He needed Xavier to suffer the way he had. Killing him would be mercy. He needed to feel the pain of losing his lifeline, too.
"Fine." Sean looked up at Xavier who stood there like a statue. "I allow you."
His eyebrows rose in disbelief. "On what condition?"
Smart boy. "One last social work and you're good to go."
Xavier's jaw tightened. "I told you, I'm done!"
He cocked his eyebrow. "Do I look like I care? I'm doing you a favor by letting you go."
Xavier glared at him in response.
"Kill one person, Xavier," he said, "It's not much to ask."
"Why me? Why not Stewart, or Rais, or Ashley?" Xavier took a step forward.
Sean was as calm as an upcoming storm. "Big catch, Xavier, they can't pull it off."
"Pull it off?" He huffed. "What are they, three?"
"You know as good as I do that they aren't as able. It's you. Just one man, Xavier. Just one kill." Sean smirked; his eyes fixated on him.
"What if I refuse?" Xavier gulped. "And don't give me that head-off crap. You know as well as I do that you can't even touch a single hair of mine. So, what is it that you offer me?"
"Offer you?" Sean snickered. His minions around him joined. "Oh, no, threaten is the word."
"Threaten me?" Xavier looked amused despite all his anger. "Well, go on. Try it."
One word. Sean had to say one word only. "Giselle."
It took him a single moment. A moment in which his body shook, and he lunged himself at Sean. "You, filthy piece of shit!"
Before Sean could feel the impact of Xavier's blows, his men grabbed the animal, and he writhed in their arms.
"Will you kill the man I tell you?" asked Sean.
"No!"
"Will you not?"
Xavier spat on the ground. "Did I stammer?"
Sean smiled. "Rais?"
"Yup?"
Sean's eyes never left Xavier's as he said, "Bring her to me."
Xavier tried to pull his arms out of their grasp but was held securely. His roar echoed through the room.
Everybody saw Rais's triumphant grin as he turned around and jogged toward the exit as if he wanted this to happen right from the start.
Xavier's expressions change in a second. "Wait!" he yelled, his voice hoarse. "Just one person? Then you let me go?"
"Just one person," Sean repeated calmly, trying to contain his smile, "then I let you go."
"Fine," said Xavier. His fellow gang members left him cautiously, their hands raised in defense. He snatched his arms back and shot daggers at Rais who was smirking at him.
