Chapter 86
I’m not even sure how long we’ve been in here for. The videos are torture and at this point I would prefer a beating. My arms and legs are killing me, but i imagine its worse for Luciano and Tony who are sharing a chair. At least they share some form of body heat though. I’m so cold my dick is trying to shrivel up inside me.
“Good news guys!” Alexander comes parading in like a fucking peacock with his clothes. None of us say anything, it’s pointless anyway. He pauses the video and that gets all our heads lifting from the floor. It’s paused on a frame of our girl’s face, smiling as she wakes in the morning. We already know how the rest of that scene goes.
“Get them down and re chain them to the walls.” He instructs the guards. One guy comes up to me with a step ladder and unlocks my hands. They fall to my side for the first time in days and I have no strength to do anything about them being momentarily free. The guy shoves me, and I fall to my knees, unable to hold myself up any longer. Grabbing a fist full of my hair he drags me to the side of the room, kicking boxes out of the way and then places metal cuffs on my ankles and walks away.
As I was saying, good news! Hudson has informed me that Ari will be here in three days‘ time. So, I thought we would celebrate with a meal.”
Food. Fuck I miss food. Every now and then a guard would bring in a bottle of water and squirt some in our mouths, but food, we haven’t eaten a single thing since we’ve been here. Alexander walks to the middle of the room and places a single plate on the floor, covered with a silver dish. I have no idea what’s under there, but the smell is making my stomach growl, and my mouth salivate. He then places a bottle of water next to it and turns to leave.
“Have fun!” He teases before the door shuts. I look up at my brothers who have been placed in ankle chains like mine across the room. We’re all equally spaced on a wall each with the food in the center…
“I wonder what the catch is.” I mumble out.
“Hmmm…” Luciano says as he crawls forward. He gets about halfway when I realize the length of my chains are tightening. I move the boxes next to me on the wall and follow the line of the chain attached in metal hoops dug into the wall.
“Luciano. Wait.”
“Wait? Why, I’m fucking starving and it smells like food.”
“The chains.” Tony croaks out. It seems he’s noticed his tightening length too. Luciano looks at both of us and then the chains. The system is set up so that only one person can move the whole way to the middle at once. The remaining two people will be dragged up the wall, essentially upside down.
“He wants us to fight each other. To break us mentally.”
“Well, we’re going to break physically too if we don’t eat something and if what he’s saying is true and Ariana is coming, we need some sort of strength to fight for her.” Luciano says stubbornly.
“We need to work together. At this rate none of us will be able to pull the chains hard enough to lift two bodies. One person to the middle, the other two need to stand on their hands to give some sort of length to the chain.” Tony says.
Luciano looks at me. “You’ve had the worst of the beatings Luca. You see if you can get to it first and once we know what’s under there, we work out how to split it.”
He backs up to his wall and him and Tony use the little energy they have to upend themselves, with their hands on the dirty concrete and their weight against the brick walls. I start moving forward, I can almost reach it but the chain tugs tight. It’s just a hand length away. I burrow my head down and yell through the pain as I push my feet into the ground with everything I have. I hear the guys making uncomfortable sounds.
“Push Luca, PUSH!” Tony urges me on. My fingernails scratch the plate. Just a bit further!
“Got it!” I say as I pull the plate with my fingertips towards me. I just manage to grab it as I slide backwards, and I heard Tony and Luciano hit the floor with bloody thuds.
I rip the silver bowl off the top and see a steak and jacket potato with a side of carrots. Fuckkkkkk yes. I look up to see the guys sitting now and looking straight at it as well. Alexander expects without hunger that one of us would just eat it all and let the others suffer. What he doesn’t understand is our love for each other and how deep our loyalty runs.

We split it, thirds for everything
What thout the watet?” Tony asks.
Tick. I forgot about that.”
“We’ll get that afterwards. Split it lanca, then slide it over the best you can.
The steak literally melts in my mouth. Of course, the fucker didn’t give us a knife and fork so I use my teeth and gage as best I can what a third would be. I do the same with the potato and then count and split the carrots. Before I slide the plate over, I grab one of the boxes close to me and empty it out. Toilet paper. Not a weapon, but certainly useful after how long I’ve been standing without taking a shit. I put the plate in the box and then slid it over to Luciano. This way if anything falls off the plate, it’ll still be inside the box and not thrown on the floor. I watch as he takes his portion and then slides the box to Tony.
“Ready to get the water, brothers?” Luciano asks.
Tony and I both stand on wobbly legs and nod.
“Ready.”
Luciano goes forward this time and it’s just as shit to be the one hanging as it is to be the one pulling. We share the bottle sip for sip and decide to save the rest in case we’re here for longer than expected. Now we’ve got something in our stomachs and that bloody video is off, with the idea that Ariana may very well be in here soon, we start to form a plan. We start by searching the room, all the boxes and anything we could possibly use. Most of it is useless shit, like towels, sheets and napkins, but we do find an old razor blade, Luciano got a nail out of the wall and a box of light bulbs. Surely these could be weapons if we use them right. With the extra chain length at our disposal too we start forming ideas on what we can do it different scenarios when the time is right.
