“Put her on.”
“Lucas?” Her voice comes through the phone, and in seconds I’m moving for his throat. He quickly swings the gun from where it was pointing at Sergio to aim at my stomach.
“Remove your hands from my throat, Lucas.”
“No!” I growl.
“You don’t have the advantage here. Can you feel that?” he asks and digs the gun into my flesh.
“I can, but can you feel this?” I say, the barrel of my own gun now pressed against his leg. “If I hit the correct artery, you will bleed out, and nothing will stop it. Yet, if you shoot me in my stomach, my chances of surviving are high. You know this, Keir. So, the question is, if you shoot, do you think you have the speed to stop me?”
Someone moves behind me.
Sergio’s standing, a gun in his hand pointed over my shoulder.
Keir gives me a death glare. “Do it,” Keir requests. At first, I think he’s talking to me, but then I hear Marcus.
“Yes, boss.”
“No, no, no.” Her voice rings through the phone, followed by a shot before everything goes silent.
My head whips to the phone.
“It’s done,” and the phone goes dead.
“Remember, Lucas, you asked for this.” His words hardly register in my head. Everything just goes black. I shoot before I can even think. Keir takes a minute to realize I shot him before he falls backward, his hand going to his leg. Then I turn to Joey and shoot him as well. He falls like the piece of shit he is. Piper manages to get close to me, but the minute she does, I smile at her and tilt my head. “You should have never come,” I say as I pull the trigger of the gun. It hits her directly in the stomach, making her drop.
I look back over my shoulder at Sergio, who’s managed to kill another of Keir’s men.
I hear a grunt, then turn back to Keir. He’s on the floor, one hand gripping his gun, the other clutching his leg. I remove the gun from his hand and drop down to a squat so I’m eye-level with him. “You picked the wrong person to fuck with.” He goes to speak, but I cut him off. “Now I’m going to pay Sailor a visit. What do you think she will say when she sees me? Yes, that’s right, she will welcome me inside with open arms.” I smile.
Keir’s face goes red, his lips thinning as the pain in his leg dissipates. He reaches for me, but then I use the end of his gun and knock him the fuck out with it.
Standing, I look at his phone on the table and pick it up.
First, I need to find Marcus, and the only sure way to do that is to visit Sailor.
“Where to?” Sergio asks.
“Get the car.”
Joey whines from the floor. Piper is still with her eyes closed. I’m sure she’s not dead, but if she doesn’t get help soon, she will be, and I don’t care.
“Don’t,” Joey squeaks out, barely.
I step over him and smile. “You all thought I was a puppet, but now you’ve pissed me off. You should know better than to play with a viper, Joey,” I say, walking out and shutting the door behind me.
I get into the car, and we head straight to Keir and Sailor’s house. Sergio passes me a pack of wet cloths, and I wipe my face and hands clean on the drive over. When we arrive, I slide the gun into my back pocket and shoot Marcus a message to meet me here from Keir’s phone before I knock on the door.
“Are we doing this?” Sergio asks as Sailor opens the door with a smile. When she sees me, she looks behind me at Sergio.
“No Chanel this time? I want to catch up with her again. Stop hiding her from me.” She smiles, then something in her changes, and somehow, she picks up that I’m not here for a social visit. “Keir isn’t here,” she spits out. Her smile is gone, and her hand clutches the door. “I can call him and tell him you’re here.” She lifts her phone and presses call, but Keir’s phone starts ringing in my pocket, so I slide it out and answer.
“Hello.” I smile.
She tries to shut the door, but I manage to catch it with my foot and push it back open.
“Lucas, what are you doing?” She backs up, her hands up in surrender.
