"You only sent four men?"
Four men are an insult, no match for someone like him.
"Highly trained, experienced, dangerous men armed to their teeth- "
"Four," she interrupts. "Four men are nothing to my husband. You'll be getting pieces of them back in the mail."
He backhands her, a sickening crack echoing through the room. She spits blood, cackling.
"Only four."
--
Two days later, he storms through the door, hands up and loose. He dodges the rifle butt aimed at his head and in less than ten seconds has taken possession of and disarmed it.
He doesn't miss when he slams the gun into the other man's head. The other man crumples as he approaches her. He flips his knife out of his pocket easily and slits the bonds on her arms and legs. "His men led me to you."
Her head lolls on her shoulders. A wide, bloody grin splits her face and her voice cracks when she laughs and says, "He only sent four."
He laughs with her.
