“Shit.” I had intended to kill him, but now it doesn’t seem like I can. “Okay, look, we have to get going. Drop your cut, go down to the basement, and wait in one of the rooms.” He drops his cut on the ground, starts to walk past me, but I grab his arm and out of earshot of Sadie say. “If you make me fucking regret this. It won’t be the shoulder next time.” Slowly he nods his head. “Good.” I hold my hand up as he moves down the stairs, counting steps until I hear the door open at the bottom making sure he made it all the way to the bottom.
“Ro,” comes through my comms.
“What?”
“There’s 16 motherfuckers out here?”I fucking know.“You sure you wanna do this.”
“Look guys, we have 2 fucking options right now. We go in a finish this, or we continue to hide. And I’m don’t know about you guys, but I’m fucking tired of hiding.” Agreeable murmurs start through the comms, and I sigh. “Try to keep as many as you can alive. Especially of this charter. And if anyone finds Rabbi, he’s mine.”
“Thank you.” Sadie looks up at me, and smiles.
“Don’t thank me yet. I simple just gave him a chance. Doesn’t mean that he won’t disappoint.”
“I know. But you took a chance on him because of me.”
The gagging noise comes from Enzo behind us, and a couple of laughs come through the comms. “Ro’s getting soft in his old age.” Tally says.
“Oh yeah, motherfucker, you wanna test that later?” The frequency goes quiet, and I chuckle. “That’s what I fucking thought.” I wish I knew exactly where the men were at, but there’s nowhere to tell through the metal door.
“There’s two entry points in.” I remind them and informing Sadie. “The other is a glass door that overlooks the start line.” She nods her head. “Okay let’s all go.” I whisper into the comms before pushing the door open and walking through. Lars is the first one that looks up at me wide-eyed. I smirk at him as he raises his gun, but before he can his head falls backwards as the slight smoke raises from the hole.
“1.” I whisper out. Taking my brother’s lead, we start to count the men they kill.
“1, from LA.” We can all hear him withering in the comms. Pushing into the second office and Venom and I both pull the trigger I catch one from LA in the hand as Venom puts one of the parent charters peons down for good.
I know Rabbi is around here somewhere, though.
I’m going to be the one to fucking end him. I look over at Sadie and Enzo quickly and nod, not needing to add anything else for him to know. Enzo reaches over and pulls on Sadie’s arm telling her that they’re going.
“No.” She whispers, looking back at me.
“Go.” I whisper to her, she sighs, stopping, and I continue to move forward.
“I’ll take the other office, you got this one?” Venom says to me, and I nod my head before moving through the door gun still drawn. I’m waiting, I fucking know he’s up here, somewhere. The room is only lit by the window as I continue to move forward.
A very distinct feeling of the butt of a gun connects with my head. And I fall down, woozy, but not out yet. The kick to the face causes me to laugh out loud, but still not out motherfucker.
?
SADIE
The thump from the direction that Ro just walked towards, grabs my attention and even Enzo looks at me concerned before I rush back across the room. “Sadie, don’t.” He snaps at me, but I don’t give a shit. Spinning my gun around my body, I lift it up, and push the door open. I see Ro laugh out as he’s pushing himself up off of the floor, he damn near levitates off the ground, and I watch him as he spits blood that I’m sure is pooling in his mouth into the man’s face before he spins around in what I can assume is a roundhouse kick to the face. Causing the man to stumble backwards and drop the gun in his hand. Ro kicks it away. I can see the Marauders cut and I’m assuming based on the looks between him and Ro and the fact that I’ve seen the majority of the other LA Marauders that this is Rabbi, I know it’s him without even Ro saying his name. There’s no doubt in my mind, I’m not sure exactly how I know, something about him seems familiar though.
“Come on, old man, let me kill you with my bare hands.” Ro drops his gun to the ground.
“You motherfucker.” Rabbi shouts at him before he swings on him. Ro surprises me as he bounces from side to side and laughs as he ducks Rabbi’s swing but knees him in the gut instead causing him to double over. “You slimy piece of shit.” Rabbi grumbles out.
Neither man even notices me as I stand and watch the two exchanging blows, somehow in my fucked-up distorted-brain this is a turn on. Watching this side of Ro. Watching him take on a man who is twice his size, the size may not be muscle, but he still outweighs him. “What’s wrong, Rabbi? Ya didn’t miss me?”
“Fuck you, Ronin.” Ro laughs out again as he lands a punch to Rabbi’s face knocking him backwards again. “I thought you were in prison?” He snaps at him making Ro laugh again.
“Overcrowding and good behavior. But I could say the same for you.”
“Oh, I’m still in prison.” I’m not sure what he means by that, but Ro cuts his eyes at him and lands another fist to his head. Rabbi stumbles back a few more feet as Ro laughs out again. Rabbi hits the ground.
“Get up, old man.” Ro shouts at him and I’m stunned watching him this demented.Hmm, Damned & Demented.
I see it before Ro does. Rabbi lifts his arm up with the gun that Ro kicked away, finally close enough to it that he can grab it again. “Stay down, Ro.” He laughs out.
