Following the trail of blood left by Hank, I snuck around the basement floors and underground labyrinth below Hank's mansion.

Moretti was at my side, limping and using my shoulder as support. Up the stairs we slowly crawled, as I had to adjust to his speed.

Eventually we made it to the next floor, which was where the cells were. Where all the young teens were...and Mary.

Hurriedly, I brought Moretti over to the cages. Mary jumped against the steel bars, "Psycho, you're here!" She exclaimed excitedly despite her frail and worn appearance.

I nodded, "I am." I took out the keys I stole off of Hank and unlocked her cell, along with the other ones filled with the hostages.

Except one had already been emptied. I was too late for them. Fuck.

I announced to the young crowd, "Listen, all of you can go now, you're free to do so. However, the people who paid and forced you to be down here are in this very same house. And justice is waiting to be served," I smiled excitedly.

The hostages looked amongst themselves then ventured behind me to go off and run to the upper floors.

"Now Mary, you need to take care of him for me, I have to go do something urgent." I sat Moretti down beside her.

She nodded, "I can do this."

I reached out and handed her my gun, "Take this too. You might need it."

The blood trail went all the way to the upper floor. The only room of importance I could imagine she'd go to was Hank's study.

I no longer had my gun, but I remember she was equipped with one. I had to keep my focus with me. Unless I wanted to get my ass shot by some traitorous skank.

I creeped slowly down the hallway, careful to not let a single creak echo from my steps.

The door was shut, but inside his study I heard muffled shuffling and yelling.

Her once cool and collected voice was yelling now, "Find the goddamn money, Hank!"

A large thud hit the wall, almost like a book being thrown. What the fuck is going on.

"B-Baby, please calm down. I'll find it for you, Doll." Hank's cowardly voice wavered underneath all his fear. I heard more shuffling.

"Unlock the safe, Hank." I heard a gun click.

I figured now that they were distracted, I should move in. Throwing myself into the door, it opened and I was inside the destructed study.

Natalia turned her gun to me. "You shouldn't have come up here, Little girl." Hank was crouched on the ground below her, turning the lock on a safe.

"You have something of mine." I gestured to Santiago. He was lying in the floor, knocked out. No doubt she hit him with the back of her gun.

Upon one final turn, the safe clicked open. Natalia shoved Hank aside to grab the contents inside. A box.

She picked it up and smiled. "You can have him back, I have no use for him anymore."

I continued stalking towards her, "You're also not leaving here with him," I looked down at Hank who was practically hiding behind her now.

"What are you going to do to stop me?"

I smirked.
