Chapter 20 - Chapter 20: Face/Off

I end up falling asleep in the dark room for who knows how long until I hear a heavy door open and I see a hulking figure with a mask on walking towards me.

"Oh great" 

He picks me up by my hoodie and pushes me towards the door 

"Walk..."

"How about you just carry me?"

He slaps me across the face 

"Get moving"

I walk outside, the park is empty so it must've been closed for a while. He leads me to the back where everyone is at and Hill is standing there waiting for me. The big guy pushes me towards Hill and I fall to the ground in front of him 

"Oh jay... I'm so disappointed in you"

I just look up at him 

"I didn't do anything"

He back hands me across my face and everyone turns around when they hear the slap. Hill bends over and whispers to me 

"You think I'm stupid?"

"Just a little"

He slaps me again, this time I feel some blood in my mouth 

"You don't think I have my own personal cameras set inside that safe. The silent alarm went off and I see your face in the camera. Now you're not going to like what's going to happen to you"

"What you gonna shoot me?"

He lets out a little laugh and pulls my hair back 

"No... I'm going to beat the fucking life out of you in front of everyone"

Hill starts punching me across my face over and over, I feel blood running down my nose and face, also in mouth. He punches me again and I fall over, I look up and I see all the workers looking on with shocked faces, then I see Lexi trying to hold it together. He lifts me up again and then kicks me in the face and I fall over face down into the soft ground. I then hear Hill yelling to everyone 

"Take a look everyone! He's being punished for not doing what I ask of him..."

Everything starts to fade out as I'm going in and out of consciousness. But I can hear the last thing he says

"....I care about you guys, this is why I'm doing this"

Then I muster out some words 

"Bullshit..."

Hill turns and looks at me 

"What was that??"

I spit out some blood and smile at him 

"I said bullshit... you don't give a fuck about them"

"Oh yeah, why don't we ask Cherry how much i care about her"

"Alexandra..."

"What!?!"

"Her name...."

I struggle to my feet and look into his eyes

"Her name... is Alexandra."

Hill laughs 

"Oh she told you her real name did she. You think that means something? Don't forget who took her in, who gave her everything, gave her a chance at life again because without me she would be back at another psych ward right now. And that goes for the rest of you as well!! Without me you guys would all either be locked up or in a fucking padded cell! you all should be thanking me!"

I look around and I see them all just look around and say nothing 

"Fuck all that!! Hey listen up!! Don't listen to this piece of shit. He just looks at all of you and you know what he sees... slaves and dollar signs. He lines his pockets every fucking year while telling you all that your payment is your 'freedom' when in reality he's playing all of you."

I hear some mumbling then Hill shouts out

"You're really going to listen to him!!?! A fucking kid that just showed up a couple months ago over the man that helped you get back to your feet, feeds you and clothes you!! You should all be grateful for someone like me!"

"Tell them..."

"What was that?"

"I said tell them or I will..."

"I don't know what you're talking about"

"You know exactly what the fuck I'm talking about. NOW TELL THEM!!"

Hill looks around as everyone stares

"He has a safe filled with gold, jewelry, loads of money that every single one of you can use to build your own lives.."

"Don't listen to him!"

"He doesn't give a fuck about you!!"

"Don't let him tear our family apart!"

"He has all of you thinking that you're nothing but monsters that should be kissing at his feet when in reality he's the monster!"

I look at hill just staring at me 

"You... Sonny. You're the fucking monster. You took these lost souls and made them feel wanted after everything they've all been through but it was all built off a lie. You used them for your own benefit while you gave them bare minimum while you lived it up. You had them killing innocent people for your own sick desires to keep that mentality that they're sick psychopaths when in reality they were misunderstood. You brainwashed all of them. But now they see you for who you really are"

He looks around then back at me 

"Hmmm very good speech Jay but as I'm standing and looking it doesn't seem like it was moving. I guess I should go back to beating the life out of you"

"You're lucky I have these cuffs on"

"Excuse me?!?"

"You're so big and bad that you have to keep me handcuffed to do something... how about you take these off me and see how tough you really are"

He looks over to one of his lackeys and motions him to take off the cuffs. When the cuffs are off I put my hands up and he starts circling me 

"Trust me Jay... with or without cuffs... you're a dead man"

"Let's see what your old ass does when someone can actually fight back"

Hill starts beating my ass after that shit I just started talking. I get up and spit some blood out my mouth and smile at him 

"Is that it?"

He knocks me down again and this time he keeps beating me in the ground and I just laugh and smile at him

"You hit like a bitch"

He then lifts me up and throws one more right hook and leaves me on the ground disoriented. Blood just streaming down my face. He turns his back and looks at everyone 

"Is this supposed to be your hero?!? Huh?!? Zeke!?!"

He looks at Zeke and he lowers his head 

"Cherry?!?"

Alexandra has tears streaming down her face 

"That's what I thought"

As his back is still turned I see a brick next to me and I grab it and slowly stand up. He turns around and smack the brick across his face and he falls to ground. I rush him and continue beating him with the brick until his face is almost unrecognizable. His goons tried to jump in but seeing what I had done the rest of the workers jumped in and took them out, fighting back against the people that have held them down for so long. Once I stop beating Hills face in with the brick he's no longer breathing, I stand over his lifeless body and spit my blood on it as everyone stands around me. 

"Throw their bodies into the fire..."

I say as I stumble away from the chaos, Lexi comes and lifts me up and tries to help me to her RV but struggles as I've lost quite a bit of blood and feel weak and wanting to pass out. Zeke rushes over to help her as I start fading out but I hear Lexi's voice 

"... There should be a kit in his office!"

That's all I hear before everything fades to black.
