Chapter Thirty-Five
Nick
The air isthick with tension and the thirst for blood.
We’re at the old factory and we badass this invite in a way I’m sure Joey will never imagine.
What I think he thought would happen is me running to him like the little bitch he thought I was, maybe with Pa at my side like I’m some school boy.
That’s not what’s happening now.
Not. At. Fucking. All.
What is happening is this.
In the thick darkness is a host of the meanest guys in Chicago.
They’re all around me.
They’re the distraction that just came on the scene two minutes ago. Not enough time for whoever’s inside the factory to prep or do whatever the fuck it is they would normally do when war comes to their doorstep.
War… that’s what this is.
Joey’s threat was the straw that broke Pa’s back and sound the war cry for blood. Blood for fucking blood. That threat of Joey’s was a very big mistake.
I’m on the roof with my brothers.
We’re the rescue team, while everyone else is the army come to play dirty.
Around us are snipers hidden on the surrounding rooftops. The closest one to us has eyes on Mia. She’s in the attic.
He’ll give the all clear to Vincent and we’ll follow his orders to move.
I’m not far from where she is but I wish I could see her. I wish I was in charge of this operation. This is best though. It’s all I can do.
Down below on the ground Pa stands with Claudius Moritz and all the men. Over a hundred strong. It really is like an army. All the alliances we have called in to battle.
Blood will flow the streets this night.
I glance at my watch. On the herald of eight o’clock, Pa takes a step and the men follow as one, looking like a nightmare come to life.
That’s it. It’s time.
“Let’s move,” Vincent shouts.
Me, Salvatore and Gabe follow him running toward the door that will take us inside. The men below might look like demons, but we look like we came straight out of the darkest corners of hell. Devils.
I pity the fools who think they can mess with us.
I pity anyone who thinks he can mess with me.
These motherfuckers have my girl, they won’t get away with what they’ve done. I’m primed to kill anything and anyone who moves in front of me fucking dead.
When we crash through the door, I hear war break out around us and bullets piercing the night sky.
We each have a task based on what we’ve been told. Pa had the place checked out first so we could plan properly. No point barging in guns blazing and they spite us by killing Mia.
The guards are below us on the first floor. That gives us the clearing.
