“Yea…nobody hurts family” said Marina.

The doctor came out and told us that her face was bruised and she would have a nice shiner later and some cuts on her back. Sam went in to talk to her.

“Brenda, go down stairs and Milo will take you home. I have some things to do so I will talk to you later, K?”

“Sam, thanks for showing up when you did. You know I would have never taken the deal right. I also know what has to be done. I am going back to Barrett’s. I have a mess to clean up”

“Well, two guys will be with you until you’re done. Then they will take you home”

They stepped into the living room.

“Marina, I wish we could have met under better circumstances” said Brenda.

They went downstairs and to the back. Milo and Brenda left.

Marina opened the door. The guy was tied to a chair. She took the gag out of his mouth.

“Why were you threatening one of my clients?” she asked.

“Fuck you!” he said.

She punched him in the nose. Blood came gushing out.

“Bitch! You broke my nose” he howled.

“I will do more than that. Now I know you were on your way to meet a contact. You’re not just a gopher” she said, “I can tell by your shoes. Now where were you meeting him?”

He said nothing. She punched him in stomach. He groaned.

“Since you won’t talk I will let Sam talk to you”

She walked out and shut the door.

“Where were you meeting the contact?” asked Sam.

He said nothing. She punched him.

“Well, since you’re a mute I am going to beat your ass for messing with my friend at the bar”

She pulled out a set of pliers and pulled out one of his teeth. You could make him scream bloody murder.

She asked him again.“Where was the meeting?”

He said nothing so she pulled another. By the fifth one, he told her that it was at Tony’s on 78 at three o clock. Sam made him place his hand on the table and hit it with a hammer.

“You will never hit a woman or mess with the Phoenix again”
