《Lethal Virtue》Chapter 17: The Wooden Shack
Advertisement
The smell of old wood aroma resembled around the sections and parts from the shack, footsteps everywhere where the stain of steps gets traced on their way, one coming and going from one room to the other, a wooden hotel on the top of the hills of the far north of Grand Vilstine, along the mountains and rows of trees all around it.
The roads from the city to the arrival of the shack were not even an easy task, roaming through dangerous corners and crosses, changes of speed and the amount of climbing was too difficult yet a perfect reason for the wooden hotel to be placed, but those roads were being crosses upon the vehicle of John Cabaliure and his crew, they were told to come to the shack for their next objective, they never minded if the roads were crumbled in even craters in the asphalt they were going anyways, for their money.
"Do you still trust this weirdoes boss?" Barney asked while being leaned between Moh driving and John in the passenger seat, John looks to his left side "No, of course not, but the objective is clear, the biggest amount of payment we get from there is even bigger than the one we will get from each damn place we steal in this hellhole, and it will be a big enough amount for us to live properly and be accepted at some of the Utopias like New Nevada and live there, change names IDs everything, let this one job be the last then we will be gone" John said with clear words, "I'll be damn if that were not the truth" Barney exclaimed as they rode of to through the asphalt.
They finally after a long trip reached the park of the shack on top of the mountain, brown leather boots on the wood, there was Vesta waiting for them just below the Tile of the place, and he was staring at them as they were walking to enter inside he was smiling, smiling with his very notorious creepy smile that reached wrinkle by wrinkle.
"Welcome welcome" Vesta said "Come inside, the dawn is beautiful tonight but you guys probably can not wait for your next objective, as many say money arrives to someone's wants", they all stood in front of him passed inside as Vesta signaled with his left hand to the door with an open palm.
They walked in the center as there were tons of rooms in the main corridor as if it was exactly a hotel but at the center there was a massive space big enough to glance around the entire place beautiful paintings but it seemed that there were some stains on some parts of the walls where some pictures should of been, but instead it were just blood stains.

"Oh we were just remodeling the place, you know we were planning on making it a torture and slavery shack" Vesta smiled, but they did not smiled they looked serious and even Moh kind of looked grossed out, "Ah just kidding it is just for aesthetics of the zone" he jokingly replied.
They stood in place, "So now that you are here, we have a very simple objective for you guys, now, this one will might seem easier than the others but it requires stealth and a shit ton of time, now what we need is for you to stick this circled gadget…" He grabs of what looks like a roof fire alarm but smaller, enveloped in black shades and red in the center of it on top that looks like if it had some kind of spray or resource inside.
They looked at it, "Ready for this?, in the underground sections of New Nevada!" He said, they all looked confused and stared at each other by such weird coincidence and timing of this event, "Now now, I know you all will need access granted but not be worried, we will transport you right inside, we work for the people anyways we have access to whatever place we want" He raised both of his hands as he said it, the dropped them down with the gadget still in hand, "Relax is not a bomb" He gets closer to them as he whispers with a very aggravated tone "Is something way worse".
Then he backed up and continue to speak, "We will show you the money and another gadget that will show you the right positions in which you will stick this things around, now, let's get to dinner, the food might freeze, and yes, you all have to come to eat with us, no exceptions".
At that moment a sudden human sized object dropped from the further roof, made a strong drop sound loud enough to make Vesta do a Mini-jump, then he turned around slowly to stare at the object "What in the actual Grave was that?" He said, "It seems today are raining meat bags" John Humped and the others smiled or gave a little chuckles.
It was a dead body, looked strangled and tortured, even some fingers cut, legs deformed probably from the fall, then all stared and top and to the second's floor interiors end of the stairs, there was Apollo cleaning his hands with a mantle from the blood all around it, He was staring at them back too, then Vesta seemed kind of angry, "What the hell are you doing?" He said, "I was trying to teach him a lesson" Apollo replied, then Vesta looked back at the body and exclaimed "Well, He is dead as shit so no lesson learned… Ruthless" then he looked back at John and his crew, very quick turn to look at them as if he was some kind of late night show guy, and that very creepy smile of his "Well let's eat some dinner shall we!?" He said, and Apollo went back to the room he came from.

They all had a sweet dinner at the dinner table, "excuse me for a second" Vesta said as he cleaned his mouth with a mantle and stood up to walk away to the second floor, ones there he entered the same room Apollo came from. There was the stench of blood all around the room, some blood spilled all over the walls and the floor, chairs with chackles and belts for what seemed torture, and also torture tools placed on some tables.
And in front of him sitting down belted on ones of them was Hades almost fully naked if he didn't have his boxers on, full of blood on his chest and some parts of his face, arms with was looked like knife cuts, he was getting tortured.
"You looked cuter in some other days" Vesta says, Hades with his face looked down tilted it up to look at Vesta, then He spit some blood to the side and stared back slowly at Vesta "Fuck you" Hades said.
Vesta looked down on him and then moved his body to where Apollo was placed himself, leaning on a table with a place with surgery materials in what looked like if he was trying to choose on one of them, "Has he spoken?" Vesta said "No he hasn't spoken shit about the reason why he did not found anything and why he came back" Apollo said with an exhale and an agitated voice, "Well you checked his body right? And I mean all of it" Vesta said, Apollo titled his head up and down in confirmation, Vesta then stared at Hades then stared back at Apollo, but this time leaned besides him and staring at him "You should take a rest a rest, you look stressed as shit, Listen I will take it from here and you just go to the first floor and put some screws on the pictures and decorate the shack, how about it huh?" He said.
Vesta then grabbed a hammer that was laying on the floor and Apollo weirdly enough grabbed and walked outside of the room, slowly but surely he gave one step at a time, his mind was so blurred since that time at the construction site and the pictures that were taken, it has been some time since he went to a restaurant or to hang out with Acantha, the worry of being exposed about the bags of cocaine and what he did would of been for sure meant dead if Stravas ever knew about it.
One of his men reached to him on the second floor and told him that in the room to his left there was one of his men, that he was not obeying orders for even decorating one of the simplest things for this kind of life, his mind completely stuck with the mindset of "He needs cleaning" inside. He then opened the door aggressively, there he was the man sitting on the chair and very dulled, Apollo then walked in front of him as slammed the table in front of him, scaring the hell out of him, then he grabbed hard one of the man's hand and stared at him, eyes more opened.
"Oh he is drugged?" Apollo says
"Oh yeah for sure" the man in the back says
"Oh good, then he won't feel this".
Apollo then smashes the hammer enough to brake some of his bones on the hand of the man, the poor man then screams in full agony as he starts to cry tears of pain, Apollo then grabs his face and starts talking while staring with trembling eyes, "Look at me, LO AT ME!" He yelled as the man cried out of agony and pain, then Apollo controlled his rage and silenced himself to a more more lower voice, "We are on the fucking line of all of our life getting fucked if any of our business gets out and revealed and you… you you piece of sack of shit is basically showing in front of here with what is basically is the thing that might kill all of us, you fucked up".
He then starts smashing the hand of the man again, again and again, again and again very repeated and fast, enough to make any man faint or even die from the agony, he then smashed his face with hammer finishing him off and killing him right and there, everyone in the house probably listened to the screams but it was an almost weekly thing for them but not for John and his group, but they stood quite, they had to stay calm and let everything get done and they will be free from the shackles of living in chaos.
"This is horrible, I mean so… messed up" Michael exclaimed, "What what is it?" Piers spoke from the radio, "Apollo, one of the Blood Rejects just straight up smashed and killed one of his men with his hammer, so gruesome" He said as he was twenty meters apart from the chack and looking through the windows thanks to his binoculars and staying on the wood's grounds, "But it seems this is indeed the place, now we know where they could be placed when the cavalry arrives…", radio cuts off, "Michael, Michael?!" Piers said.
