Carlo would not die quickly or easily.
Chapter 12
Carlo’s scream endedin a gurgle as Benny shoved the knife in his hand into Carlo’s neck. For the last two hours, Carlo had been tortured, bled, and finally faced justice for his crimes.
I couldn’t help feeling satisfaction as I watched the blood spill down the front of his shirt. He twitched as his body struggled to breathe. Pain and horror lingered in his dark eyes before his heart finally stopped beating.
Behind us, I heard someone coming, and Benny turned around as Maddog joined us.
“Fuck, Manic. I can see why you’ve got the road name now.”
Truly. It looked as if a madman had tortured a soul until death. The fact that it was true only made it more macabre.
“He deserved worse,” Benny spat.
“Then it’s justice.”
“But not for Benny’s father,” I announced.
Maddog dipped his chin. “I know.”
“He didn’t suffer enough for touching my fiancé.”
I stood, brushing off my pants. “It’s done. At least for now.”
Maddog rubbed the back of his neck. “I need to get back to Lark. There’s shit I need to get sorted.”
Benny ticked his chin toward Maddog. “I’ll join you once I’ve finished, pres.”
“I know you will.”
Maddog spun on his heel and left, boots crunching through the leaves as he moved beyond the graves as stealthy as a ghost. Or shadow.
Benny closed his knife and wiped it on his jeans before placing it back inside the pocket of his cut. “I’m leaving his body. I want it found to remind others what happens when they mess with my family.”
I didn’t have to ask to know if that meant me and his father.
