Just the thought of her has me turning and grabbing the closest man. I roar into his face, screaming into it. He screams back, trying to get away, but it’s no use. I need blood. I need pain.
Now.
Everything’s a blur, but when I come to, I’m heaving and my body is shaking with adrenaline. I lift my hands and notice they are covered in blood, as are my arms. I can feel it dripping down my face, and at my feet is the mauled corpse of the man. He’s a bloody mess.
I glare at the others, and they scream, one even pisses himself, the smell filling the air as I prowl closer. “D, enough,” Ryder snarls.
I scowl at him, but he narrows his eyes. Garrett steps closer to me, watching in case he needs to restrain me. It wouldn’t be the first time he tried. Until my little bird came, I did my own thing. Only doing as ordered when it suited me.
But then she wrapped me around her little finger. One smile, one punch, and I was hers. Her animal. Her killer.
“Diesel!” he roars, and I slink away, not far though.
“Anyone?” Someone shifts, and Ryder sighs, aiming again, and the man screams.
“Wait, wait! I know something!” he begs.
Ryder pauses, stepping closer and pressing the gun to his head while I laugh. “Tell us, better tell us.” I grin.
“They have taken one of your safe houses, that’s where they are keeping her, that’s all I know, I swear. I overheard it!” he sobs.
Garrett snarls and punches a cement support, which must hurt. “Fuck, we have loads of them, which fucking one?”
“We need to find Daphne and ask her.”
Garrett turns and, without a word, shoots all the men as he converges on me. “How is she alive?” He towers above me, but I’ve never feared him.
“I don’t know.” I shrug, I really don’t. “I played with her for a bit before I burned her in a building. She was tied down.”
“Fuck,” he snaps. “She’s helping them, we need to get her.”
“Roxy first, she’s all that matters,” Ryder reminds us, and we all look at him. “We need to know which safe house, call everyone in. Find it.”
Kenzo doesn’t speak, just turns away and stomps to the car waiting for us. I look at the bodies. “We should send a message,” I murmur.
Ryder nods. “Do it. I want this city turning on them. Let them know anyone who’s helping them is now our enemy and will die like the rats they are. Hunt the bastards down, make it rain.”
I grin then. “Are you letting me loose?”
He stares at me as he holsters his gun. “Go fucking wild. Make them come to our door, begging for forgiveness, while I find the safe house. Garrett, go with him, you need to release some tension. I will warn the police to stay out of our way,” he orders, before looking at the car Kenzo went into. “I’ll find the house with Kenzo, we will have it before dawn. Be ready to move.”
I glance at Garrett then, and even he looks worried. “D—” He starts.
“You heard him.” I laugh. “Let’s play.”
“Oh fuck,” he mumbles. “This should be good.”
For you, Little Bird, I’m coming for you.
Chapter Forty-Six
GARRETT
Iwatch D play with the man. My own hands are caked in blood, and the pain of my knuckles breaking has long since passed. Ryder gave us permission, and we didn’t need to be told twice.
I let it all out—the aggression, the hatred. All my emotions pour into the city like a disease, leaving bodies behind. They should have never challenged us…and taking Roxy? Dumb fucking move.
We might have let them off easy before. Now? Now they will die with our names on their lips.
