The Pleasure of Pain 2

by Shameek Speight

  "Yea I would like to know the same thing." Vanessa said.

  "The only one that never really questioned me is Layla. I told y'all to just trust me. There's a reason and a season for everything." Tess replied.

  "Layla don't question you because that's your damn daughter, she will follow your ass blindly." Iris responded.

  "Just like the two of you should do, and speaking of daughters, where are the girls?" Tess asked.

  "Oh Ms. Linda is getting them ready and dressing them in their swimsuits to come out and play in the water, and I think your new pet project is going to come outside today as well. If she even looks like she's going to run I'll lay her ass down." Iris stated.

  "She's not a pet project and her name is Marina, Iris, and she won't run. I trust…" Tess stops in the middle of her sentence as the sound of a helicopter could be heard above them, then one in front of them.

  Tess, Vanessa, Layla and Iris quickly counted six helicopters and their hearts race as a man dressed in tactical assault armor and a blue windbreaker jacket on hangs on out the side door of the helicopter with a bullhorn in his hand.

  "This is the F.B.I.! We have you surrounded there's no use in trying escape! Surrender peacefully Teflon Divas, now!" He shouted.

  "Hahaha!" Tess laughed and digs her hands into the sand and pulls out two MP5 9mm sub-machine guns, at the same time Vanessa digs her hands in the sand and pulls out a long m4 rifle. While Layla pulls out a 2.57 automatic sniper rifle that shoots four bullets at once, in a second.

  Iris pulls out her Mac 10 and squeezes the trigger being the first one to set it off.

  "Fuck the police!" She screamed as bullets rip and tore through one of the helicopters.

  Tactical swat team F.B.I. agents start to repel out of the helicopters on ropes. Tess squeezes the trigger to both MP5 9mm sub-machine gun's simultaneously sending a hail of bullets into four F.B.I. agents that were sliding down on the ropes.

  "We have to get back in the house I have a secret escape route!" She shouted while firing and pops up off the sand.

  Vanessa lets a burst of rapid fire tear through one of the helicopters, hitting the pilot. The helicopter filled with F.B.I. agents crashes into the ocean and blows up in flames. Layla squeezes the trigger repeatedly sending bullets crashing into the center of foreheads of F.B.I. agents that were repelling out of the helicopter, their heads split in half.

  "Keep moving! We have to get in the house!" Tess shouted as more and more F.B.I. agents came out of different helicopters, firing at them.

  "Where not going to make it, it's too many of them, they have the high ground and we got no were to duck for cover we're left out in the open." Vanessa shouted.

  "Come on! Come on you fuckers! Ahhh!" Iris screams with her facial expression balled up in rage as she sent rapid fire into another helicopter and a few F.B.I. agents.

  Tess' stomach bubbles up as she fears the worse. 'We're going to all die out here if we can't make it back to the house.' She thought to herself then looks back at the two-story beach house. Her eyes opened up wide with shock, as she seen Ms. Linda's old frame standing in the doorway with a black rocket launcher on her shoulder. Ms. Linda squeezes the trigger. A rocket flew out and slams into the nearest helicopter.

  'Boom'

  A loud explosion went off that startled everybody, even Tess and her team. Ms. Linda drops the rocket launcher and bends down and picks up a chrome grenade launcher and with a weak throw, tosses it onto the sand. Tess ducks and rolls while dropping both her MP5 9mm and grabs the grenade launcher. She stood squat down on one knee and aims then squeezes the trigger repeatedly. The recall from the grenade launcher jerks her body back but she stood firm as grenades flew inside the open door of three of the helicopters and one grenade flew into a window of a helicopter blowing them all up into pieces.

  Layla, Vanessa and Iris duck low to the ground as pieces of the helicopters flew everywhere along with body parts.

  "Come on! Let's go!" Tess shouted as swat vans pull up behind the house and some were driving on the beach towards the house, while more helicopters could be heard coming. They ran into the house.

  "Grab what you have to and meet me in the kitchen!" Tess ordered.

  "Ms. Linda, are the girls ready? Bring then down now!" Tess said into the tiny two-way receiver in her ear then stops in her tracks when Ms. Linda didn't reply.

  Ms. Linda is everything okay? Bring the girls now she said." Then her heart races as she got no response again.

  "Something is wrong." Tess said into the two-way receiver.

  Iris, Layla and Vanessa follow Tess up the stairs while reloading their guns. Tess slowly opens Ayoyna and Isis room door. The bright pink walls were the only thing she could see at first, until the door open up fully. She instantly regrets not having a 9mm or machine gun, for just a single shot, but she only had the chrome grenade launcher and knew that it couldn't do the job. As she stares at her daughter and Isis in little chrome handcuffs with their wrist connected to each other and Ms. Linda on her knees crying. While Marina stood ducked low behind the three with a black 9mm pointed at Ms. Linda's head.

  "I'm sorry Tess she caught me off guard when I went to grab the girls." Ms. Linda said while tears stream down her cheeks.

  "Mommy! Mommy! Mommy!" Ayoyna and Isis cried out and started to walk towards Tess.

  "Aye! Don't you two fucking move! Tell them to stay right there or their grandma as they like to call her will get badly hurt!" Marina shouted while pushing the barrel of the gun even harder onto the back of Ms. Linda's head.

  "Let me take her out, Tess were running out of time!" Layla said while raising her sniper rifle to her shoulder and brushing Tess out the way as she aims for Marina's head.

  "No don't! Even if you hit her, she still can squeeze the trigger even after she's dead as a reaction and kill Ms. Linda, and besides we're already out of time. I can hear the F.B.I. agents downstairs in the house and that's where our escape route is. Marina, why are you doing this?" Tess asks looking her dead in the eyes.

  "Because I'm an undercover federal agent and you're under arrest!" Marina said in a demanding tone.

  "It's not over yet! There's c-4 explosives planted already in this house and buried in the sand, all I have to do is press this button on this device and the agents outside are done for!" Vanessa shouted.

  "Then so will these innocent little girls." Marina said as F.B.I. agents armed with M4 and M16 rifles run up the stairs and surrounded Tess and her team.

  "I'm not going out like any punk!" Iris shouted as she prepares to squeeze the trigger to her Mac 10.

  "No Iris don't do it, drop the gun, we can't put Isis and Ayoyna in danger." Tess said as she drops her grenade launcher.

  Vanessa and Layla drop their weapons as well. Iris stares at the group of F.B.I. agents, pointing their guns at her. She grits her teeth and drops her guns. F.B.I. agents rush them, tossing them to the ground and cuffs their ankles and wrist.

  "Ughhh!" Layla groans in pain as one of the F.B.I. agents kick her in the ribs.

  "Don't you fucking touch her!" Tess shouted with spit flying out her mouth.

  "Shut the fuck up! Do you know how many of my men and close friends you bitches just killed, in a blink of an eye?" A tall muscular Caucasian F.B.I. agent said then kicks Tess in the ribs.

  "Ughhh!" Tess grunted in pain then stares at him.

  "If you touch anyone from my team again, you will be joining your dead friends shortly!" She said meaning every word.

  "Hahaha!" The tall muscular F.B.I. agent laughs then kicks Iris in the ribs.

  Tess rolls over onto her back before any of the F.B.I. agents realized what she was doing she had lift her legs straight up into the air. With years of yoga training mix with martial arts she was able to lift her hands from behind her back over her legs and pop straight up onto the soles of her feet and leap into the air locking her thick thighs around the tall muscular F.B.I. agents neck, flipping him to the floor.

  "Get her! St
op her!" The other F.B.I. agents yelled while trying to pull Tess off of the tall muscular agent.

  He gasps for air as he pounds on Tess' thigh with his fists. Tess twists her thighs with all her might and a snapping sound could be heard echoing throughout the room. The tall muscular agent's eyes rolls into the back of his head and his tongue hung out of his mouth on to her thigh.

  "She killed him! She killed him! Beat that bitch's ass!" A few of the F.B.I. agents shouted and surrounded her while she lay on the floor with her thighs still wrapped around the now dead agents neck.

  "Nooo! Stop! That's the reason she killed him in the first place. We need all of them alive and I don't need them trying to kill any more of us. Is that clear?" Marina shouted as an F.B.I. agent handcuffs Ms. Linda and then two of them pick Tess up.

  One holding her legs and the other held her shoulders carrying her to a swat van.

  "Bitch I knew I should have killed you when I had the chance." Iris said as two F.B.I. agents lead her down the stairs.

  She turns around and spits in Marina's face.

  "Ewww, you nasty hoe!" Marina screamed as she wipes her face with her hand.

  Vanessa looked back at Marina as she was pushed down the stairs. Just so you know you won't be collecting any evidence from this house. As soon as the silent alarm went off, it started a timer, so you have twenty minutes to get your people out of here." Vanessa said with a smirk on her face, then it turn into a frown as she watches them carry her dog Beast passed out from a tranquilizer, in a cage.

  "She's bluffing an F.B.I. agent said and grinned.

  "No she's not. You didn't read the report on them. None of their safe houses get left standing after it's been compromise. Get everybody the hell out of the house and far away from it!" Agent Marina shouted and grabs Ayoyna and Isis and scoops them up into her arms and quickly runs down the stairs passing a few agents and out the house, then gets into a waiting car. I said everybody get out of that house now!" She said into a walkie-talkie.

  "But agent Marina, we found there laptops and some more guns." An agent said then the house explodes, killing the few F.B.I. agents that were inside that didn't follow her orders.

  Life Is Over As We Know It

  Chapter 14

  "Ughhh!" Tess groaned in pain.

  Her head was pounding and throbbing at the same time. She didn't know how long she had been unconscious. The last thing she remembered was sitting in the back of the Swat van then smelling sleeping gas. She tried to touch her head then realizes her wrists are handcuffed together and she was lying on a dirty cot bed in a jail cell.

  "Where in the fuck am I?" She said out loud to herself then stood up but felt kind of woozy.

  She walks to the cell gates and could see a guard sitting at a desk across from her cell.

  "Where am i? Who are you?" Tess asks.

  The guard nervously looks at her and wonders how they could say such a beautiful woman could be labeled as one of the most deadly women in the world.

  "Ummm, I was told not to talk to you, that you're sneaky and that you would kill me without thinking." The guard said nervously then went back to reading the newspaper in front of him.

  "Hehehehe, I can't hurt you, I'm in a jail cell and your way over there. I just want to know were I am? That's all." Tess said laughing in a girly like manner and working her charm.

  "Ummm you're in a secret Federal Bureau holding cell. If I were to tell you where it was, it wouldn't be a secret any more, would it?" The guard said.

  "Okay that's all I needed to know. Oh yea are we in the United States?" Tess asked while holding the cell bars.

  "Yes we're in Washington D.C." The guard replied and realizes he had said too much.

  A steel door opens up from behind him. Marina enters the holding cell area escorted by five F.B.I. agents. Marina looks at the guard.

  "Your shift is up and I told you not to speak to the prisoner." She said while grilling him.

  Tess looks at Marina and rage travels through her body as she stares at the younger woman.

  "Where are the girls, my daughter and Isis? Where are my friends at? I swear if I ever get my hands on you I'll choke you until your eyes pop out of the damn socket!" Tess shouted making Marina flinch.

  "If you stop threatening me I can explain and answer all your questions. Your lawyer is here." Marina replied.

  "A lawyer, I didn't call a lawyer, I just woke up and don't even know how long I been unconscious." Tess replied with a confused look on her face.

  "I know you didn't, because if you did we will be able to track the accounts you keep your money in. The federal bureau is dying to know how much untaxed money the Teflon Divas really made. Rumors are that it's in the 100 million, but that's not the topic at hand. Like I said, if you come with me everything will be explained to you. I ask that you do not try to hurt any of my men or try to escape, there's no way out of here." Marina said and steps backwards as two guards open the cell gate.

  Tess steps out the jail cell and smirks as she watches their body language and could see the fear in her. She was lead down a hallway where steel doors unlocked one after another. Then lead to an elevator. Tess tried to figure out what floor she was on, what floor she was being kept on, but the elevator buttons had no numbers. They were blank. She was lead into a room that had a two-way mirror in it and a smooth looking older Caucasian man sitting at the only table in the room. He stood as Tess approach him.

  "Hello Ms. Riley. I'm Peyton Blake, I'm your lawyer. I'm here to make sure this deal goes through without you getting the shitty end of the stick, if you know what I mean." Mr. Blake said in a thick Louisiana accent.

  Tess studies his eyes then his clothes. He was well dressed in an Armani suit.

  "I've heard of you. You handle high profile cases for the rich. I didn't hire you. So what are you doing here? I'm pretty sure you can't get me out of the trouble I'm in." Tess replied.

  "A friend hired me and paid well for you to be represented right." Mr. Blake responded.

  "All of my friends are locked up with me. I have no other friends." Tess stated.

  "That's where you're wrong. You do have other friends than the ones you know, Ms. Riley, but I was ordered to withhold your friend's identity. Mr. Blake replied.

  "What deal are you talking about?" Tess asked with a puzzled look on her face, while staring at Marina.

  "In due time, you will know everything Tess. Please just sit down next to your lawyer." Marina said as the five armed F.B.I. agents in the room watch Tess closely.

  She took a seat next to her Lawyer and Marina sat across from her with two guards by her side and another two guarding the rooms steel doors.

  "Where is my daughter and Isis, they have no other family and my enemies will go after my daughter to hurt me." Tess said.

  "Your daughter and Iris' child is safe. There in protective custody with Ms. Linda". Marina replied.

  "Protective custody, by the F.B.I., that must be a fucking joke! A few F.B.I. agents can't protect my child and Isis from a hit squad. The Feds could barely stop my team of four and wouldn't have if it wasn't for me trusting you Marina, but how will the Feds stop an army of 30 men or more!" Tess shouted.

  "Well since you know that. It's even more reason for you to listen up." Marina said.

  "Okay, say what you got to say." Tess replied.

  "We can't link the Teflon Divas to all the murders we have on file, but we know you're calling cards. Your team is the only team to use Teflon bullets, but we can link your team to well over twenty murders that we can prove. I must say y'all clean up after yourselves really well and we can add 30 federal agents to that list, but we all know y'all body count is easy over two hundred." Marina stated.

  "So what's your damn point" Tess replied.

  "My point is we have enough evidence to give you and your whole team the fucking death penalty. I was signed to get close to you and bring you and your team in alive." Marina said. Why, just to fucking kill us yourself?" Tess said
in a sarcastic tone.

  "No actually we don't want to kill you, but will if you don't do as we say." Marina replied.

  "What in the hell do you mean, do as you say?" Tess asked.

  "The F.B.I. will give you and your team full immunity on all your crimes, Layla, Iris, Vanessa and even Ms. Linda. See the people your team killed over the years were mostly drug lords, human trafficker's and white collar criminal business men. The F.B.I. will give you a list of ten people. Some are teams of assassins to kill. Once you complete the first five you automatically have full immunity" Marina stated.

  "That's why I'm here to get it all signed and notarized. I'm not allowed to know the ten targets nor do I want to. I just want to get all the paper work signed," Mr. Blake said.

  "Hahaha! So the fucking F.B.I. wants me to work for them. I'm flattered, but why you can't send any of your own to pull off the job." Tess said why laughing.

  "Because, you and your team are the best and some of the jobs must look like an accident." Marina replied.

  "So if I say no we get the death penalty, but what's stopping us from running as soon as we're free. It took y'all almost six years to find us. The next time you won't." Tess said while staring dead in to Marina's eyes."

  "I see you weren't listening. After you complete the first five jobs your names are cleared, but if you don't do the jobs, you will never see your daughter and Isis, along with Ms. Linda again. You have to do the next five damn jobs on the list." Marina said.

  "What! You're using my daughter as a damn bargaining chip!" Tess shouted and jumps up from her seat. If you hurt me you the deal is off and you will never find your daughter." Marina shouted as she flinches and covers her face.

  "Ms. Rilley I advise you to sit down. You won't get a better deal than this. You can finally stop running from the F.B.I., the person that hired me wants that for you and your friends." Mr. Blake said.

  Tess took four deep breaths, then sat back down while grilling Marina with rage in her eyes and couldn't hide the hate on her face.

  "Here are the papers. Your lawyer already went over them. Read them if you like, it just states the terms of our agreement and that you're willing to work for the Federal Government to have all your charges dropped. Once you sign Mr. Blake will notarize it and it's a done deal. You will talk to Layla, Vanessa and Iris. They will sign and follow your lead." Marina stated.
