❝ You make this messed-up world look so much more beautiful. ❞ Gathering me in his arms, he pulled me close -- his lips seeking mine hungrily.

The cries of anguish and despair echoedthroughout the warehouse, the noise radiating off the walls and back to my ears.
I had just arrived after having to convince the detective who once worked with my father to turn a blind eye to the situation. A donation of a few thousand dollars was made to their station, as well as a personal bribe. I sensed that something like this would happen tonight, so I called the police as a precaution. These bastards would've been sent to prison if tonight had failed. Fortunately, it was a success. They were now mine to torment.
"You're having a load of fun, aren't you?" I snickered, slipping my hands into the leather gloves.
Isaac shrugged noncommittally. "We haven't been on this sort of excursion in a long time."
I shook my head. "Did you get any information out of them?"
"Let's see," he braced both his hands on his hips. "The one on the left is out cold since you shot him twice in the shoulder. Dude won't be able to use his arms anymore for the rest of his life. I did manage to remove the bullets and stop the bleeding. You're welcome, by the way."
"He'll survive," I said. I would've shot him straight to the chest if I wanted him dead, and I bloody did. "And these two?"

I scoffed. "You tested it out, didn't you?"
"I had to know if it was working."
"You electrocuted an injured man?" I laughed, approaching the device and increasing the voltage power by a slightly higher degree. "Let's see if this wakes him up."
