We all walked into a small red and white room with a small table in the middle, which held a bucket with a napkin over top and something else. "What's all that?" Rome asked. I shrugged my shoulders, scared of what might happen next. 

Verone responded, "We're gonna have a little fun," and popped the cork off the champagne. He poured Monica a glass, before walking to me and handing me one as well. 

"Thanks," i smiled at him, but it fell when i heard voices. I turned to look at the doorway and saw the two people we were watching before. Verone laughed as the man looked at him with a terrified and confused look on his face.

"Hey, Carter," the guy glared at Verone, which is the exact representation of how i felt when i met Verone.

"Meet Detective Whitworth. One of Miami's finest," Verone face was smug and held a grin that i despise. The blonde chick started walking away, "Thank you, sweetheart," My eyes widen as i noticed that the girl worked with Carter. "You enjoying yourself, Detective?"

"Yeah, I was," Whitworth replied, "I mean you know me," I leaned against Rome, watching this all play out.

"yeah, i do know you," Carter's voice became darker, deeper, "You've been on my payroll a long time," Roman's arm went around my shoulders, pulling me closer to him. He smelt really good.

"Verone, that ain't right," The detective went to argue.

"Shut up. I've got one last job for you, Detective. You hear me?" Brian was just staring at the situation, mainly because we couldn't do anything about it.

"Look, we've been all through this. And i said I can't do it," I shook my head at this man. I knew Carter was bad, but it was bad to deny him.

"That's the wrong answer. The table," Carter ordered the two men. My eyes widened as they tackled the detective onto the table. I jumped, gripping onto Rome, who stepped backwards with me.

"I'm a detective, Verone. You do anything to me, the whole force is gonna be on your ass in a minute," Whitworth's face was bright red.

"Shut your mouth, you fat piece of shit," Verone told him, opening his shirt. I was beyond confused now, and sort of disgusted because there is no reason to take off his shirt.

"Stop right now," Whitworth said, as Verone took the cloth off of the bucket, and slowly pulled a rat out of it. "What the hell? What the hell is that?" Whitworth started freaking out. I mean, i would too.

"Sit down," Verone looked at the three of us, and i let go of Rome to move to the seat. Brian sat, then Rome, but there wasn't anymore room, so Rome just pulled me down onto his lap.

"You're going to regret this," Whitworth said. I held a hand over my mouth, to keep from gasping or saying anything.

"Once he bucket gets hot enough, Detective, the rat is gonna want out. And the only direction it can go, is south," Verone explained, before placing the rat on his stomach and placing a bucket on top. I gasped and put my head in Roman's neck. "Hold that," Verone pointed at the bucket. 

"Get it off me. I'll forget it ever happened," The detective was being restrained and the rat was on his stomach. Honestly, i would've been screaming as soon as that thing was out of the bucket.

"Shut up," Carter said. I looked up from Rome's neck and saw a blow torch. "Did you know that your average rat can chew through a steel drainpipe? You see, you have nothing to worry about when he's screaming, Detective. It's when we goes quiet that he goes to work," Rome rubbed my back, trying to calm me down. 

"Stop it! Stop it! Stop it! You can't be this stupid! Stop it now!" Whitworth was protesting, his face almost as red as the table he was sitting on.

"You're in change of the units that are watching my properties. What i want is, I want a 15 minute window, where everybody, and i mean everybody disappears. You hear me?" Verone spoke. This is torture to watch. 

"I can't do it," The detective cried.

"You can't? Okay. Monica, come here," I watched her get out of her seat and walk to Verone. How can she live with this man. Whitworth was screaming, so Verone said, "Shut him up. Shut him up," Monica obeyed and placed her hands on his mouth.

"It's biting me!" Whitworth's voice was muffled. The two men bickered, before Whitworth agreed. "I'll do it." 

"Do what? Say it!" Carter shouted at him.

"I'll do it. I'll give you your window," I could hear the pain in his voice. "Just get it off of me," I truly felt bad for this man. He was being tortured, to go against his job. Carter turned off the blow torch. 

"You betray me,  and my rat here is gonna visit your wife, Lynn, your son, Clay, and your daughter, Lexi," Carter threatened the man. My eyebrows furrowed. The man was married but was about to go have sex with a random chick? Damn, i feel bad for his wife. None of this would've happened if he would've been loyal to his wife. "Do you hear me? Do you understand me? You hear me?" Carter shouted the last question, causing me to jump again. "I'll burn your fucking eyes out! I'll burn them out," Verone was officially, mentally insane in my book. "Now, you can go," He tapped his chest. 

The bucket was lifted from his stomach, and so was the rat. His stomach was red and bloody from being scratched and bitten. The detective was picked up and dragged out of them room by the two guys whose names i forget.

"Did you all enjoy the show?" Carter asked the three of us. I didn't look him in the eyes, and just sipped my drink. "Fifteen minutes, and then every cop in Florida's gonna be on you. Be at Versailles Cafe at 6 am, day after tomorrow, ready to drive. Except you sweet cheeks. You can stay with Monica tomorrow night. Tonight as well? Are do you have other plans?" Verone eyed Roman and I.

"I'll be there tomorrow night," I smiled at him, before readjusting in Rome's lap, which caused him to grabbed my hips. I looked at him innocently and he just kissed my neck once.

"Don't play games with me," Verone looked between Brian and Rome. "Help yourself to some champagne. I'll see you tomorrow night, and you two boys the day after. Let's go, Monica," I watched him grab her arm, pulling her away. 

"Okay, is it just me, or is this dude fucking crazy?" I said standing up and looked the two boys.

"That was a damn rat," Rome said, shocked. They both stood up  from the couch.

"Look let's just get out of here, and go back to Tej's." B said, and i nodded.

"Thank god, I'm starving. And Tej'll actually feed me," I exaggerated, but Brian just pushed me, laughing.

"All you ever do is eat," Brian commented.

"Actually i do more than that, especially with my mouth," I winked at Rome, who gulped. Brian just looked at me disgusted.

"I didn't need to know that," I laughed and kissed them both on the cheek.
