It Comes In Three's

Chapter 66

Alex POV

As Jace prepares the adrenaline injection, Del unlocks the tool cabinet.

We all know that desperate times call for desperate measures, and this situation has pushed us to our limits. Holden and Tommy have crossed a line, and we’re not going to let them get away with it….

With a swift motion, lace plunges the needle into Jason’s arm, injecting the adrenaline into his bloodstream. Almost instantly, Jason’s body jerks, and his eyes flutter open. Confusion and pain flashes across his face before he locks eyes with me.

“What the fuck is this?” Jason groans, his voice hearse and weak before he thrashes against the ties.

“You’re going

to tell us where they’ve taken Anna,” I growl, my voice dripping with sheer hatred. “You’re going to tell us everything you know.” I spit out.

Jason licks his dry lips, seeming to think on it before replying… “You think I’m just going to spill everything? You’re underestimating Holden and Tommy. They won’t back down so easily they might even kill her.” His tone wavers, signalling that deep down he was terrified….

I step forward, gripping the back of the chair tightly, “Oh, I’m well aware of what they’re capable of. But let me assure you, Jason, we’re much fucking worse. We’ll do whatever It takes to get Anna back, even if that means removing each of your finger nails one by one and listening to you squeal like a pig. Lbegin;

“Or perhaps we could even hang you upside down from one of those beams, slit your throat and wait until you completely drain of blood… I’m certain that would kick them into handing Anna back to us before they wind up the same! I snap, before grabbing a tight hold of his broken nose squeezing down on the injury as tightly as possible – earning a deafening scream from him in result.

“Ok! Fine! Please! I’ll tell you!” Jason folds almost instantly under the pain, his voice defeated. I’ll tell you what I know, but you better pray that you can handle the consequences of him… He threatens, as we all chuckle.

As if we were scared of the likes of Tommy! I’ll crack the jokes around here!

*Don’t try and lie your way out of this either… I’ll know! I warn, as he nods and swallows slowly.

“Holden and Tommy have taken Anna to a remote farm, somewhere close to another town not far from this one – don’t ask me for it’s name I honestly swear I don’t know much!” He begins, before panicking again with the lack of detail.

“They have set up a makeshift hideout there, it was intended for Charlotte, but I’m guessing since you’re asking for the whereabouts of the other one… that they must ve took her instead?” Jason sighs, before coughing a few times – spitting up blood,

“Have you been to this area?” Jace grits out next, as he shakes his head in frustration.

“Nah, it’s Tommy’s uncles old farm or some shit… I didn’t ask questions… Tommy would be the only one with the directions though.” Jason admits, as I grip his throat his eyes widening in sudden terror.

“Tm fucking warning you! If you know how to fucking get there, then tell us now or I’ll choke you to death!” I shout, as he thrashes and struggles to breathe under my vice grip.

I finally let go, watching him cough and splutter – eyes welling up with tears from the impact…

Coward.

*1. promise… I don’t… know…” Jason begs now, struggling to find his words with his newly injured throat,

I would imagine from what I’ve heard, that he doesn’t actually know much. From what I’ve gathered, Jason and Holden tend to bow down to Tommy….. but why?

“Why do you both suck up to Tommy so much? What’s the deal with that?‘ I rage next, mocking him, as jason shakes his head at my words.

“It’s not like that…” Jason mumbles, causing me to laugh sickly down at him.

as Jason closes his swollen

“Yeah right! Are yous scared of him or what? You’re letting that clown tell you what to do? It’s embarrassing… I scoff next, as eyes briefly.

“L… I know what we did was wrong but you don’t understand… jason attempts to reason, which causes me to land a hard punch on his jaw–fury taking its toll.

“If you knew it was wrong then why the fuck torture her for years? I’m not buying it!” I explode, as he groans in agony,

His head falls forward again as more blood pools inside of his mouth – running out and down his chin.

“He has… tabs on us… he could rain our lives if he wanted to… it was just easier to be his friend… to do what he wanted over the years…” Jason mumbles, before spitting another chunk of blood onto the floor.

“Like what? What could he have on you both that was so bad you chose to do that shit to Lottie? You can’t justify what you did to her! It’s bullshit!” I yell, as he sighs heavily–looking pained.

“He’s a psychopath… he bullied us ever since we were kids… when he took a sudden fascination for Charlotte Holden and 1… we were grateful it wasn’t us anymore!” Jason attempts to explain himself, as I roll my eyes.

Cowards… I won’t say it again… that’s all they are!

‘I tried to cut ties with him once, after the first time he hurt Charlotte real bad….I knew it was wrong… I ran home and threw up everywhere after it….

tried but he then began to accuse me of being some freak… saying I liked being around my cousin too much who was five at the time… he threatened to tell everyone that I had hurt him just some real bad shit that would ruin my life! From that point I was terrified to stand up to him again!” Jason reasons, as I remain expressionless and cold

‘So instead you just went along with abusing a small innocent girl to save your own neck? It’s too late for regret now… fume next, as Jace and Del both agree with my words.

you could’ve gone to the cups?” I

He doesn’t respond, only lowers his gaze, looking pitiful. With that, the doorbell rings upstairs, as I turn my back on the creature and leave the room.

up the stairs, glance in the bedroom on the way to the front door–seeing Lottie in the same spot– staring aimlessly at the wall.

1 trudge up

I sigh at the sight, before continuing on to let Greg in..

“Ahh my little cousin! How’s things?” He greets me and immediately steps inside, pushing his glasses up his nose as he carries his two equipment bags with him.

“I don’t have time for pleasantries! I need your help! Some guys took Anna and she’s in danger of being seriously hurt so we need to find her fast!” [ rant, leading him into the small living area where he begins to unzip his masses of tech equipment.

*Please tell me you have some form of contacting them?” He pauses to question, as I shrug and think…

We could use instagram but I don’t have Lottie’s phone with me….

There must be something else…

What if Jason has his phone?

“Give me a minute. I state bluntly, before leaving him to set up – heading back down the steps towards the cellar door.

I enter the room, to see Jace pacing back and forth impatiently…

“Does he have his shit with him? His phone? I question the two, as Del and Jace look to one another and shrug,

“Where’s your phone? I ask Jason directly next, as he sniffles once before responding.

“It was in my bag.” He mumbles, as I groan loudly. Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.

“Wait! I think he had it in his hand when we grabbed him! It’s on the flour in the car! A small black duffel bag. Del announces in thought, as my temper eases slightly – grateful that we had it

23

I run upstairs, head straight outside and unlock the car, Rightfully so, there lies the bag, as I unzip it and see the grey iPhone sitting on top.

I pick it up, finding a password, which causes me to mutter out in frustration… back downstairs I go!

1 storm back inside, slamming the door shut behind me – before I hear a small chuckle from Greg.

“Still the same temper I see… He chines as I pass the living room, seeing him plug things into an extension cord – before opening his laptop

I could strangle him too….

“Password now?!” I rage, suddenly feeling that this shit was taking too long now.

Anna’s been with them for well over two hours already!

*1010.” Jason doesn’t even fight against us anymore, instead he remains compliant.

I type the numbers in, unlocking the phone almost instantly as I smirk in victory now having their personal numbers.

“Perhaps we should have him call them? Find out shit? Jace suggests, as Jason’s eyes widen at the suggestion.

“I–1 can’t betray them! He will ruin me! Jason panics again, clearly all for himself, as I glare back at him.

“I’ll put this gently for you… either you help us… or we video your death and send it to him? You decide!” I snap, as his mouth opens and closes like a Eish out of water.

TI… I do it… Jason quickly realises there isn’t an option here, as I nod once.

Of course you will… because I’m in charge now…
