Summary
He can call Hopper. A hand presses against his ribs, blinding pain creates stars in the night cast by the blindfold.
"You with me?"
"Yes, sir."
It slips out. Mind falling back on what to say to his father.
"Your pops owes us a lot of money, you understand? We provide services for cash. We had a deal and the fucker didn't deliver his end. So now he pays or loses the questionable heir he has in you."
There's movement behind him. Hands in his hair. Hands on his right arm.
"You're going to dial him up. Prove your still alive, tell him that we want our promised hundred and fifty thousand bucks and in thirty minutes we'll tell him where to drop it off."
The blindfold falls. If Steve wasn't so far gone on Eddie, the Alpha in front of him would have caused his heart to skip a beat. Square jaw with a strong nose. Soft full lips. And sure, there's an angry scar that trails from the corner of his left eyebrow down to the corner of his face but it no more makes him ugly than the torn, angry scar on Eddie does. It's the grey eyes though, that scare Steve. Cold. Lifeless. There is no humanity in those eyes.
"Do you understand?"
"Yes, sir."
