Vato was scared. I could feel his body shaking in my tight, telekinetic grasp, but to my surprise, he didn't say shit as I freed his mouth.

The fact that Tihana and Celestine were safe, gave me peace of mind, so I could finally be aware of the details, which before would escape my attention.

The dude under the feeling was a tall and slim guy, with short dark hair, very short - military style. He was also shaved clean. He had a big hooked nose but overall was quite good-looking. A black leather jacket, over an elegant red shirt, and pants made out of cotton, also black, plus all the gold on his neck and wrists made him look like somebody important.

I bet he enjoyed his life as a member of the cartel.

- You kidnapped my family, you know that? Well, now it doesn't matter. I need to know everybody you know from 'La X'. Doesn't matter who they are. A big fish, or a small one. I need to know them all. So, the question is, are you willing to cooperate, or are we doing it in a more fun way? - I asked.

His mouth reminded shut, which made me very happy since I was very damn bloodthirsty. I didn't care about myself, but when somebody was to put as much as a finger on my family, I was very quick to unleash my wrath.

- Great - I said, and snapped one of the bones in his right hand. - The same question, round two. I'm waiting for an answer.

A groan escaped his mouth this time, but that was it.

- We have to, unfortunately, do it fast, because there is probably the FBI on the way, so yeah... They would ruin the fun, wouldn't they? Anyway, the same question, round number three - I said, as I snapped the second bone.

- ARGH! - he groaned again. - I'm not telling you shit.

- You realize, that I can just dig into your brain and find out anyway, so I'm getting that information whether you want it or not, but as you can see, I still want with the more traditional approach, so by all means, keep silent - I said. - By the way, same question, round number four.

Another bone got snapped, with a loud click.

- Mrrrhm! - he almost growled. - Fuck you!

- Yeah, you wish... - I joked, then snapped another bone. - Round number five.

- ARGH! You don't understand, you idiot! 'La X' can do much worse than just kill me - he growled.

This made me think a bit. The two options were that they would use torture before killing him, and second, was that they would go after those he loved. Since I was already torturing him, there was actually only one potion.

- Ok, new question. Do you have a family? - I asked. - Remember, I can find that out anyway, so you are just choosing the more painful way, but the destination is the same.

- Fuck you! - he yelled. - Fuck you!

- Look. In this situation I'm might sound weird, but I am a family man, so if you do have a family, they will be safe from me. I have nothing against them, but I have everything against 'La X'. I'm gonna wipe them all out one way or another, and it happens today, so to be honest, I don't know why are you struggling so much - I shrugged my shoulders.

My words only made him confused. He needed a moment to digest them, and I, like a complete dick, interrupted him by snapping another one of his bones. After all, he didn't answer the question.

- AAARGH!

- Not my fault, you didn't answer the question - I explained myself.

- You fucking psycho! - he yelled.

- Let's not use names, ok? I could call you a few too, but I'm restraining myself, so you should too. So, are you ready to give me names and locations? Or shall we continue with breaking? - I proposed.

- Fine! Fine! You fucking bastard! I'll tell you. But my family and I go free - he said.

- No. You are not getting free. You were the one to kidnap my family, so there is no fucking way you are going free, but I can leave alone your family, as long as they aren't a part of the cartel - I offered.

- Fou fucking psycho! No, my family is not part of this! ARGHHH! Fine, I'll tell you what you want to know - he freaked out.

I think that the pain was slowly getting too strong for him to handle. Or maybe it was a combination of violence, despair, and fear. Maybe also a little bit of love for the people who he cared about.

I dropped him down, so he slammed into the floor, breaking his nose. Then he wrote me on a piece of paper a list of names, with addresses.

- I'm gonna check those places - I informed him as I stood up, taking the piece of paper from the desk. - If I'm happy by the end of the day, we are finished here, but until then you are staying alive.historical

Then I grabbed him, shadow walked us to Loistavadvaar, where I left him under a guard of quite a bunch of my shadows. I also took his phone, since I didn't have mine. Then I returned, just to hear a bunch of police sirens.

Stepping out of the building allowed me to see a few dozen of police cars. There were many officers there, and quite a bunch of them pointed their guns at me. The FBI was also there. They obviously were armed too.

Some people yelled something at me, but with all the noise, flashy lights, and overall chaos, it was too hard to understand why. I bet they wanted me to surrender or something. There was no fucking way I would surrender.

To make things more interesting, I shadow walked straight to the center, causing even worse mayhem. Seeing all the officers and agents freaking out brought a smile to my face.

People immediately started yelling, and all the guns got directed at me. A chuckle left my mouth. I just couldn't help it.
