145 Now She Speaks


    ~Tamia~


    I woke up early in the morning, pumped up to aplish some things, and saw Sylvester on his


    computer. He seemed a bit sad, and I knew it had to do with what we told Marcel and Theodore.


    "Hey," I said softly, and he smiled at me.


    "No need to pretend, darling; I know you are sad," I said, and he nodded.


    "Marcel did not take it well," he confessed, and I thought as much.


    "He was bound to know eventually, and at least now they both know. They will move on from it," I


    said, and he nodded.


    "Did you order the caesarean?" I asked, and he nodded.


    "Everything went well yesterday afternoon. She should be fully healed by now. No silver was


    involved, and she had three healthy babies. They are caring for the babies at the hospital, but she is


    back. Wison and William are watching her. Also, Vino is currently receiving treatment in the general


    hospital in Lund. They said he would be fine, but he is yet to wake up," He told me, and I nodded.


    "Very well, I will question the bitch after breakfast," I said, and he nodded.


    "Linda said to tell you that she has prepared everything needed for Amanda''s interrogation," he told


    me. I smiled, knowing Linda would do an excellent job at it.


    "Join me," I said, going to the bathroom, and Sylvester looked at me and smiled.


    "Of course, my love," he said, closing hisptop.


    We showered together and got ready for breakfast.


    Stephanie, Dominic, Katya, David, Nicole and the triplets were in Lund shopping, so they weren''t


    present.

    Breakfast was gloomy, and I did not need to guess why.


    Avery and Linda were sad but told me they were up for the day''s task.


    After Amanda''s questioning, we would have to rest because of the blue moon night. It was going to


    be a memorable event. That much I knew, and I could not wait.


    Avery, Linda and I went to the property where Amanda was being kept. I could not wait to see the


    look on her face. Kappa Wilson and William waited at the location and ushered us into the


    bungalow. Amanda was kept in one of the rooms.


    We entered the room Linda asked them to prep for her questioning. I was surprised to see what she


    had nned out for Amanda.


    The silver dust bath water was there. It always did wonders, but I believed she would need more


    motivation than that.


    There was a whip. A big wheel was ced against the wall.


    I knew Linda nned on tying Amanda to the thing.


    There was no way she would not speak by the time we were done with her.


    Wilson brought us a full protective suit and goggles so we do not get silver on any part of our skins.


    Amanda was brought in, and I smiled. I was too eager to deal with her. By now, her wound must


    have healed reasonably enough because the medical staff ensured no silver was involved.


    "Hello, Amy," I said, and she wasn''t looking smiley or chatty anymore.


    I motioned them to sit her down and removed my mask so she could see my face. Linda and Avery


    did the same.


    "Amanda, as you can see, we are ready to go all the way with you and trust me, we will enjoy it. We


    can skip this part, and you tell us all you know, or we torture the truth out of you." I said.


    "My babies," she said, eyes filled with tears, and Iughed.


    "I am not Leo, Vino, or whoever you have fooled in your past. I know they were an insurance policy


    for you, a tool to use to ckmail the men that were in your life. Be assured they are in safe hands


    now. Away from your poison." I said, smiling, then stood up to wear my gloves.


    "Well, we do not have all day, Amanda. As you know, we have a wedding to n, beauty treatment


    and whatnot. We do not have all the time to waste. So you can tell me who the King is, or we can


    torture it out of you. The choice is yours." I said and went to the drum where the silver dust water


    was.


    "I am sure you are acquainted with this kind of treatment. You just had an operation, so this would


    be deadly to you. You are as good as dead if you do not tell us what we need. Either way, it will


    serve its purpose," I said, and I could see fear in her eyes.


    "I say we give this bitch a bath and ask questionster," Avery said, and Linda agreed.


    "I don''t feel like talking, Tamia. I want to hear her scream. She clearly won''t give the bastard up; we


    might as well have fun while we are at it," Linda added, and I nodded.


    "All of you are sick," Amanda said to us.


    "You take my babies from me by force, and now this. Do you think those men care about you? All


    they want to hold on to is power.." she started, and Avery sshed her face with the water. Amanda


    screamed at the burning sensation.


    I looked at Avery, and she shrugged her shoulders.


    "Not going to let her run her mouth today." She said, and Iughed.


    Amanda continued to scream because the silver was searing her pretty face, which won''t be so


    pretty anymore.


    I took clean water and gently washed the silver off her face. Her tears fell freely, and I did not feel


    sorry for her.


    "You see, this will only go one way. You tell us who the King is and all you know about him, and then


    you go to the King''s prison, or we torture you to death. Anytime you say anything unrted to the


    question you have been asked, you will be burned. You won''t heal nicely because of your cuffs, and


    I will let the silver linger next time and do some damage. Am I clear?" I asked her, and she nodded


    quickly, still trying to recover from the pain of the silver. The chains on her hand had impaired her


    healing, so the wound would take a while to heal.


    "Who is the King, and what are his ns?" I asked her, and she looked at me. I knew she would


    speak. She might be a terrorist but was only good from the shadows. She wasn''t a warrior.


    "No one ising to save you. You have betrayed all your loved ones; I would speak if I were you,"


    Avery told her, and she nodded and sighed.


    "You have to protect me," she said, and I rolled my eyes. Here we go again. Amanda was ying


    the victim.


    "Tell me who it is. All his ns and goddess help you it checks out. If not, I will soak you in that


    silver bath and watch you die slowly and painfully," I promised her.


    "You won''t catch him now. He left Lund two nights ago after he ordered me to clean up the


    mess," she said, and I rolled my eyes.


    "He has been nning this for a long time, waiting for the right moment. Jenny Lawrence recruited


    me while I was in Cains," she said, and Avery pped her.


    "You can tell us the storyter. I want a name now!" She yelled at Amanda, and Amanda began to


    sob.


    "It wasn''t supposed to go this way, he promised.." Amanda said and flinched when Avery tried to


    p her again.


    "She needs a bath, Tamia," Linda said, both women impatient. I was intolerant too.


    "Name now, a storyter," I told her, and she nodded.


    "Councilman Larry McMillian," she blurted out and began to sob.


    The difficulty in how she said it made me know she had given us the correct name.


    "The story?" I asked and tried to link Sylvester immediately while sheposed herself.


    I thought I would be too far, but I wasn''t.


    "Darling," I linked him, and he replied.


    "Can you make a subtle arrest? Amanda said it is Larry, but I want you to send your men there to


    make it subtle just in case it is a lie; Amanda said he is the King. I do not think she is lying this time,"


    I linked Sylvester, and he was silent.


    "Very well, I will issue an arrest," he said, and I closed the link and looked at Amanda.


    "Prep the silver bath," I ordered Wilson.


    "Tamia, please," Amanda begged.


    " They are going to get Larry now; if it turns out to be another lie, you will swim in silver," I promised


    her.


    "He is not in his house; he went to his apartment in Gad. I swear. We usually meet there. He is


    there. He told me to meet him there once Vino was silenced," She said, and I looked into her eyes.


    Why would she kill the father of her children for Larry? It did not make sense.


    "Why attempt Vino''s life for Larry?" I asked her, and she swallowed.


    "He was bing a liability. He was going to talk and get all of us killed. I had to think of my future


    and that of my children. He did not believe in the cause, and Larry promised to take care of me and


    my triplets," She said in tears, and I could understand the liability part. The guy wasn''t tough.


    Amanda was a very selfish woman; I must give her that.


    We waited in the ce for an hour, and Sylvetsr barged in. He was angry and impatient. His eyes


    were dark, too, and I was a bit worried.


    "Larry isn''t at his house; he left two nights ago, ording to his wife," Sylvester growled. Marcel


    came in after him, and I realised Amanda had spoken the truth.


    "She ims he is in his apartment in Gad. They were to meet there." I told Sylvester, and he looked


    at Amanda, who had been crying since.


    "He has a small army there; he won''t be easy to catch. He also locked someone up in one of the


    rooms. I don''t know who, but he was nning to use the person as the fall guy, but I do not know if


    he ns to do it anymore," She said, and I realised that Sylvester was right about Larry all along.
