Mike stepped slowly closer to Regina who was tied to a chair. He untied the rope on the girl's body, then lowered his head to unbind the rope in both hands. With both of his arms, Mike held both of the girl's shoulders. He lifted it from the wooden chair he was sitting on.
Reggie can't move his legs anymore. His legs felt very limp when he found out the man in front of him was really Mike.
Mike held and propped up Reggie's body as if it were boneless.
"Why? Too shocked and lost your strength?" Mike tried to speak in a flat tone. He held back his desire to tightly hug the girl in his chest.
After raising Reggie's face, he wiped away the tear from the girl's cheek, then held the duct tape that covered Reggie's mouth.
"Hold, this is gonna hurt a little bit." Then with one jolt Mike took off the duct tape. Makes Reggie frown with pain.
Lucius looked at the scene from the end of the stairs. He saw Derek's expression and was convinced that Derek also knew their servant. The man's face looked surprised, happy and also worried at once. He could not see Mike's face from where he was standing.
"So you know him?" Lucius' voice echoed in the dim room.
Reggie looked up at Mike with a panicked face. His two hands that were holding onto Mike's chest involuntarily clenched. Making his fingers grip Mike's shirt in his grasp.
Mike nodded slowly. He approached and hugged Reggie in the arms. Mike looked down and whispered.
"Stttt .. You chose to face it. Now there's us. We'll protect you." Mike's words make Reggie glance and he catches Derek's figure from the corner of his eye's tail. Amy's husband was seen standing with his legs wide and the horses ready as if they were preparing if anyone would attack them in the dim prison.
"I'm asking you to handle them, Lance. They had to pay for every strand of this girl's hair they had cut. I don't want to see a single strand of hair still left on their heads." With his cold voice Mike voiced his desire. Those gray eyes looked at Lance even colder.
"They're my people. You have no authority over what punishment we're going to give them." Lucius looked at Mike's stiffened back as he spoke.
The man must have been upset to hear what I said just now, Lucius thought amusedly. But the gel was gone when Derek nailed his eyes and said with a cold face.
"Do exactly what Mike says, Lucius! Or we'll do it ourselves! This girl is one of the members of the Langton family!"
Mike felt Reggie's grip on his shirt tighter. The girl was like holding onto him and was afraid of falling. Mike took it deeper. Hiding it from Lucius' eyes.
The four girls who had been standing in front of the prison bars looked in horror at their master. Seeing the change in the face of his master Lucius and also Lance who gasped when he heard Derek's words.
The Langton family? In their mansion? And become a servant?
Lucius tightened his molars. And looked angrily at Derek.
"You mean ... He's a member of your clan that you infiltrated my mansion? What are you looking for, Derek!? You just admitted that you put someone in my private territory! My residence!"
The rising sound made Mike take a deep breath. Lucius will be angrier in a moment. They need a decent and comfortable place to talk. Not in a dimly lit, stuffy cell.
Lucius glanced at his four servants and found one of the girls still holding the scissors. He glared and nausea began to attack his stomach. The scissors were in front of his eyes and the girl was not even moved to hide the object.
Lance looked at the direction of his master's eyes and realized one of the girls was holding the thing that his master hated the most. He nodded and walked towards the girl. He took the scissors and hid them behind the suit he was wearing.
"You will receive punishment for this" said Lance.
Derek watched as Lucius' face turned pale and whitened. He followed the eyes of Lucius, who was looking at a pair of scissors in one of the girl's hands. The scissors they must have used to cut Reggie's hair earlier.
"You why?" Derek looked at Lucius who seemed to want to vomit.
"His law, Lance! Brackets them in those cells!" With that remark Lucius turned around without answering Derek's question. He stepped up the stairs and left the people down there.
Lance started to move to do his master's orders. The four girls started crying and begging. However they are pushed and locked in that cell by Lance who does not break their whimper.
Reggie turned his head slightly toward the cell when he heard the locked bars. The girl who had cut her hair looked at him with tears.
"Why don't you talk and tell me who you really are. We'll stop if you say it," he whimpered.
Mike stared intently at the girl and replaced Reggie answering his words.
"Even if he says it, you won't believe it. I'm telling you, this girl .. is your big miss." With those words Mike guided Reggie to leave the place. Derek followed her. Only Lance frowned and thought of Mike's words earlier.
Missy? Our big miss?
