The Bid
948 Words
This morning was horrible. Three of my guys got shot. When our warehouse was robed. Our new shipment was tampered with at the docks. We're running late for the auction.
I was angry. We have a f*****g rat in our family. I'm not in the mood to go to this auction. But there's something about this girl. It keeps pulling me to this place.
We were dressed in our suits. Sitting in the back of the limousine. My phone is ringing off the hook. My guys letting me know what happened.
Those bastards think they can walk in taking what's not there's. I will make them all pay.
We pulled up to the auction. The limousine came to a stop. Jerry got out and opened our door. We stepped out and heads were turned our way.
The crowd parted so we three could walk in. We went in the black double doors and then turned left. We walked upstairs to the second floor. To the
third room. I opened the door. Stepping in. I looked out the glass onto the stage. There stood this girl chained to a f*****g post. She was dressed in a two piece feathered outfit with wings.
I opened the pamplet and read it. The girl that's chained to a post is the girl name Angel. I picked up the binoculars and looked through them at the girl.
She was purple and blue. Marks plastered across her flesh. I looked at her arms and one looked like it was broke.
My anger grew. I sat down and stared at that girl. I don't know what it is but Im buying her. It could be that she is beatened really bad. Making me want to protect her. She's going to be in our family now.
No one will ever touch her like they did. I will break every bones in there body. When my two brothers asked me if I was okay. I turned to them and said, "No? That poor girl is beatened really bad and they chained her to a f*****g post."
Negan got up taking the binoculars away from me. He looked out on the stage and saw the poor girl chained to the post. He steps back. I could see the anger grow in his eyes. I knew he needed to step out before he break the f*****g glass. He turns to me.I nod my head . He hands Loki the binoculars and walks out the door. Slamming it shut.
Loki stands up and looks at the poor girl. His face also grew with anger. He steps back and sets down. He just stares straight. I can see the pain in his eyes. I know everything that he went through is coming back to him. Him and her has something in common. They both went through hell. The different is we found him before anything was broke.
This poor girl you can tell she has a broken hand. How could some sick bastards do this to her.
My watch went off telling me its time for the auction.We sat there looking at beautiful girls being auctioned off. My sights was on only one. The Battered Angel. She was mine. I don't care how much she is. I'd pay anything for her. That's how much I wanted this broken angel.
We sat through hundreds of girls and there's still no Negan. I have never seen him like this. This was different.
Finally the last ten girls came out. They were all smiles in there little bitty skirts and tank tops on. They danced around the stage.
Men wristling and shouting at them. My eye drew to the poor girl chained to the post. You can tell she was about to fall. I sat there watching her. The bidding started and those girls were going fast. I didn't care about them.
They finally sold the last girl to Joe. I knew he would buy some.He said, " he needed some."
Then the light shined on her. I stood up grabbing my black card. It stands for One
Million dollars. Then what the auctioneer said, "Broke my heart. He was telling everyone that she could be there punching bag or a good fuck."
I balled up my fist. Then the man smiled and says let's start at 25,000. The man in the third row.Held up his card. Then the man in the tenth row held up his for 50,000.
I held up my black one for One million dollars. The guy on the stage. He points at me and says, "One million going once. Going twice.. Sold to the Mafia King in the third room."
I tilted my head.I turned around and left out of the room. Loki followed close behind me. We went down stairs and paid the lady. She told me to go around the back.
We left out of the front.Jerry and Negan was standing by the limousine smoking a cigarette. You can tell he was still angry. I put my hand on his shoulder and said, "I bought her brother."
He nodded and we got in. Driving around the back. Jerry stopped at the double doors. There she stood. Our broken Angel. She was shaking. I got out taking off my jacket wrapping it around her. Helping her in. She didn't say anything except looking down at the floor.
Negan looked at her. His anger started to grow. I touched his hand. He looked up at me. I pointed at the broken angel.
He took a deep breath and looked out the window. Not saying a word. We left out of the parking lot and headed back to our home.
