“You’re not leaving again?”
“No. I just need to take care of somethin’.”
“Okay. I’ll be here.”
“That’s what I wanted to hear,” he says with a smile.
Chapter 11
Tarek
I’ll be here. I wanted to hear those words leave her lips. I wanted to hear she’d be waiting for me when I finished. It does something to my insides hearing that. Something good.
“What the hell are you smilin’ about?” Cage asks as I walk into the shed and see the asshole tied to the chair.
“Nothin’. Just happy,” I tell him.
“About what?”
“Life, brother.”
“You’re fuckin’ weird as all shit, Tarek.” Now I chuckle.
“I know, and you like it,” I remind him. He shakes his head as he brings his cigarette to his lips and inhales.
“Don’t know about that,” he argues, making me smile bigger.
“Can we please just get to it?” Ridge asks.
“Yeah, you two bitches done yet?” Twitch chimes in.
“You’re just jealous,” I tell them.
“About what?”
“That you ain’t the shit like me.” I walk toward the asshole in the chair and pull the blindfold off before ripping the duct tape off his mouth. He blinks his eyes a few times before they finally focus. Then he looks around the room at all of us before he laughs. It’s a sick laugh too.
“Somethin’ funny?” I ask.
“You bunch of stupid fucks!” He laughs harder. I turn to look at Cage over my shoulder, but he just shrugs.
“What makes us stupid when you’re tied to a chair?” I ask, cocking my head to the side.
“Do you know who I work for?” he asks.
“Do I care would be the better question.”
“He will kill you. He will kill you and your families,” he laughs again. I pull my fist back and slam it into his face having heard enough of him already. That quickly quieted him.
“No one is killin’ anyone. I mean, aside from you, but I think that’s obvious.”
“You kill me, and he will come for you.”
“I’ve heard that too many times in the past couple of months,” I tell him as I walk around him and grab the hammer off the table and a large nail.
“From who?”
“Pierson,” I say her name, letting it roll off my tongue as I gauge the man’s reaction. His eyes widen as he takes me in and then looks at my brothers.
