“I’m not, but I’m willing to give it a try.” Noise erupted in the direction of the suite’s door. Something thudded against the walls, and Max wondered how far Farrell and the others had gotten in taking out Jason’s security. “Sounds like we’re going to have company soon,and I don’t think they’re going to be on yourside.”
If Jason’s men were coming out ahead, there would be more noise, more gunfire not muffled by the military-grade silencers Farrell had outfitted on their weapons before they’d left Max’shouse.
Jason’s eyes flickered to the foyer as something slammed against the door, murmured conversation drifting through the wood and plaster of the suite, making it clear the fighting outside wasover.
Jason was moving chess pieces in his mind. Max could see it in the way he’d gone still, the blank expression on his face that said he’d moved into a place of purecalculation.
Checkmate,motherfucker.
Jason lowered his gun and let it drop to the floor, then lifted his arms at his sides. “Go ahead and do it, if you think you can…brother.”
Max thought he might see Jason as he’d been. That he might recall the scrawny kid with wide eyes and big plans, a mind like a greedy sponge, desperate to prove he was goodenough.
But in the end all he saw was the man — flawed, dangerous, evenevil.
He pointed the gun at Jason’s head andfired.
