Julius backs away and looks at me. I give him an approving nod, then move to send a message of my own to Simon. I don’t make it a full two steps before Charlie halts me and walks to him herself.
She squats down beside him, letting her dress ride up her thighs, showing him the slightest glimpse of pretty pink flesh between her legs.
“You shouldn’t have let this pussy get to your head, Simon. Pathetic, really, that someone who claims to be so big and bad can be so easily irritated by a woman who isn’t scared.”
He looks at her with his crooked and bloody nose, eyes bulging and purple. “Irritated?” He cackles. “Just wait until you’re on the ground with your so-called king. You won’t be so fearless then.”
She raises and sends the point of her heel into his groin. I wince, imagining the pain.
She comes back to my side and stands with her nose in the air, not letting his words affect her.
“You.” I point to the man on the couch. Lucas releases him. “Go ahead and send whoever sent you a message from me.” I pull my 19-11 from my side and pull the hammer back. “One, I don’t fuck with the Morenos.” I aim the gun at Simon. “Two, the cartel isn’t getting my territory.” I pull the trigger, sending a loud bang into the room, echoing off the walls. “And three, if they want me, they can come fucking get me!” I scream the last part.
Lucas and Julius laugh as the man with no name runs from the room and down the stairs. I look out of the glass and see him run for the door that leads outside. Luckily, all of the partygoers have no clue what just conspired. Between the soundproof walls and glass and the loud music, they’re clueless.
I chuckle and turn my attention back to Charlie. Her mouth gapes open as she looks at Simon’s head blow all over the floor. Her hand comes to her mouth and covers it before her eyes lock to me again.
“You killed him,” she murmurs.
“I did.” I place my gun back in its holster and button my suit jacket.
She stares at me with a vacant face. No emotion, no expression, no nothing.
“I don’t play games, Monkshood. I did what had to be done.”
