands” Oliver said with a smirk that lived on.

“As I’m sure you know, she’s sickle cell and has low tolerance of new environments, better get yourself out of trouble before it comes” Theo said.

“That’s one good advice mate, thanks for the information but let’s get back to why you are really here” Oliver responded.

“I’m sure you don’t wanna kill me right here” Theo said as he was sure he wouldn’t.

“Yeah I wouldn’t, it will be lame but I could keep you here for myself, I will tie you up in a cellar and make you my plaything, the thought is exhilarating” Oliver said while he giggles like a little girl.

“I’m sure it is but I’m not your prey for today, there’s one right outside, her eyes are on you with a camera, just imagine how much damage it will to you if your little lair is casted just yet” Theo said, referring to the woman he and Dreco had seen, he knew women like that are always troubles for people like them, he once had an enemy like that but she died while pursuing a smaller target. Many had suspected him but to him then, it was unfortunate she had to die in another’s hand, not his.

“You brought a guest!” Oliver responded, his brows furrowed and the excitement had disappeared from his face.

“Me, no of course not, we are here on different businesses and I think you should check on her, looks like she’s on bigger business” Theo said with a smirk on his face. He had planned on using the woman as scapegoat for Oliver in case he was running mad like he always do. That was why he told Dreco to give the woman a warning as a gesture of not being inhumane.

While the men threw banters at each other, something had been going on inside the house. Samantha was trying to look around a bit, maybe she could find something that could be used against Oliver. She hides whenever she sees any of his men coming but because of Oliver’s guest with him in the living room, most of his men were there with him and there was none guarding the room where Lucianna, the Chief detective’s daughter was kept. There was only the doctor who looked after her in the room. Samantha had watched them through a thin door space that had opened.

She tries to grasp what was going on but failed to understand. A man in suit was sitted on a bed beside a woman that lay still on the bed, his back was to the door and she couldn’t see the woman. It looked like the man was busy, though she couldn’t see the whole scene but she could swear he was doing something obscene to the woman with how quietly he moved and his hand gestures and the woman had seem to be unconscious.

Sam was right. The doctor, son of a CEO of one of the biggest hospitals in Chicago and branches in other cities, is a child molester, It was the dirt Oliver had on him with evidences. Since he thought they were alone and the girl was still unconscious, he had draw up her blouse and had play with her ni***es. While he was at it, he begins to touch himself. Sam didn’t know what to do, she doesn’t want to get into trouble just yet so she just watched while she desperately wanted to help.

What happened next came as a surprise and shock to her as she didn’t see it coming. The woman had swung a knife into the man’s neck while he had been engrossed in filling his sexual appetite. The man had shouted which got to the ears of those downstairs and they had immediately set on coming upstairs to check where the noise came from. Sam took off to the room where she was supposed to be, the scene haunted her while she pretends to be asleep. She figured she would need to brace herself if she was going to be a mole in the devil’s den.
