“Too late, you’re all dead men walking. But you can join the rest who have gone before you. Your contract is terminated.” Marc laughs. All I see next is the gun. He raises it and just fires the bullet.
Dad was about to say something when the bullet lodges in his head and I scream.
I scream and I scream and I scream.
Everything else happens in slow motion.
Dad falls to the ground and the man holding me starts walking.
Marc laughs again and fires another shot at Dad.
“Traitorous fool.” I hear him say but I’m screaming too much to truly hear.
I scream harder as we go through the door and I see Gabe lying on the ground in a pool of blood.
Chapter Forty-Two
Salvatore
This is a shit show.
True battle where you have to fight to get to the guy at the top. The guy at the top who is not Stephanou. He’s nowhere, not here. We’ve been fighting long enough to know he’s not fucking here.
There were over a hundred men, felt more like a million though.
All of them coming at us and all at once while Diego just stands at the top, shooting, barely lifting an arm.
He’s playing with us.
That’s what it fucking feels like. Like we’re toys to him and we’re the entertainment for the fucking day.
I’m covering Vincent as he shoots and Nick covers Pa. Nick’s been hit. I don’t know where and I’m going crazy not knowing if he’s fighting with the last ounce of life he has left or if he’s been hit somewhere that’s not fatal.
We need to change things up and end this.
I see Claudius and Dante over on the other side of the warehouse. The way they work is similar to us, like a unit of one body. Claudius the head and his men the limbs and they know what to do. It’s smooth and efficient but counts for shit when you’re outnumbered. What we need is smart wit to outdo them. This shooting one by one is going to piss on us.
What I need is a diversion. A clear path so I can jump onto the platform that fucker is on and kill his ass.
I look around and check out our path.
My mind is working overtime, thinking of ways to take out a whole bunch of these guys at once.
I turn to Vincent as he takes out two guys who were coming for us from the corner.
“Vincent we need to eliminate these fuckers. There’s too many of them. Far too many.”
“There are too many.” He winces.
We’re going to have to go in for them old school and move forward shooting anyone in our path.
“Vincent we’re going to be here all day if we keep going like this. We have to move in, move up, fight.” I look to him and he nods.
I tap the communicator to speak to Claudius.
“Claudius we have to up the game on these fuckers. This is taking too long. They’re just playing shit with us,” I tell him.
He actually laughs. “Was wondering when you were going to call me in for a real fight. I’ll take the left and you get the right, capo.”
