My Little Sunshine

Chapter 298: What Do You Have To Say In Your Defense?

With a devilish grin tugging at the corners of his lips, he extended his hand towards the door knob and turned it slightly.

With slow and firm steps, Adam walked inside the room with Blake in tow. The very moment the two men stepped inside, they couldn't help but scrunch their noses as the metallic odor of soiled blood wafted up their senses.

Adam's eyes wandered around the room which looked more like a torture cell with paint srapping off the walls at certain places and the eerie silence which lingered in the air. It wasn't that they couldn't get the paint fixed and get the walls tinted with a nice, mellow shade instead of the splashes of deep moron liquid. They wanted people to tremble with fear the moment they were brought to this room.

"Turn the lights on." He instructed one of the four men who were standing by the wall on his left in a line with their heads bowed down. The yellow lamp hanging down from the ceiling barely helped him with his vision. He wanted to see with his own eyes the damage his men had done to the traitor.

"Yes, Boss!" One of the men, who was standing close to the switches, spoke up in a flat tone. He more or less sounded like a robot who was just programmed to follow the commands given by its owner. But then again, that was how they were trained in the first place, to be cold blooded assassins.

As some clicking sounds filled the eerie silence, white flickering like invaded the room, blinding the people for a fleeting second except for the lone figure which was thrown in the other corner of the room with his face covered by a black mask.

"Well, well! Who do we have here?" Adam spoke up in an annoyed tone which was laced with nothing but seething rage.

The moment he found out that this man was missing after resigning from his post right before Parker went missing. Even the best of his men were not able to find him. If it wasn't for Carston helping him out, he might have not been able to get his hands on this man.

"Pull off the mask." He added in a gruff tone to which one of the men complied while blake continued to stand behind him, giving the reins in his hands.

After the man's face was visible, Adam sauntered over to him, not bothering himself to be mindful of the puddles of clotted blood lying on the floor. 

"I hope you are having a great time here." He stared back into the man's horrified eyes and muttered under his breath. The sudden rush of blood lust which was building within him was making it hard for him to keep a leash around his sanity. 

He gritted his teeth to control the building rage within him as he stared at the man with a hateful gaze. If it wasn't for him betraying the company, then Parker wouldn't have gone missing and he wouldn't have walked into Taylor's trap. What mattered to him more was the time he was forced to spend away from his beloved woman. He wasn't by her side when she needed him the most. He wasn't there to get to know about the existence of his children. 

All because one of his subordinates betrayed him. 

The man let out a muffled cry as he stared back into Adam's eyes. For him, the man before him who was his boss formerly, looked no less than the grim reaper. As he stared into his burning orbs, he couldn't think of the dreadful time when he was forced to betray his boss.

*FLASHBACK*

"How are things going over at the new site?" Taylor asked the man who was sitting across him. He could see the man tremble slightly in fear, making him smile. He was right to fear him, for he could ruin him and his entire family, along with generations to come. 

"It's going well so far, just like you asked." The man, who was wearing a light beige suit, replied as he shoved one of his hands inside his pants' pockets, as if looking for something.

A few minutes later, he took out a black colored flash drive and passed it to him with shivering hands. 

"It has all the details of the project, including the layout of the site." The man added with his trembling voice. 

"Good job." Taylor picked up the drive as a sinister smile adorned his face. 

"I did exactly what you asked me to. Please don't harm my family, I beg you." The man pleaded.

"Don't worry, I won't harm them. You fulfilled your end of the bargain, it's my turn to fulfill mine. Your family will be left unscathed." Taylor added before he flicked his fingers. 

A man who was standing by the door of the room walked towards the couch where Taylor was sitting. He came to a halt a few steps away from him and bowed his head. 

"Take him to see his family. And make sure you drop them by their house. It would be rude to make our guests go by themselves. We should show him some hospitality, right?" He spoke to the man clad in black, who nodded his head slightly before guiding the man out of the room. 

"I have one more request Mr. Taylor. Please don't let Boss know that I am the one who had betrayed him. 

*FLASHBACK ENDS*

Adam bent forward and pulled down the piece of cloth which was wound over his lips, preventing the man from speaking as he questioned him. "What do you have to say in your defence?" 

Like always he was giving the other party a chance to speak first before he had his say. His eyes roamed over the man's bare torso, which had a number of bandages wound around it to prevent him from bleeding out too much, as he waited for his answer.
