"I will give you one last..." Jasper was still speaking when Tala interrupted him with her desperate plea. He turned off the automatic chain saw and brought a finger to his lips.
"Shh...Don't say anything. Just listen."
Tala nodded, trembling vigorously on the floor as Jasper squatted beside her.
"Think very carefully before you utter your next word or it may be your last."
Tala nodded again, her eyes shifting to the bloodied floor where her father's beheaded corpse once lay.
"I need names, location and the address of the people who took the boy." Jasper continued slowly, his expression eerily calm. "Anything other than that would mean this machine going through your stomach. Understood?"
Tala nodded despite having no clue what to say. Tears flowed freely down her reddened face as Jasper turned on the machine.
"Now, give me what I want."
