This fucker watched one too many movies. My boys shifted behind me but I held up a hand to calm them. “I’m glad you said that.” I pulled my phone and started to make a call.
“Who’re you calling?”
“The man who’s gonna put a bullet in your daughter’s head.” His face lost all its color and he flew out of his chair.
“Al, go ahead…”
“No wait you sick bastard, I’ll give you anything you want just please don’t hurt her.” Too late for that shit, but whatever!
“That’s better. Al, take a chill.”
“What, what does that mean, take a chill?” Now his eyes were moving from my guys to me like a cornered rat.
“Eight in the A.M don’t forget. I have to go now, there’s a lot that can happen between now and then, and seeing as how she’s so sweet, I’m sure she can hold my interest…”
“Don’t you touch her...” I moved too fast for him to see me coming and grabbed him by the neck and lifted his pompous ass in the air when he rushed me. “Or you’ll do what exactly? You put my dad in an early grave. You may not have done it with your own two hands, but you drove him to it. You have to pay for that. Just be grateful I haven’t taken your balls you fuck.” I dropped him back to his feet and turned to leave.
“Listen, I see any of your goons or one fucking cop anywhere near my place. In fact if I even suspect that you’ve shared our little agreement with anyone else, the deal’s off.” I left the way I came in and got the fuck outta dodge. “Now, let’s take care of the other one.”
“Nico, you sure? Going after these guys will start a war…”
“Your point is? Aldridge used them to muscle dad out of what was rightfully his. Now his daughter’s gone and he hasn’t told anyone that I’ve got her. All I have to do is make it look like some kind of retaliation on his part.”
“But why would he go after them if they’re so tight?”
“It’s the fucking mob. They’re not tight with anybody but themselves.” This is why I do shit by myself. People are always complicating shit, but man isn’t that deep. We’re as simple as fuck.
That’s why I was able to find this other fuck at his usual afternoon haunt. I rolled down my window and took aim at the table where the head of the Russian mob in these parts sat with one of his lieutenants. There was no noise when the bullets flew, just the sound of bodies hitting concrete. “Go!” By the time his people came running we were turning the corner out of sight.
They had no idea of my existence so I wasn’t afraid of retaliation from that corner. But I had enough in my possession to make it look like Aldridge was the one behind the hit. He makes one wrong move and I’ll put that shit in motion and sit back and watch the sparks fly.
“Where to now boss?” Why the fuck was he breathing hard? He wasn’t the one taking the shots, I was and I hadn’t even broken a sweat. “Home.” I sat back and didn’t give a second thought to the asshole and his sidekick that I’d just offed. Fuck ‘em.

I wonder what she’s doing? Fuck, I’d left her hanging too long. I’m not used to this compassion bullshit in the middle of an Op so sue me. As soon as we got back to the house I left the boys and headed upstairs to my playroom. It had taken me less than a day to get the room ready once I knew what I needed it for. It was a bit rough, but it’ll do for now.
I pushed the door open and my eyes went straight to her. I squashed the little pang of guilt I felt at seeing her tiny form just hanging there. There was no one named Al on my payroll, and I wouldn’t have trusted anything with a dick alone with her that long. Not because I had any tender feelings towards her or any shit like that. But because there was no point in tempting a motherfucker that I was gonna have to end for being stupid.
Even with her ass beat to shit, her hair a sweaty mess and tear tracks on her face, she was something. I ignored the glare she sent my way and went to cut her down. She fell into my arms before remembering that I was the enemy and tried pulling away. Her legs weren’t strong enough to hold her so I had to help her out even though she snapped at me.
“Damn girl. You weren’t in here long enough to turn feral. Then again I’ve met your old man, he looks part ferret so I guess that shit runs in the family.” I so love fucking with her. She has the most inventive curses. If we’d met under different circumstances I would’ve gotten a kick out of her sassy ass mouth and that fire in her eyes that makes my dick twitch with need.
