“This better be good,” she says.
“It’ll be awesome,” I promise her.
And it will be.
The day of reckoning has come.
After blindfolding Blue, the guys and I move to take our places in the van. I keep Blue next to me the entire time as they shuffle places and check to make sure we have everything we need.
Gabriel’s driving and Tanner takes the passenger seat next to him.
Once we’re in our places, Shane goes over the plans to ensure our coordination is perfect.
“Okay, our target should be leaving his place at roughly six. We’ll follow him for twenty minutes, which is the amount of time it should take for his car battery to die.”
“You sure you didn’t fuck this up?” Tanner asks.
Shane rolls his eyes. “I never fuck shit up.”
Gabe laughs. “I wouldn’t go that far. Brinley escaped you a few times from what I remember.”
“Just shut up and drive. If we don’t get moving, we’ll miss the target.”
The van takes off down Tanner’s driveway, and Blue leans back against my chest. There’s barely any room to move with all of us packed in here.
“What the hell is going on?” she asks. “And what target are they talking about?”
I wrap my arms around her.
“That’s the surprise. Just trust me when I put the hood on.”
Thankfully, the sun is already starting to set, and by the time we grab Granger and get him to the woods, it’ll be completely dark outside without much light due to the overcast sky blocking the moon and stars.
Anticipation is like a fine wine on my tongue, my heart beating a chaotic rhythm thinking about the gauntlet we’re about to run.
I wanted to take care of Granger myself, but rather than beating the shit out of him, which would land me in jail, I convinced the guys that Granger deserved a taste of what the Inferno is known for.
It takes an hour to drive out to Granger’s place.
The jackass lives far outside the city in an upper-class, suburban neighborhood. Thankfully, it’s not gated, and Gabriel is able to park the van out of sight, while we wait for his Black BMW to drive past.
We’ve been watching him for several days to learn the exact route he takes to work. It’s a rural road for several miles, making our lives easier when grabbing him.
Unfortunately for him, he won’t arrive at Myth tonight. And if his battery dies when it should, we’ll be on a stretch of road where nobody will hear the fight I know it’ll be to grab him and stuff him in the van.
“There he is. I’ll keep my distance,” Gabe says.
This is the same trick we used on Clayton back when he’d tried to kill Luca, and if it worked once, we might as well use it again.
We drive three or four miles before Tanner pipes up.
“He’s slowing down. Looks like his lights are fading in and out.”
“The car should be dead any minute now,” Shane answers.
“Seriously,” Blue whispers. “Are we abducting someone again? Why do you keep including me in this shit?”
I shush her as Granger’s car dies, and we speed up to approach him. “I have to put the hood on you now.”
