Status Updates From Twenty-Five (The Flesh Cart...

**Laura Palmer's theme song plays**

I'm so tired i want to know how this ends. Also where is douglas?? i got so anxious while reading the last book bc WHAT IS HAPPENING TO DOUGLAS????

OhMiGod! You go Nate!!!!

Let the games begin!

Yeah, teach Nikolai a lesson, Mat!!!

I'm lost. They're never coming back. ...

Hold on, Mat! A little bit longer! Just hold on! :(

Hell, yeah! Take those f**kers all down!!!

Nate, good luck saying no to *that* ;-)

We've seen torture, we've seen rape. But *this* moment was the most awkward in this whole series...

“Mat,” he said softly. “I’m here. You’re safe now. You’ve just got to get through this, and I’m going to be here the whole time. The whole time, okay?”

' Nikolai screamed again, rolled away, writhed like he’d been electrocuted. Nate wasn’t a violent man, wasn’t a cruel one, wasn’t even a vindictive one, not really, but he allowed himself a long, long moment to soak this in, to fucking enjoy it.'

JUSTICE!!!!!!!! FINALLY!!!!!! I so needed that moment of cold-blooded revenge...

Do it, Nate! Give the bastard a taste of his own poison!

Ohmygodohmygodohmygod!!!!

“We’ll see who’s gonna get reeducated, you slimy fuck. Spoiler alert: it ain’t me.”

WOW!!! Mat is so amazing, standing up to his torturer!!

“So what now? You gonna torture me? Make me suck your dick? Fuck myself with that electroshock butt plug again? I’ve seen all your little tricks, Nikolai. You don’t scare me.”

Well, I think *now* Douglas will be a nutcase for the rest of his life. No way can he go back from *that*!!

“The prodigal son returns,” Nikolai said. “How are you feeling, Mathias?”

(Well, *I* am absolutely freaking scared!!)

Nikolai is a criminal and a bastard, but I find him fascinating...

God, I'm so scared, I need to take a break...

' Nikolai had once seen beauty in Mathias’s wild nature, poetry in his fierceness. Not anymore. He would cleanse Mathias. Train him properly to service. Make him crave it. But first, he would have his revenge for Douglas’s pain. He would take his time. He would make the animal beg.'

Oh Jesus, this is clearly the most gutwrenching read. Why did you have to stay behind, you fool??

' And who knew? Maybe, when this was all over, he’d let himself have what Nate had once so shyly offered, before Mat had ruined it with Nikolai’s poison. Maybe he still could have that. Maybe it’d be one more thing he’d march in, guns blazing, and take back from these fuckers.'

' One slip and it’d all be for nothing. No more chances to make up for those lives he’d taken. No more chances to free everyone. No more chances to wrap his bare hands around Nikolai’s neck and make one . . . last . . . kill.'

' But hey, there was still electricity and waterboarding and good old-fashioned rape. Being female didn’t stop them; they improvised fine with fingers and fists and off-the-shelf cocks.'

Aaah!!!! I can't read that!! That's like fingernails scratching on a blackboard!!

This series has taught me, that I am a horrible person! Seriously. I don't want to read on. I want to sacrifice Dougie for Mat's safety, not the other way around!

The beginning of the end.
