Claudia saw the girl through the open doorway, a sight that made her blood run cold.  Her Etoiles, the poor, sweet girl, what had those monsters done to her?  She had thought the men she served back in the brothel were savage, but this...it took all she had not to yank the pistol from her garter and put a bullet between that smug bastard's eyes.
