Darting my gaze to him I smirk. “In the city, the dumb fuck has come to us without even knowing it.”
We’re parked down the street from the house Percy has rented in his assistants name, rookie fucking error. So far all we have counted is four men, his assistant and that’s it. We haven’t laid eyes on Percy himself yet. It seems he was traveling light. If he was hiding our stash for Gio, he should be guarding that not staying out here. I push that thought aside for a moment as I check in with Mase.
Me
Where are you with locating Christiano?
Mase
Been following him to most of the strip clubs around Canada but he has yet to make contact with his brother.
Me
You bugged his phone?
Mase
Paid a local escort to amuse him and snatch his phone while he was distracted.
Me
Keep me updated, I want to move on Gio as soon as we can.
Mase
On it boss.
“We need to move in,” Tay says, recapturing my attention as I pocket my phone. A knot in my gut tells me that something is off.
“How long have we been here?” I ask no one in particular.
“About three hours, boss,” Floyd answers. I keep my gaze on the house as I mull over his words. The moment Tristan managed to ping his location, he pulled our men back from the borders, they broke every speed limit to get back here for the takedown.
“Knox, what are you thinking?” Xander hedges, clearly picking up on my reluctance to move in. I watch as the assistant passes by the large bay window again but this time when she looks up, I see the apprehension in her features.
“Fuck,” I snap before darting my gaze to Xander in the front seat. “Get the fuck back to the house now, this was a decoy.” Xander’s eyes widen for a second before he grunts and slams his foot down on the gas. Floyd radios our men that are scattered out around the house and the street to fall back and head back to the house.
“Are you sure?” Taylan questions from his spot beside me.
“Percy isn’t at the house, he knew we were onto him. This was a decoy!” I grit out.
“How?” Floyd asks as he peers around his seat to look at me.
“We have a fucking rat in our midst.” His eyes darken, there is nothing more my men hate than a snitch.
“Any guesses who?” Xan asks as he jerks the wheel and has us skidding around a corner.
“There is only one fucking person who isn’t with us right now that knew our plan and would have something to gain from throwing us off Percy’s trail. I’m going to kill that fucking cunt.” Bloodlust courses through me as I clench my fists at my sides. He called all our men back from Gio’s borders opening them up for the fucker to slip through with ease.
“He’ll come for Lakeland to honor his deal with Gio,” Tay says, I nod.
“He plans to ship her off to the Dario family in return for safe passage out of the country,” Xan adds.
“Giovani Dario only wants Lakeland because of who she is—was to me. This isn’t about Percy and settling his debt with Gio, it is about Gio getting back at me for killing his brother. This is personal.” I knew from the moment her engagement was announced to him that this was all about revenge. I will fucking gut her and skin the bitch alive before I watch that cunt touch a single hair on her head. Xander’s phone rings and he fishes it out of his pocket, frowning at the screen a second before he answers it and places it on speaker.
“Yeah?” he answers.
“Your fucking house is over run with Dario soldiers!” River shouts into the phone. I hear gunshots in the background and her cursing before she screams out, “You touch my fucking sister and I’ll gut you where you stand!” The blood in my veins turns to ice when I hear Lakeland scream in the background before the line goes dead. We’re still thirty minutes from the house and there is no telling what those spineless women-hating bastards will do to her! I close my eyes and try to calm myself, my heart beating so fucking fast that I begin to feel dizzy.
