Den of VipersThey run this town and everyone in it. Their deals are as sordid as their business, and their reputation is enough to bring a grown man to his knees, forcing him to beg for mercy. They are not people you mess with, yet my dad did. The old man ran up a debt with them and then sold me to cover his losses. Yes, sold me. They own me now. Im theirs in every sense of the word. But Ive never been meek and compliant. These men, they look at me with longing.
