Chapter Nine: Torture.

"Don't get tired, we haven't even started." Carmichael said and got up from his chair. His hands behind his back.

"Please... I don't know what you want from me." Derek yelled.

"You know exactly what i want." Carmichael said caressing the silencer in his back pocket. "So... Give me what I want or get a bullet to your leg." Carmichael continued drawing out the silencer from his back pocket, He pressed it to Derek's leg,the safety off.

"No...." Martha whimpered.

"Yes."Carmichael smirk." Least i forget.. Where is your daughter?." He asked and withdrew his gun.

Derek shivers inwardly when he had the question. "She went to her friend place." He heaved out.

"Is that so?" Asked Carmichael to Martha.

"Y..es." Martha stuttered.

Carmichael watched them, after a minute or two he let out and sign. "Fine... I will believe you." He said and turned away from them.

Derek heaved a sign of relief.

"For Now." He continued and turned towards Derek. His gun pressed back on his thigh. "One last time." He cock the gun. " Where is the chip?"

Derek was sweating profusely. "I have told you... I don't have it."

Derek let out a screeching sound when the bullet pierce through his thigh , blood dripping out. Martha yelp, tears flowing down her eyes as she sobs loudly.

"Gag her up." Carmichael ordered.

"Yes Boss." Carlos answered, he grabbed a paper towel and forced it into her mouth. He then move two step back his hands folded as he watched the scene in front of him.

"Good." Hummmed Carmichael." Back to you." He said looking at Derek. "The next bullet goes into your other thigh."

Derek shudder, his thigh was paining him. He inhaled and exhaled. "I seriously don't have it." He breathe out.

Carmichael walked back to his chair and slumped on it with a heavy sign. "You don't have it. But i am sure you know where it is." He stated looking at Derek. "You Dad gave you the chip before he died."

Derek was disgrunted, his leg was already feeling numb." He did." He said and shook his leg trying to bring back the feeling to his leg. "I misplaced it." It was indeed true that his dad gave him the chip,But he was more surprised about how Carmichael knew about it.

"You Misplaced it." Thundered Carmichael.

"Ye..s." Derek stuttered in fright . He knew very well what his brother was capable of doing especially when it is something he desperately needs. He closed his eyes praying and hoping the next bullet won't be painful.

Carmichael inhaled slowly and looked at his brother, he let out a dark smirk when he saw his eyes shut closed. " I understand." He said calmly.

Derek opened his eyes immediately. He definitely wasn't expecting that calm tone. He closed his eyes thinking he was dreaming and then opened it later to see the smile on Carmichael's face. But what he was unable to see was the dark thought behind those smile.

Carmichael gently sat back on his seat, His legs folded.

His men were already shivering they knew just how scary it can be when he is this calm. Philip shivered remembering when he angered his boss and how he was called to the office just to be dismissed with a wave and a smile, how he went back to his duty thinking he was free though the other men kept giving him pitiful glance but then he thought it was nothing. How he wish he had knew what those glance meant.

He had to find out the next day.Since then he promised never to angered his boss. He shook his head to get rid of those terrifying thought and stared at his boss.

All Carmichael's men had the same thought as they stared at their boss.

Carmichael could not wait to unleased what he had in mind for his dear brother. 'Its been long someone angered him like this." He thought and laughed sofly.

Even Martha could tell that something bad was about to happened, but she could not talk since her mouth was occupied she could only stared at her husband in fear. Hoping and praying nothing bad happens to him.

Derek who was unaware of his impending doom had on a smile on his face, he let out a relieve breath and relaxed more into his seat.

Carmichael look away and rub his hands together, the deathly smirk till on his face. He loves to make his captive feel relieved just for him to crush it off, The thought if it excite him.

He let out a loud laugh. "Ha ha ha." Turns towards Derek.

Derek let out a yelp from seeing the evil smirk Carmichael was sending him, He close his eyes and let out a silent prayer. He then turned towards his wife. "I love you." He said

"Love you." Martha said sobbing loudly.

Derek smiled at her before facing Carmichael with a glare of his own, he wasn't going down easily, not without a fight.

"Show time." He thought.

Carmichael was taken aback by his glare, he was expecting him to shiver in fear but here he was facing it head on. 'Always the arrogant brat.' he thought and let out a scoff.

Derek glared at Carmichael his head held on high, even though he was tied up and on the loosing end ,He refused to let it show. He wasn't going down without a fight, that was not how he became the C.E.O of Amazonian inc Tech and this was definitely not how he wanted to go. He shook his head and clench his teeth,his hateful eyes on Carmichael.

Carmichael let out a deep loud laugh when he saw the glare his step brother was sending his way." Let him enjoy his last stand while he still can." He thought with a smirk laughing loudly.

His men stared at him wondering what he must be thinking then turn to Derek , they shook their head in pity knowing fully well that he was already done for.

Philip gave a nod to his boss silent command before untying Martha who wailed loudly and fought to escape his grip. But Philip kept a tight grip on her,securing both of her hands rendering her helpless.
