Chapter 1

VERNERO POV

 

The drug they used on me was slowly wearing off, and I was slowly slipping back into consciousness. However, my body was so damn painful that I could barely move a muscle, probably because I’ve been chained on a chair for over 71 hours now with no food, water to drink or anything to keep me sane. I had been careless, careless to let my guard down and actually thought I got my shit together.

 

But I’ll give them; the Sicilian men had been clever and swift this time. They managed to capture me.

 

I groaned softly and winced as the wound on the left of my groin oozed with blood. The fucker’s did me a good number there.

 

I engaged my ears to pick all the sounds, since my eyes were failing pitch in; I decided to settle with hearing. There was laughter coming from the left side of where I was chained. The conversation among the people seemed to be an easy one, but the smell of pot was intoxicating and I knew I had an easy pass out of this place. If they were really smoking pot, then my escape plan was going to be an utter success. The honking of horns and the sound of a very bustling street could be heard loud and clear not far from where we were. Which meant one thing; we were inside the city. Probably at some closed down factory building or some docks! That I wasn’t sure of since I was knocked out this whole time!

 

The chattering outside was of four people, probably keeping an eye on me so that I couldn’t escape. I rolled my heavy head on my neck and willed my eyes to open. Slowly, vision came back to me and I assessed the dense cell I was caged in. It didn’t seem to be that big and the walls were of metal. No iron bars, no stinky walls! Which meant I was in a cargo container. Well, that made things easier.

 

I moved my hands behind me and twisted the ring on my finger until the back of it was positioned nice and well, then carefully switched on the small laser which made a small vibrating sound as it cut through the metal chains. The laughter outside told me that my guards were unaware of what was happening. There was a loud clang on the ground as the chains fell off and I winced with the thought that they heard me.

 

“What was that sound?” One of them called out causing the conversation to halt.

 

“You are probably high man. I didn’t hear anything.” The other contradicted and they all agreed. The conversation went on like nothing had happened and I let out the breathe I was holding.

 

Stealthily, I engaged the laser ring to slice through the chains around my feet and carefully laid them on the floor when they were all through. My feet seemed to be numb for a moment and I couldn’t help groaning from the pain that shot through my leg. These fuckers did really do me good.

 

I got onto my feet and slowly took delicate steps towards the entrance of the container. I was sure to stay hidden in the shadows as I took in my surrounding and made a plan of my escape. The guards outside were really out of it and that gave me a way out. I had to be quick, swift and very stealthy if I wanted to make them pay for what they had done.

 

my body to be numb, and once the void settled, I sprinted from the shadows and leaped right on one guard’s neck, twisted it until it snapped. The pot made their mind heady and they took a full minute to contemplate what was actually happening. By the time their bodies connived with their minds, I had three of them down and one stared at me with so much fear in his eyes as I twisted the cocked gun on his forehead. I placed my finger on my mouth and silenced him to
