Paying A Social Call

                                    

                                          


The start to her day hadn't been terrible, though having been tied up for the few weeks had definitely been rough on her. At least Mary-beth had brought them some food, if it weren't for her things would no doubt be much worse. Her head itself felt as if it was going to explode still.
Ranza spotted Arthur sauntering over towards them, and she kept her head low; finding the ground very interesting at that moment. Kieran saw him too and sighed audibly.
"It seems you two got some speakin' to do... about that old gang of y'alls." he said as he rested his hands on his gun belt, and stood tauntingly over the two. Kieran let his head fall slightly in annoyance.
"I told you... we don't know nothing." he sighed dully, and the tall man in front of them sighed. "That's what I thought." he groaned in complaint.
"Woah hold your horses there... it seems the cats got our friends' here tongues." Dutch chuckled as he walked towards them, and Bill was walking alongside him. Ranza looked up at the men uninterestedly.
"I was thinking Mr. Williamson could have a word here. We is thinking Mr. Duffy here is gonna be the better one to try first." Dutch explained, and Bill squinted as he walked up to Kieran. "You ready to talk boy?" he asked roughly and Kieran looked in fear at him.
"I told you mister.." he started with a somber tone, "I told all of ya's... I- we don't know nothing ok? The-they ain't no friends of ours." He begged with a few stumbles on what to say. "We just been riding with them for awhile-"
"Horseshit." Bill cut him off with clenched teeth as he  taunted the much smaller man.
Ranza tried to stand up as this went down looking at the men. She wasn't trying to be rude but they were right. If they really had known much of useful information he'd be the much easier one to crack. Kieran is just Kieran, he doesn't deal with conflict well.
Bill continued on: "You see we heard that part. So how about you tell us the truth?" he suggested forcibly, and looked over to Dutch. "Dutch, what do you want me to do boss?" he asked the leader, who looked down at the man tied up in thought.
"Hurt him, so next time he opens his mouth it is to tell us what is going on."
Ranza's muscles tensed at Dutch's threat, and she could see Kieran fidget more. Dutch got closer to Kieran in an intimidating fashion, making the man more nervous. "Ah, who am I kidding? One of O'Driscolls boys couldn't open his mouth... but he'd tell a lie.." he glowered down at the man who was practically shaking in his boots. 
"Screw it. Let's just have some fun... geld him." Dutch ordered darkly, making a scissor motion with his fingers.
Now this excited Bill very much as he jumped up excitedly. "Oh Yeah!" he exclaimed and quickly ran off over to the fire not far away. Was Bill a homosexual? Or was he just into this shit? Either way this is not normal. Ranza huffed and shifted around the tree so she didn't have to see this go down. Frankly she didn't really want to watch her friends' balls get cut off. 
"What's he doing? Where's he going?" Kieran asked nervously trying to find the homely man. "Oh don't worry there are only balls boy." Dutch teased loudly and pulled Kierans pants down. "Just gonna cause you trouble." Dutch grinned with a chuckle.
Bill excitedly come over with the hot gelding tongs, and was practically running towards the man. "You know, in Imperial Rome eunuchs was among the happiest and loyal of courtiers." The older man informed, and Bill opened and closed the tongs quickly as he neared Kierans nether regions.
