What Matty said!Asher was the baby of our family and I knew that he would follow their lead no matter what.
I relented and typed back.I’m fine. Don’t fucking come to Alaska! I’m not there anyway.
There he is,Cody chimed in.
Mission?Carmine asked.
We were always careful about what we discussed over unsecure channels. We used the word mission for everything from getting eggs to getting bread. With Matteo working as an FBI agent he was always around to pick up the chatter from any law enforcement agencies that might have been tracking our family’s ongoings and business.
Something like that,I typed and again my eyes found Nora and the stranger getting even closer.
The man began to pull her to the dance floor, and I was about to lose them in the crowd.
He’s getting too close to her,the voice whispered.
Perhaps,it whispered again.We kill him and splay his body in the town square for all to see.
Bourbon went down my throat again and I noticed my glass was now empty. It was causing a warming sensation, I felt a little fuzzy, but the only way to quiet down the darkness inside of me was to get Nora back to this table before it came out.
Let me out, it whispered again.
The voice was starting to spiral out of control. It had never acted this way around anyone before and I didn’t know what I was going to do if it came out in the middle of a bar. The corners of my vision were starting to glow with a red tinge…
Standing, I managed to spot her. The man was grinding into her from behind and she looked like she was having a huge amount of fun.
Gonna shut this party the fuck down,I thought.
Pushing my cellphone into my back pocket, I stepped down from the booth I’d been occupying, about to move to the dance floor but a woman stepped into my path. She was wearing leather, and silver chains. One side of her head was sporting a fade and the other side was long.
“I’ve been watching you,” she smiled baring her teeth that looked sharp. Her English was good but soaked with an Italian accent.
No,the dark voice seethed, the red on my vision was starting to close in.
“Oh,” I replied, my eyes scanning over her head.
“Yes, all night,” her hand brushed against my chest.
I smirked; she had no clue what she was trying to pick up in a bar. I was saving her life and she had no idea.
“Go on back and keep watching,” I told her and slapped her hand away.
Squeezing around her, I made it to the floor just as Nora was dropping it low on the “Italian stallion”. He really thought he was going to get some pussy, but I had another thing coming for him. A waiter walked by nearly bumping into me.
With a stealth very few had, I grabbed a liquor bottle from his serving tray and he never even noticed. The music had been building to a tempo, it was American rap and no one was the wiser about what was about to occur.
Do it! The voice demanded loudly, the vibrations in my skull palpitating.
My mouth had gone kind of dry.
I gave in and let the red take completely over my vision, the smell of acrid alcohol filling my lungs as I took a deep breath and swung. The bottle connected with man’s head. Strobe lights were going crazy as the music flared even harder. Nora drunkenly turned around and watched as her dance partner dropped to the floor. She stared atusand I realized she was drunk off her ass. By the time I’d reached her at the bar before we’d came here, she’d already slammed down three amaretto sours. Screams had erupted in the club at the sight of the man’s body, and with little effort, I dropped the bottle and kicked it.
“LOOK WHAT YOU MADE ME DO!”My Corsican Ripper had entered the chat, and I felt my regular self taking a back seat.
“Whoa!” She wobbled just a little bit.
We steadied her and then, screams continued all about us. In the strobe lights, Nora took us in. Her eyes were wide and glassy. We were starting to draw a crowd.
“IT’S TIME TO GO,”The Corsican roared again, and she nodded.
