Einstein kicked away from the desk, rolling back in the chair and leaving the computer open for view.
I walked forward until I was standing on the opposite side of his desk, behind the computer, forcing Mickey to face the screen and giving me a clear view of his expression.
“That feed on the left? That’s your shipping container. You know, the one you bought to hold the kidnapped women until the auctions.” I leaned forward to whisper, “I don’t think you’re getting a shipment of girls anytime soon, Mickey.”
Every one of the men Mickey hired to find and kidnap women was rotting in that container.
Johnny, Kieran, and I had been slowly picking them off over the last six months—made easy because Mickey only kept in contact with them over texts. And we had all their phones. The men tasked with taking Teagan had been the last hired and the last to go.
“That still on the right? It’s a few of the men leaving the police station after spilling about your little plan since you tried to blackmail them into going in on it with you. At least, that’s what they said . . . and I destroyed all copies of their contracts.”
“I will end you,” he seethed. “I will murder everyone you’ve ever loved while you’re forced to watch, and then I will tear your heart from your chest and shove it down your throat.”
I waited a few seconds then muttered, “That was dramatic. Did you get that?”
Einstein nodded as she lowered her phone. “Yep.”
“Christ, Mickey. Now I have you on video threatening my life. And I bet the computer hid my gun. Funny how that works.”
“Police in eight,” Maverick called out from where he stood behind Einstein.
I tilted my head and sucked in a breath. “Funny.”
“What do you want?” Mickey demanded, wrath burning in his eyes.
“A few things. For starters, don’t be a sick fuck. I’ve visited every person who signed a contract with you for this trafficking ring. Not one of them will go to bat for you. Every contract, bill, and statement has been wiped from your servers, and the physical copies are now in my possession. If I hear you’re trying to start this up again, I’ll take you down with a smile on my face.”
He ground his teeth, the muscles in his jaw flexing. “And?”
“Our feud is over. If you ever come after a Borello member or a Borello, I will kill you, and it won’t be quick. That includes anyone you hire or any Holloway.”
“What else?” he spat.
“Do you agree?”
“Yes, I agree, you piece of shit.”
“Then you’re ab
out to be arrested,” I said with a shrug. “You’re smart, and you have a lot of money that was supposed to go toward your psychotic plan. I’m not dumb enough to think you don’t still have people in your pocket that can get you out on bail and sweep all this under the rug as a bad case of envy and false accusations. But that doesn’t change what’s happening right now.”
“I underestimated you.”
With my gun still aimed at his chest, I stuck out my hand. “We have a deal?”
Mickey grit his teeth and forced himself to stand tall, straightening his suit as he did. With a hard nod, he muttered, “Deal.”
I released his hand and nodded toward his office door. Once my crew started that way, I turned to head toward the door, smirking at Kieran. He was barely concealing his rage.
“We’re even. He’s your problem now,” I whispered as I passed by him.
His breaths grew more pronounced, his chest heaving, but I didn’t care.
He’d fucked me over, and this was my last retaliation.
The plan for six years had always been to stop Mickey. Four years ago the plan had changed to end his life as well.
The only apology Kieran would ever get from me for taking Lily was the warning on Mickey, and for taking all the blame—or credit, depending on how you looked at it—in stopping the trafficking ring. Now Mickey’s suspicions of Kieran would end, and Kieran’s life wasn’t in danger.
