RETRIBUTION
This is a very disturbing work of fiction involving descriptions of triggering images. Parental Discretion is advised.
It’s a cold foggy mid-February evening. The locals say it’s the darkest and most frigid night of the year. Kade and Bubba are driving their uncle’s Buick. They have an unruly passenger in the trunk. He is kicking the back seat and you can just hear his muffled cries.
The cousins kidnapped the Lake Lure City Councilman far from his palatial estate on the lake. He’s been slumming with his 16-year-old concubine at the Trailer Park off Whitesides Road.
The politician was the conductor who orchestrated the near-death beating Kade had sustained nearly two months ago.
“Bubba, I kinda feel bad for the dirty bastard.”
“Why, the prick didn’t show you any sympathy when he had his goons damage your million-dollar knees. Man, we were all ready to go to France and ball out. I ain’t never had no French pussy. That asshole is gonna pay for what they did to you and our dream.”
“I feel you, my nigga. These dudes are so easy to find. They are creatures of habit.” Kade said.
