I hold up my hands. “I’m not here to cause any problems. I have an offer for you.”
“Offer?” he scoffs. “You killed my best man and now want to offer me something? You should be kissing my shoes and begging me not to kill you.”
I lick my lips. “I have something I know you’ll want.”
He rubs his chin and gives me a fixed look. “And what could you have that I would possibly want? Last time someone came to me with an offer, my best soldier ended up dead.”
Before I can think too long, I hurry and rush the answer out. “Territory. We’re willing to give you the southside along with all of the business there, if you’re willing to help us.”
“I could have that territory if I wanted it badly enough. Now, leave before I paint my sidewalk with your brains.”
“You’d be a fool to try and fuck with me, Sebastian. You know better than anyone what us Hales are capable of. Unlike Teddy though, I have nothing to fucking lose. I’ll kill you and anyone else here I can find before you can even touch me.”
He laughs. “And have you forgotten what I’m capable of?”
I stuff my hands into my pockets. “I haven’t. That’s why I’m here.”
“Well, I don’t want what you’re offering, so go ahead and leave my city. Watch your back on the way out.” He winks.
As he goes to close the door, I place my foot in the crack, blocking its way. “What if I give you all of our guns too?”
He pulls the door back open slowly. “If you’re willing to do that, then maybe we can talk.”
I nod. “I’ll keep running the club, but all of the illegal shit will be yours. Emil has an escort business that makes him some good money too. I’ll put in a good word with both of our suppliers, spread the word, and make sure everyone knows you’re the one dealing shit.”
He tips his head. “All of that for what. What do you want from me?”
“I need Emil out of the picture. I want to move back into my place and not worry about him retaliating. The only stipulation I have is keeping the drugs out of town.”
“Ah, because you got his right-hand man locked up, huh?” I nod as he studies my face intently. “Fine. I’ll handle it, but I’m telling you now, if you make anything messier than it needs to be, I’ll have you killed.”
I grin. “Understood.”
He huffs and slams the door in my face. I take a minute to go over everything in my head. I never intended to give him everything, but Julius was right. The baby deserves better. Now I just have to explain it to Charlie.
