Kemar POV

The ash-minty scent of salt crystals brought me out of the black void I was in with a start. As the strong scent burned my nostrils I coughed violently and tried to remain conscious.

My head felt like lead upon my neck as I tried to hold it up and focus on the blurry image before me.

"Relax Lil G," I heard a voice say and I did my best to focus on the person who used one of the names I procured years ago when I was in the gang years ago.

My temple throbbed and the pain increased with every breath I took. I squinted at the figure before and cursed as Lenky came into view and my vision began to clear.

"Yow drink this," he said putting a bottle of water to my lips, when I moved to hold it I realised my hands were firmly fastened behind my back.

Slowly the event leading up to this moment came rushing back to me and I bolted upright only round find I was tightly secured to a chair.

"Where the hell is Laynie?" I growled staring daggers at him as I wrestled with the ungiving bonds that held me in place.

I watched as Lenky stepped away and ran his hand frustratingly over his almost bold head.

"Where is she Lenky!"

"Bounty have her a waah secret place him nuh mek mi know a weh him just tell mi fi carry uuh come yasso," he answered reluctantly.

I could see that Lenky was distressed by what we were facing. For years he had lived as the previous Don's right hand and throughout that time he had come to know me when I had become a member.

Lenky was no saint. He had his share of judgment to face for dirty, dire and deadly deeds but I could see that he hated that one of those deeds was being a part of what was unfolding here.

I found myself wanting to tell Lenky to untie me but I knew his loyalty was not to me. I wrestled again with the bonds but it only held secured as before.

"Here drink the rest of this and save yuh strength yuh a guh need it," he told me placing the bottle at my lips

As I drank greedily the water my eyes took in my surroundings as I listened for any sounds that could help me pinpoint where I was. No sounds just a packed enclosure filled with wooden and plastic crates.

Lenky was screwing the cork on the empty water bottle when I heard a door open. Lenky quickly moved away from me as he watched my adversary come to stand in front of me.

With a spliff tail nestled at the corner of his mouth, his bloodshot eyes stared coldly down at me. He was attired in all black from the bandana on his head down to his combat boots.

"What's up doc," he said in a mangled impression of Bugs Bunny.

I scowled at him as he laughed at his sense of humour which he did not possess. To think I had believed him capable of change worthy of my support.

"Weh Laynie deh?" I barked as my composure began to wear thin.

He smiled but it held no humor. He casually walked up to one of the wooden crates and sat on it and stared at him.

"Yuh know seh tings neva affi come to dis dawg," he drawled. " Yuy mek a pussy fuck up mi ting star."

"Listen cut the chit chat where is Laynie? I swear to God if yuh hurt ar mi guh k---"

"Whack! Wham! Slam!"

The words died on my lips as Bounty moved from the crate with the speed of a cat in fright and sent his palm firmly against my cheek in a resounding slap followed by his knuckles to my jaw and a brutal right hand to my stomach.

I cough and sputtered blood on my chest and pants as pain crippled his abdomen and my busted inner cheek bled.

"Yuh tink yuh can threaten mi bwoy," he said putting his face inches away from mine. "Yuh have no power yasso. Mi a yuh Lawd and Jesus a pray yuh fi a pray to mi fi mercy fi yuh n yuh gyal!"

He pushed the chair I was sitting on and bound to violently and sent it toppling over. I found myself on my side on the ground and left to the mercy of Bounty's hard combat boot.

"I -Am -The- Don!" he screamed as he punctuated each blow with the words like a mantra I clenched my bound fist in pain.

I was sure two of my ribs were broken. I sighed in relief as he stopped but I was not made to have any relief because he was now ready to play his ace.

"Yuh tink yuh an Lamias can disrespect mi?! Mi a guh show yuh who a guh have the last laugh."

I coughed as I tried to catch my breath. The pain had slightly started to subside and my eyes watery followed him as he spoke.

"Am going to enjoy you go up in flames like Lamais's beloved Church when you watch mi mek yuh gyal suck mi off before mi fuck ar good," he said with a smirk.

"Bounty you piece of shit!" I screamed as I wrestled with the bonds using all my strength to try to break free. "Leave her alone," I cried.

Tears of anger and frustration scald my cheeks as I wrestled some more only to find myself still bound. He stared at me menacingly as I fought to break free.

"Yuh know mi nuh like people gwaan like dem better dan mi. The minute yuh try dat mi dun yuh rass. Seanna an yuh little combolo Deekie learn dat d hard way an a fi yuh an Lamais time now fi learn."

"No!" I screamed as I heard him speaking into a phone he took from his pants pocket.

"Bring in the bitch."
