30 The Boss Part 2 (1/2)

Vincent looked at me like you would an old friend as we spoke to each other ”you all right there's no reason for you to be so nervous with me. Here have some dwarven wine everyone knows they make the best alcohol”.

He picks up two glass of wine fills one cup for himself then places the other in front of me.

I look right at Vincent's face as I tell him ”I'm fine, let's just get this over with”.

”Getting right down to it I like that all right than Claire bring Ingram” Vincent looked to his left at the woman with a scar on her lip who was wearing a pants suit. She gave him a slight nod before she walked off into the backroom behind Vincent.

It wasn't long before she returned with an almost completely naked man with a black sack over his head with a loincloth for pants. His hands and feet were chained he was covered in freshly made wounds on every part of his body that blood still dripped from. He was missing fingernails, fingers, and a few toes it looked like they starved the man as well because his ribs were showing while his gut was sticking out a bit.

I had never seen such cruelty in person before so I was a little upset but more worried when I tell him I have no money. All this made my heart race with worry, fear, but also excitement it almost as if I'm developing some kind of thrill for stuff like this which is bad, I really don't want stuff this to become my guilty pleasure.

Claire walked the chained up man named Ingram into the cell next to me. He made muffled sounds every time he stepped forward it made me wonder what kind of hell he had been through while at the same time I didn't care.

While I may be sympathetic I didn't know the man nor do I plan to. It's going to be difficult saving my own ass let alone someone else.

When Claire put Ingram into the cell she than removed the sack on his head letting me see the person who brought me all this unnecessary trouble after I just started this new life of mine.

He looked like he was 15, but In this world where someone who looks like there 5 could actually turn out to be someone grand-dad or grandma, it's hard for me to tell. His face was filled with pain but when he looked up he started crying tears of joy because when he saw me he saw hope.

Looking at his face brought no joy to me but a distinct displeasure than a burning rage not because I could fully see what they did to his face. The boy's ear that got cut off, the few teeth that got pulled out, and swollen eye gave me no concerns it was the few memories that came flooding back that pissed me off.

The stupid boy Ingram found out that old man and Vincent us to be friends he then used that info to join Vincent's crew. Ingram never told that old man what he had done if he did I doubt he would have allowed Ingram to join Vincent gang.

After joining Vincent gang he got greedy the little power he got when shoving losers around and money got to his head. Eventually, he got addicted to pixie dust and skooma he took some for himself and even sold some for his own profit until he got caught.

Vincent and that old man may have had a past but that was years ago. People change and Vincent most definitely did it was only out of the kindness of Vincent's heart and what little history they had that the old man was able to take on the that idiots debt.

Since that old man is dead I'm left with this huge mess, uhh ... I wonder if I can talk my way out of this.

Vincent took a sip of the wine in front of him as we got to discussing the matter at hand ” I'm quite sorry about that you have to see this boy of yours like this Iknow you took care of him like he was your own son, but I had to make an example out of him you understand its apart of the business”.

”Of course I understand I would have handled it no different if I was In your shoes”

”I'm glad you understand now if you would be so kind as to hand me my money then you can be on your way with that pile of trash”. Vincent gestures over to Ingram as he takes another sip of his drink.
