I did not like to think about what they used that drain for.
In the corner, there was a cot, nailed to the floor, without pillows or sheets. A dingy, yellowish sink waited nearby, and under that was a large tin bucket with a heavy lid. I did not need the smell to tell me what that was for.
The whole place was a prison cell, and Thunder and I were trapped inside it.
“Uh...Erica? Oh, no. Is that you?”
“Thunder!” I gasped. I tried to roll to him, but my bindings were wound too tight. Fortunately, I could hear him moving towards me.
“Those fuckers,” he grunted, as I felt his weak, swollen hands scrabble against the ropes. At last, I felt the pressure release, and after several long minutes of working feeling back into my arms and legs, I was able to move again.
“Thank God!” I cried, and threw myself around him in a hug. He winced–obviously, he had some ribs or something broken–but he did not complain.
At last, both our eyes wet with tears, we drew apart.
“What can you tell me about this place?” I asked. “And the two men who brought me here?”
Thunder sighed. “Let me guess. One was that stinking old lawyer–smells like cat piss and looks about as nice?”
“Yes!” I exclaimed, and doing the impossible–chuckling.
“Apparently, he’s been behind all the ‘legal’ shit that the Crooked Jaws have been performing. He’s their insider.”
“Figures,” I growled. “I always knew the man was slimy.”
“And the other guy, did he have an injured hand, bent out of shape like a claw?”
“Oh, my God, yes!” I gasped. “Who is he? How did you know?”
He sighed again, and then proceeded to tell me a long, horrible story about a man named Marco “La Gancho” Herrera.
“You mean...Dominic did that to him?” I murmured. “My Dominic?”
“Yes,” Thunder said sadly. “And though he’s never said it aloud, I know he regrets it.”
I whistled through my dry, cracking lips. “No wonder he hates Dominic so much.”
“He hates Dominic more than he hates any man in the world. Which is why they brought you along as well, those bastards. I would have been enough as a hostage, but I think he really wants to make Dominic suffer.”
“By hurting us?”
“By hurting us.”
We let that sink in.
“But don’t worry,” Thunder said at last. “Dominic is loyal to me, and I think he loves you. He’s sure to save us.”
At his words, I felt a swelling of warmth in my heart. It was the warmth of affection, not the warmth of rage. It made me feel braver.
“It will be dangerous for him,” I commented. “We have to help him any way we can.”
“How?” Thunder spat sadly, gesturing around the room. “We’re trapped in here, and I’m no use in a fight right now. Trust me.”
Slowly, hesitatingly, achingly, we began to concoct a plan.
