Colin smugly leaned back: “Rusty, these are your options:

  1. I begin killing your family until you tell me what I want.
  2. I torture you until you tell me what I want.
  3. You tell me what I want; I shoot you quickly and take care of your family.”

Colin leaned in towards the table: “One way or another, you’re gonna tell me what I want. That is what’s happening today.”

Rusty watched Elise leave the kitchen: “That’s one of my men. Right now.”

A tear ran down Rusty’s cheek as he shook violently: “FINE! Fine. Leave them alone!”

Colin nodded: “Okay.”
