Solid. Cold.

Unyielding. A stark contrast to this wretched place. A stark contrast to the people who ran it. I took a measured step back, testing the swing of my wrist, envisioning the sickening crunch it would make upon impact with bone. I could almost picture Newman's skull collapsing under the force of my blow, like wet plaster yielding to a hammer. The thick latex gloves clung tightly to my fingers, a second skin that promised anonymity. No fingerprints. No second thoughts. My heart wasn't racing; it was calm, almost too calm. And that steadiness? It was unnerving. Five minutes slipped by...

Or was it longer? Time seemed to stretch, elongating each second into what felt like an eternity, until finally, I caught the first hint of movement outside my cell. Footsteps echoed in the hallway, growing closer. They were back... They had Newman... An unsettling coil of anticipation twisted in my gut as I picked up on the muffled protests filtering through the heavy door. This was really happening. I pressed my tongue against a back molar, feeling the tension in my jaw as I turned my head toward the cell door, waiting. Waiting for him. Waiting for my prey. **11:42 Fri, Dec 12** *"Mr.

Santorelli? We have him..."* The voice of the suit rang out, cutting through the silence, and I nodded even though he couldn't see me. "Bring him," I replied, my voice thick with a mixture of anticipation and resolve. I stood there, perfectly still. Breathing slow. Breathing controlled. And then... More scuffling of feet echoed, followed by a low grunt. A string of curses spilled forth, unmistakable and raw. "Get your fucking hands off me! Let go of me!

This is a fucking violation of my rights!" His voice sliced through the air like nails scraping against metal, and I couldn't help but stifle a laugh at the irony. A violation of his rights? What about Sarah's rights when he had nearly left her for dead just days ago? My grip on the crowbar tightened, the thought of ending him igniting a deep-seated vengeance within me. A sick grin crept across my face, unbidden, as I heard them drag him closer, closer to my waiting hands. I could sense the desperation in his tone. The panic.

The dawning realization that he was utterly powerless in this moment... How the mighty do fall! "Why the fuck am I back down here? I thought I was being sent back to the other prison?!" Newman snarled, but beneath the bravado, I detected a tremor of fear. Real fear-the kind that settles in when a man realizes his life is no longer his to control. Good. Let him feel it. Let him feel what Sarah had felt that night. I stepped further into the center of the cell, the crowbar hanging loosely at my side, my shoulders squared with purpose. Calm. Collected.

The guard, Anthony, was the first to appear in my line of sight, pausing just outside the doorway, casting a brief glance in my direction. The suit cleared his throat, as if this were some formal ceremony rather than a prelude to murder. "On your time, Mr. Santorelli. Come get us when it's done," he stated, his tone too casual for the gravity of the moment. "Wait... what the fuck is this?!" Newman's voice boomed, laced with disbelief at the mention of my name.

"You lot can't get away with any of this!" The urgency in his complaint only intensified as I watched Anthony struggle to pull him into view. And then, there he was-thrown unceremoniously at my feet. He stumbled forward, his wrists cuffed in front of him, a split lip already testament to the rough handling he had received on the way here. Anthony, no doubt. His frantic eyes darted around the cell, searching for an escape, before finally landing on me, wide and unsettled. Recognition flickered across his face like a bolt of lightning. "You've gotta be fucking kidding me... so what?

You've got to kill me for them? Working for those damn bastards now, Santo?!" His voice was filled with rage, but it was fear that fueled it. "I just decided you deserved it..." I shrugged, amusement dancing in my eyes as I observed his mounting panic. "D-Deserved?! What? Because I taught my bitch a lesson? Don't lie and pretend you ain't ever had to lift your hand to your woman too, Santo!" He retorted, scrambling for justification. Truth be told, his words hit a nerve, but I wouldn't let him see that. Sure, I'd hurt my Bella, but never like this-never with such malice.

"She didn't deserve that!" I snapped, taking a bold step toward him as he instinctively recoiled. I could see Anthony lingering near the doorway, ensuring that Newman wouldn't escape if he dared to try... and try he did... Before- I lifted the crowbar high and brought it crashing down against the side of his head, watching as he crumpled to his knees. I witnessed his scream, his cuffed hands instinctively rising to clutch the wound in desperation. His breath hitched, and I could almost taste his fear from where I stood, as he sobbed like a child. "She damn well deserved it!

The bitch deserved it! You don't even know! Come on, man!" he began to plead, desperation creeping into his voice. Even after that initial strike, he still refused to show remorse for his actions... but he would. The crowbar moved almost of its own accord, connecting with his shoulder this time, forcing him to drop forward, inching closer to the cell door. The crack resonated through the concrete like a church bell tolling, and I struck again, this time across his face. He fell to his stomach, gasping, choking on the agony that consumed him. "B-Bastard..." he spat, his eyes clouded with pain.

I stepped closer, watching him crawl, desperate to escape, just past the threshold of the cell door... "This," I growled, raising the crowbar higher, "is what happens when you don't play nice with the females in my prison, Newman..." And then, I brought the metal down again and again upon his forehead. Harder. Until the bone cracked. Blood sprayed back onto me, staining my skin. He collapsed forward, his body spasming once, twice... Until his breathing stilled. Until the floor was slick with his blood. Until nothing in this world would ever allow that monster to prey upon the weak again.

The crowbar dripped with crimson. My heartbeat? Still steady, as I drew air into my lungs and lifted my head... **11:42 Fri, Dec 12** My eyes locked onto Anthony. He had given me the space I needed to finish the job, and as our gazes met, he took that as his cue to approach. I watched him bend, his fingers finding Newman's neck, then his wrist, checking for a pulse. A final nod followed, and he stood with a sigh, pulling a thick, concealed plastic bag from his pocket, holding it open for me. "The crowbar and your gloves," he instructed, nodding toward the bag.

I understood immediately and dropped them inside. I wiped a spatter of wet blood from my cheek with the back of my wrist, my chest rising and falling steadily. "Shower and change quickly. You have five minutes. Bring the stained clothes back to me, and we'll get you back upstairs," Anthony directed, his tone urgent as he glanced at his wristwatch. But it was finally done. My terms were locked. Margot was safe. Tonight, I had killed a monster. And in my heart, I knew it was the right thing to do...

Conclusion As I stood there, the reality of what I had just done began to settle over me like a heavy fog. The crowbar lay silent, its purpose fulfilled, and with it, the weight of my vengeance seemed to lift, leaving behind a strange mix of satisfaction and emptiness. I had crossed a line, irrevocably altering the landscape of my soul, but in that moment, I felt a flicker of hope. Margot was safe now; the threat that had loomed over her was extinguished.

The echoes of Newman's final gasps faded, replaced by the steady rhythm of my breathing, a reminder that I was still alive, still capable of protecting those I loved. I had become the keeper of my own moral compass, navigating the murky waters of justice in a world that had long since abandoned it. Yet, as I turned to leave the cell, the blood on my hands whispered a haunting truth: violence breeds violence, and while I had silenced one monster, the scars of my actions would linger. The calm that had enveloped me began to fray at the edges, revealing the turmoil beneath.

The stakes are higher than ever, and the repercussions of his choices could reverberate far beyond the bloodied cell. Moreover, the looming question of how Margot will react to Coban's actions adds another layer of anticipation. Will she embrace him as a protector or recoil from the darkness that now surrounds him? As Coban attempts to reconcile his past with this new version of himself, the chapter promises to delve deeper into the moral complexities of vengeance and redemption.
