I gaped at him. “Flush them out? What do you think this is? The Wild fucking West?”
The man shrugged. “We got one of them though. Shot him right in the chest.”
Like I fucking cared about that. I snapped my fingers in front of the man’s face. “Focus. The women. What happened to them?”
He shrugged. “Guess they kicked the door down? I dunno. They were already running by the time we got back. Lost ’em in the woods.”
I blinked at the sheer stupidity. Normally that sort of behavior was reserved for women. I hadn’t expected it from a team of men. “And you’re only just telling me this now?”
“We searched for them…”
“Where? For how long?”
He shrugged. “I dunno. Me and Turbo got lost a couple times, and then we got hungry…”
Killing Chaos might have been the stupidest thing I’d ever done. At least he was smart enough to keep his men in line. Which clearly wasn’t an easy task when there wasn’t a brain cell shared between them. Killing him had been impulsive. A mistake I wouldn’t make again.
I couldn’t even look at this guy. “Go stand over there in the corner.”
The man cocked his head. “What?”
I leaned in closer. “I said, go stand in the corner like the stupid child you are. You want to act like an imbecile? I’ll treat you like one.”
The man didn’t move.
I snapped my teeth at him.
He scuttled to the corner and stood there, exactly like I’d told him.
A rush of power coursed through me. I breathed in the feeling, letting it sink deep inside me and fill the wounds across my chest. They’d healed now, but they were a constant reminder of what my ex and her friends had done to me. Every time I saw her name carved in my chest, every time I remembered hiding beneath my bed, pissing myself in fear, a hole opened up inside me. It was deep and dark and disgusting. A feeling that had started with my mother. I could never fully get it to leave, but power helped.
Power reminded me I wasn’t that pathetic, sniveling mess who had cowered in fear. Power reminded me who I really was.
Watching this fool stand with his nose pressed to the wall made my dick hard.
I stared at his back, rubbing my cock through my pants while I pulled out my phone. This wasn’t a call I wanted to make. It wasn’t going to go well.
Luca picked up on the third ring. “Why are you calling me? It’s not the fifteenth of the month.”
I grabbed my dick, squeezing it hard. I needed to focus on the pain so my voice didn’t tremble. “We have a problem.”
The sounds of fists hitting a punching bag came from Luca’s end of the phone. The man chuckled. “I ain’t got no problems, Cal. Not a one. If you got a problem, it’s not mine.”
I fucking hated being called Cal.
But I didn’t dare tell Luca Guerra that.
“The women I had for you. They’re gone.”
Luca didn’t say anything.
“Did you hear me?” I eventually asked.
“I heard you, but like I said, your problems aren’t my problems. You have a contract for five women. I don’t care which five. Just deliver them on time.”
“I told you; I don’t know where they are. It’s not that easy to just find five new ones.”
“Get your hands up, O’Malley!” Guerra shouted at someone in the background.
