the mallet of justice part II

it has been a long time since Rigoberto "Rig" Mendez ended up in prison. now he is in front of Judge Henry Stevens, whom is going to get him out of jail. he will also help his roommate.

don't get fool by the judge. he isn't helping out of the deepest of his heart. he is just helping some poor souls to give him a good image. it is all for his career. there is also something else to add. Rig's dad may be poor, but he has powerful connections.

there are some rumors that may or may not be truth. however based on those rumors Rig's dad used to do 'cleaning' for powerful people. there are many who owned him their lives and careers. but once more, those are just rumors for the moment.

"well, I can make it possible for your friend to get out of here as soon as tomorrow. but your freedom for the crime that you committed... I can make sure that you don't last more than two years, does that sound like a deal."

"mmmm.... how generous can mister judge be. I take your deal. I will talk with my father. and I would make sure that he keeps his side of the deal."

Judge Stevens likes how that sounds. Rig isn't aware of the whole deal. but he has an idea of what his father had to offer. he did it for his freedom. the judge leaves with a huge smile thinking that he has already won the elections.

Rig goes back to his cell. in there he spends the rest of the day. he sees his cellmate. he tells him about the good news. Jordan smiles with a bright and innocent grin. he can soon see his siblings once more. he thanks Rig. he even hugs him.

Rig isn't helping for any particular reason. he helped him for two main reasons. the first one been that he felt petty for Jordan. the second been that Rig is egocentric. he loves when others see him like a saint, like a savior. that is poetry to his ego.

.....

at night Rig walks on the corridor, like a shadow from the night. he enters in some cells. he is looking for Carl Garcia. he finally finds his cell. he gets inside of Carl Garcia's cell. Rig walks slowly towards him holding a knife. Carl wakes up. he sees the knife.

"please don't do it man, please don't. I have a family man."

"sorry. I am not merciful. I don't know about sympathy for someone who is a complete stranger to me. I don't know you, I don't know your family. so why should I be moved by words that hold no meaning to me?"

"fucking sick bastard."

Rig runs towards Carl, who is able to stand up on time. Carl tries to fight back. he kicks Rig and tries to push him away. Carl desperate fights for his life. for a minor moment of stupidity Carl steps on something sharp. Carl falls on his knees.

that gives Rig the opportunity to stabbed him twice on his chest. Rig smiles with satisfaction and pleasure. he pushes Carl. his bleeding body falls on top of his bed. he can't do much. he doesn't have the strength to fight back. on his bed he is bleeding out looking at the ceiling.

"I really had a family, my kid's birthday was tomorrow."

those were the final words to come from Carl's lips. the pain was such that he couldn't say any other word. he was there bleeding out. he was thinking about his family. he probably regrets many things now.

Rig stabs him a third time killing him. Rig walks out of the cell. a figure in the darkness is looking at him. Rig shows his sinister smile.

"are you going to just look? or are you going to say something Mr. Director."

Roy Wilson walks out of the shadows. he looks at Rig's hands covered on blood. he looks at the sharp knife that he is holding. he then looks at those dark and deep eyes. the eyes of a hungry beast.

"is there a need to put words to this deal. I mean, I basically create this gang to destroy the Fierro family which keeps fucking up my peaceful property. and I put that piece of meat in charge to pretend to be the boss. but well you already know who is boss."

"not so hard to guess when he is muscles, but lacks brains. something that you have. I mean you have enough brains to fool everyone with that roll of mister perfect prison director of the year."

"if you know so much. I don't see why the need to talk. I mean, as a busy man I have so much to do. oh by the way. don't forget to go after the other head tomorrow. he needs to be dead tomorrow."

Rig tells him to not worry. the job will be done tomorrow. Mr Wilson likes Rig's confidence and his capacity to do the job. he is so far the best member of his gang. he is going to miss him once he leaves prison.

"well then sweet dreams savage boy."

Roy leaves walking on darkness, to avoid been seen by others. every step Roy Wilson takes is silent. his breathing almost sounds like the air. he is practically a ghost at night. a ghost that owns this small world.

Rig goes back to his cell to sleep. there is so much that he needs to do tomorrow. there is always so much to do on this prison. he never expected to be so busy. before sleeping he washes his hands. and he changes his clothes.

.....

the next day.

the enemy gang was on chaos. after finding the lifeless body of Carl. they didn't know what to do next. they are so confuse. now is when many enemies will try to attack. but the worst part of all. is that many suspected of Rig. he is the obvious killer.

Rig only has to survived one year and some months before he is free. when it was time to eat he was alone in his cell.

later he was visited by Terry Davis, the so called boss. he is one of the many who respect and admire Rig's balls. his bravery to do shit, no one is brave enough to do.

"we know that he told you who he is, so you may know by now that I am not really the boss of this losers, so tell me smart boy what are you going to do."

"I have orders from the boss, to end the life of the boss of the rival side. so I am going to paint the floor with his blood and then in eighteen months I will leave. we don't have to be hostile towards each other when he work for the same man."

"if those are your orders. then I won't be on your way. just remember to keep his identity a secret so we don't have any problem."

Rig smiles in a friendly way. Terry is absurdly strong. he is also a coherent person. he wants to trust on Rig. after a pause Terry leaves satisfy with Rig's answer.

Rig listens to some creepy laughter. he looks around of him. there is no one. he then looks at the right. he feels someone's breathing. he looks at his left to see Jack. the same guy he killed before. he knows he isn't real.

"do you really think that you would have a better end than me, I mean after all you are the one who killed me. and jet you don't seem to be interested in avoiding my same mistakes, nor end."

"well don't think so high of your own self. if I killed you was because I was smarter and I was stronger. I know how to take care of myself. so there is no need for you to feel pity for your executioner. after all I am a beast, or am I not?"

"you are the one who is a show off with the talk about brains, but are you really that smart? because if you were actually smart you would avoid the things that you are doing. I don't see you avoiding anything. actually you are doing the opposite, I see you like a fly going on the direction of the light in hope of getting burn."

"leave me alone. I have better things to do, than to listen to your complains."

Rig closes his eyes. when he opens them Jack is no longer in there. Rig sighs while he listens to some strange sound. it sounds like footsteps. he takes his knife from the floor. he walks outside of his cell.

without having the time to react he feels an awful pain in his head. Rig falls to the ground holding the knife. he looks up at some guys kicking him. he feels the warm blood getting out of his head.

Rig stabs one of the guys in the balls. he pushes one guy. he drags himself, those guys follow him. in the right time Kenneth arrives with the rest of the gang. Rig looks at his teammates beating the shit out of the guys whom attacked him.

Rig tries to stand up. someone from behind helps him. he looks at a known face. he feels a bit relieved. he keeps bleeding.

"guys I will take our midnight reaper with the Doc."

Rig is barely conscious. in the way he looks at the smile of Randy, whom is the guy helping him. Rig tries to talk, but he is too badly wounded to speak.

"don't worry man, my help comes for free when is about a pal. cuando te recuperes hablaremos, for the moment you can sleep."

Rig closes his eyes tired.

.....

Rig wakes up in a bed with a bandage around his head. he looks at the doctor. he tells him that some members of a gang attacked him. Rig tries to say something, then he looks at a dark corner in the infirmary. in which Randy is standing looking at him. like if he were reading Rig's soul.

"thanks comrade, I appreciate the fact that you help me in a moment of crisis. so thanks again."

"oh no problemo that is what a fellow comrade has to do, I was just following the code of honor."

Randy walks towards Rig. he walks with a simple smile. those who don't know him may be deceive by that simple act. Randy leaves a hammer in the bed.

it takes time for Rig to understand what that means. and after understanding. he is still a bit confuse about the hammer. Randy is so hard to understand.

"be careful with the feral animals whom lurk around their prey in search of vengeance."

then Randy whispers about some tales. he loves to speak on riddles at times. he looks at the doctor who seems to be tired of him. Randy leaves with a creepy smile. the doctor follows him to make sure he is actually gone.

Rig is just trying to breathe when he hears a sound. he pretends to be asleep. Austin Brown enters in the infirmary with rage. a deep desire to avenge his friend's murder.

"he was my only friend in here, we share so many memories. and now he is gone, but don't worry bitch. I will make you scream like a pig while I open you, fucker."

Austin raises his left hand holding a knife. Rig opens his eyes. in a second with the hammer he hits Austin in the head, he hits him with the sharp side. Austin's head is bleeding a lot. he looks at the eyes of Rig in fear. Austin falls on the floor.

Rig tries to stand up from his bed. but he falls on the floor. with the hammer he hits Austin in the face many times breaking his nose and jaw. he stops once he is sure that Austin is finally dead.

Rig drags himself back to the bed. he can't stand up. so he decides to sleep on the floor. he falls asleep holding the hammer. if anyone else comes inside, he will be ready.

.....

the next day a nurse enter in the infirmary to find the body of Austin with the murder weapon in his hand. Rig covered in blood was in his bed sleeping.

Roy wanted to prove that Rig was the one whom murdered Austin. but the murder weapon only had the fingerprints of the dead man. Rig was so wounded that night to be able to kill someone like Austin.

excluding the clothes covered in blood. there was no actual evidence that he did it. so Roy forced everyone to say that it was suicide.

.....

two months later.

the "Fierro" gang was completely gone. some had to be killed. others were send to another prisons. and others just gave up.

Rig was seen as a scary motherfucker, someone whom was half crazy and half bold. also he become the second favorite man of the boss. there was no one who could touch Rig at this point.

Rig could feel the need to feed in the weak, just for the fun of doing it. there was so much darkness in Rig. at some point even Kenneth regretted the moment in which he decided to include him in the gang. he kind of felt terrified of Rig's cruelty.

but even after that chaotic phase. Kenneth kept talking and playing with the guy. mostly because he felt guilt. responsible for the way his own son destroy the peace in him. he blamed his son for the monster that Rig is now. he hoped for Rig to change one day.

Rig kept seen Randy everywhere. it was only at times in which they were alone. when he asked others about Randy. no one else knew anything more than his name. not even the day in which he become part of the gang.

for some reason Randy seemed to be interested in him. not only that, but he also knew a lot about Rig. his knowledge about Rig's life was no joke. he has to be someone important with connections. or maybe he is just the devil.

it was like if Randy could see the future and past of someone. he could see inside of their souls with just looking at their eyes. yes, a creepy man indeed. even Rig felt intimidated y Randy's strange behavior. by his authority.

Rig kept being his regular own self. with time he learned how to be imposing with just a glare or a step. time kept passing. it refused to ever stop. the clock kept moving. then soon Rig was celebrating twelve months in jail.

Rig found himself waiting for the next twelve months, to finally be free. his cellmate was already a free man by now. once every month he had a visit from the Judge. Kenneth at times gives him books to read, he also teaches him about many different topics.

the Judge is about to become senator of the state of Creepwood. Henry Stevens is a man of a few tricks. but once in a life time he knows how to surprise people. for example now with his election for the senate, and his soon to be victory.

Henry had become friends with Rig in the last six months. in which he had visited him. the next visit of the senator Henry Stevens in going to be in a few seconds. a guard takes Rig to see the senator.

when they are face to face. the senator thanks him for his help. Rig asks him about his former cellmate. the senator tells him that he is fine at the moment. Rig thanks him. Rig is going back to his cell. he then saw Detective Williams in there.

"do you know that detective?"

"who? detective Williams? well he was send to this town to end the mafia. I heard he is one of the best. why?"

"never mind. I feel like that detective and I. we will see each other more in the future."

"you want me to eliminate him? or do you want me to investigate him?"

"it will be good to know more about him. thanks once more for your help."

Rig goes back to his cell.

Detective Williams looks at Rig. he is convinced that Rig is a danger to society. he feels like Rig should spend the rest of his days on prison. sadly this world is so corrupt. since a while it was made clear that someone will released him from prison.

Detective Williams smiles. he is going to wait for Rig. he is thinking about making sure that the next time Rig won't be able to be release. he won't allow corruption to let the dirt walk free on the streets.

the Detective is cleaning the streets. he won't allow anyone to pollute the town he chose to defend of crime. he is a man who takes his job too serious. he is a man of justice and law. he is the face of the rules.
