“Why does she matter to you?” Haney asked, nodding at Steph.
“Old friend.”
“Girlfriend?”
“No. My best friend’s stepsister. Like a sister to me.”
Haney curled his lip. “And she’s pregnant. How much is her life worth?”
“Everything,” Reese said. “Name your price.”
“Ten million?”
“I’ll get it.”
Haney laughed. “It’s not about money anymore. I’ve got that. This is about the power. That’s what I’m getting now.”
“You’ve got it,” Reese said. He stepped forward. “I told you, we’ll help you. You can man therunners.”
“Fuck you,” Haney growled. He pointed the gun at Reese. “I want this town. I want the cops. I want the MC.”
“Keep that gun on me,” Reese said. “Take it out on me. I fucked your deal, Haney.” Reese made a motion with his hands and Steph slowly inched forward. She wasn’t going to be able to crawl because her hands and feet were tied. But every inch counted. “I cornered Starla. Me. I took the drugs. I fucked it all up. I sold the drugs too. I undercut your supplier, Haney.”
“No,” Haney said. His eyes went wide. His eyes were bloodshot. He was tired. He was high. He was scared. “You do that and you’re already dead…”
“Then shoot me,” Reese said. He stepped forward. Close enough that he could touch Steph. But he side-stepped and wanted her to get to safety.
“Don’t you move!” Haney bellowed.
He pointed the gun beyond Reese.
Reese turned his head and saw Levi moving forward, gun drawn.
“Prez, don’t,” Reese said.
“That’s enough of this shit,” Haney said. “Everyone is going down. Her first.”
Haney moved the gun and Reese made his move. He threw himself forward as the gun went off, hitting Haney with his shoulder, driving him back.
“Reese!” Josie’s voice cried out.
Reese drove Haney back against the wall with a hard thud. Haney swung the gun and smashed Reese in the jaw. For a second, Reese saw dancing stars and stumbled to his right. He jumped at Haney again, hitting his arm as the gun went off yet again. Reese looked quickly and saw that Steph hadn’t moved. Josie was on the ground with her. Levi was doing everything he could to cut the rope off Steph’s hands and feet all the while dodging bullets.
“You’re done,” Haney said.
“No, man, you are,” Reese said. He slammed Haney’s arm to the wall and the gun hit the floor. He put a hand to Haney’s throat. “It’s over.”
“You have no idea where this is going,” Haney said.
A second later, the ceiling to the storage unit opened and down fell Zac, holding a gun in each hand.
“You’re fucking late,” Reese said.
“Shit,” Zac said. “You had me on the wrong one, brother.”
“It doesn’t matter now,” Reese said.
Zac charged forward and put a gun to Haney’s forehead.
