The John guy raises his head, looking straight at me with fear, replying, “Conrad, I don’t know what you’ve gotten us into, but you’ve pissed off the wrong family. The Kourakos are the head of the Greek Mafia. They are the deadliest motherfuckers in the city, shit perhaps the entire state.”
Hollis eyes the man before turning his attention back to me. “If your family is so deadly, why haven’t I ever heard anything about them. Greek Mafia...,” he laughs.
John slaps his hand on the table. “Conrad, this is no fucking laughing matter. We could all die for the shityoudid. You see they just killed your men without hesitation. These men are not to be taken lightly.”
Hollis continues to laugh, saying, “Who would dare shoot the son of a District Attorney? I will not...”
His words are cut off as he cries out, falling over clutching his left arm. Blood begins to seep through his dress shirt.
Watching Hollis thrash about, Alistair comes forward. “I would dare.” He smirks.
With our attention on Hollis, the man on the left goes for his gun, but I’m quicker than him as his body jerks back from the bullet I just put in his heart.
“You son of a bitch. I’m going to kill you,” Hollis whimpers in agony.
Holstering my gun, I pull out my large bowie knife and stalk towards Hollis. He grunts, struggling to scoot back.
“If you kill me my father will destroy your family,” he grits through his teeth. “If you leave now, I’ll keep this little incident between us. No one has to know.”
Hollis tries to knock my hand away as I reach down and forcefully grab his arm, making sure my thumb digs into the bullet hole. He shrieks out in pain as I push him hard into the wall.
Placing the tip of my knife under his throat, I tell him, “I know this will stay between us because your about to meet your creator. Before I do that, I want you to know why you’re going to die on this night. The bookstore owner you called a bitch earlier is my wife.”
Hollis’ eyes grow big. When he opens his mouth to speak, he stops when he feels the blade slightly cut into his skin.
Bringing my face closer to his, I continue, “After she turned down your offer, you should’ve left it at that but no, you sent your fucking goons to intimidate her and when that didn’t work you set her store on fire. So, you see Hollis, coming after my woman is like coming after me, and since you say you’ve never heard of my family, I’ll show you what we do to those who fuck with us.”
In one swift thrust, I stab Hollis through his chin, pushing the entire blade into his skull. He moans the entire time as his eyes flutter before permanently closing. I yank the knife out, then ram it into his heart making sure he will never come after Deanna again.
Removing the knife, I wipe it across Hollis’ shirt to remove the blood before letting his body collapse against the wall.
“Mr. Kourakos, I swear I didn’t know your wife was the one Conrad was talking about. Had I known I would’ve told him it wasn’t a good idea. Please, don’t kill me,” John pleads with his hands raised up.
Sheathing my knife, I tell him, “I know you didn’t John, which is why I’m not going to kill you.”
Letting out a breath of relief, John lowers his hands, saying, “Thank you, Mr. Kourakos.”
“You’re welcome, John,” I return as I start to walk away. When I get to the door, I bark, “Alistair”
With reality sinking in John begins to beg for his life. His pleas fall on deaf ears as Basil follows me out of the room. I did say I wasn’t going to kill him, but I didn’t say I wouldn’t let my crazy cousin finish him off.
I go back to the office and unplug the laptop as Basil grabs the briefcase. When we come out of the room, Alistair’s coming down the hall with a deranged look on his face. His knife is in his right hand, dripping with blood.
Basil pulls out the bandana Alistair gave him earlier, saying, “You should always wipe the blood from your knife before you put it away.”
Alistair roars with laughter as he takes the bandana.
“Now, let’s get the fuck out of here,” I command. Tapping the earpiece, I say to the others, “The target has been terminated. We’re leaving the building, so light this motherfucker up.”
