Vincent looked at me like you would an old friend as we spoke to each other "you all right there's no reason for you to be so nervous with me. Here have some dwarven wine everyone knows they make the best alcohol".
He picks up two glass of wine fills one cup for himself then places the other in front of me.
I look right at Vincent's face as I tell him "I'm fine, let's just get this over with".
"Getting right down to it I like that all right than Claire bring Ingram" Vincent looked to his left at the woman with a scar on her lip who was wearing a pants suit. She gave him a slight nod before she walked off into the backroom behind Vincent.
It wasn't long before she returned with an almost completely naked man with a black sack over his head with a loincloth for pants. His hands and feet were chained he was covered in freshly made wounds on every part of his body that blood still dripped from. He was missing fingernails, fingers, and a few toes it looked like they starved the man as well because his ribs were showing while his gut was sticking out a bit.
I had never seen such cruelty in person before so I was a little upset but more worried when I tell him I have no money. All this made my heart race with worry, fear, but also excitement it almost as if I'm developing some kind of thrill for stuff like this which is bad, I really don't want stuff this to become my guilty pleasure.
Claire walked the chained up man named Ingram into the cell next to me. He made muffled sounds every time he stepped forward it made me wonder what kind of hell he had been through while at the same time I didn't care.
While I may be sympathetic I didn't know the man nor do I plan to. It's going to be difficult saving my own ass let alone someone else.
When Claire put Ingram into the cell she than removed the sack on his head letting me see the person who brought me all this unnecessary trouble after I just started this new life of mine.
He looked like he was 15, but In this world where someone who looks like there 5 could actually turn out to be someone grand-dad or grandma, it's hard for me to tell. His face was filled with pain but when he looked up he started crying tears of joy because when he saw me he saw hope.
Looking at his face brought no joy to me but a distinct displeasure than a burning rage not because I could fully see what they did to his face. The boy's ear that got cut off, the few teeth that got pulled out, and swollen eye gave me no concerns it was the few memories that came flooding back that pissed me off.
The stupid boy Ingram found out that old man and Vincent us to be friends he then used that info to join Vincent's crew. Ingram never told that old man what he had done if he did I doubt he would have allowed Ingram to join Vincent gang.
After joining Vincent gang he got greedy the little power he got when shoving losers around and money got to his head. Eventually, he got addicted to pixie dust and skooma he took some for himself and even sold some for his own profit until he got caught.
Vincent and that old man may have had a past but that was years ago. People change and Vincent most definitely did it was only out of the kindness of Vincent's heart and what little history they had that the old man was able to take on the that idiots debt.
Since that old man is dead I'm left with this huge mess, uhh ... I wonder if I can talk my way out of this.
Vincent took a sip of the wine in front of him as we got to discussing the matter at hand " I'm quite sorry about that you have to see this boy of yours like this Iknow you took care of him like he was your own son, but I had to make an example out of him you understand its apart of the business".
"Of course I understand I would have handled it no different if I was In your shoes"
"I'm glad you understand now if you would be so kind as to hand me my money then you can be on your way with that pile of trash". Vincent gestures over to Ingram as he takes another sip of his drink.
"I don't think I'll be doing that, you see I had some time to think allowing me to realize something this is not my problem. Ingram stole from you he knew exactly what he was doing if he wanted me involved with this he would have told me well before the day he came to join up with you".
Ingram had a look of utter shock from what he heard not wanting to believe a word of it he struggled and started banging on the iron bars trying to say something to me but couldn't with his mouth still gaged. Claire came and delivered a swift kick to his face forcing him to fall back on the floor shutting him up.
Vincent looked at me with surprise on his face definitely not believing what he had just heard "that's cold-blooded Desmond even for me saying all that while the guy was in the room no less who would have known you had it in you. So, what was the point of all this coming here convincing me to not kill him, taking his debt onto yourself than abandoning him when the deadline is up".
"It was a moment of weakness I thought I meant more to him now I'm showing him what he means to me". With absolute calm, I tell him outright that the kid means nothing to me hope he will just kill Ingram already and leave me alone.

"That's nice to know, but you signed a pretty severe contract witnessed by Theotera and if you remember what it said failure to uphold payment will result in a few possible outcomes but my favorite stipulation is that you relinquish all your rights to me and hand over your will fragment. It doesn't matter if you had a change of heart or not the contract is binding". Vincent was having himself a good laugh even his goons were having themselves a good chuckle.
A contract witnessed by the world such a thing is possible here what's the point of sending people to look after me then. Hmm ... didn't Ross mention he was afraid I broke my contract while he was kicking my ass. Either way, this is really not good for me it's impossible to get his money even then I didn't think he would care.
Vincent finished laughing took another sip of his drink then looked right at me "let's see what I could do with you I don't need a slave and I would actually like to make some of the money Ingram took from me back so let's see.
Selling you to a magi for experimentation is an option but your just like any of the other dozen test subjects they have. I could also harvest your organs than sell those you never know who would need them, this is a tough decision.
Vincent was thinking for a bit when the guy with the mullet suddenly spoke: "hay boss why don't we just use his body to ferment that new drug".
When Vincent heard what Nick said it was like a light bulb went off in his head "that's brilliant I completely forgot about that".
"You have got to be kidding me what kind of drug needs to be ferment in a person's body".
While I was sitting there listening to what they were possibly going to do to me I just couldn't take it anymore I started laughing loudly. I was holding my stomach while laughing everyone was looking at me laughing louder and harder than they ever did in confusion.
Confused as to why Desmond was laughing especially after what he heard them talk about he asked him"what's so funny".
Me still laughing showing my toothless gums reply "THIS!".
Without warning and before everyone in the room could fully process what they were looking at I pointed a blood covered gun in between Vincent's eyes and pulled the trigger.
BANG!!!
