I can feel their fear. They’re stuck between a rolling stone and a cliff and are not sure what to do. No doubt they’ve seen their boss’ cruelty, so I know they’ve heard what he can do.
“Oh, please. You’re upset because we shot at her? Isn’t she in your mitts because of her dad, anyway? How good is her pussy that you’re willing to forgive his debt to you?”
I spin around and clock that sucker right in the jaw. A loud cracking sound echoes against the cement walls.
I will not have anyone disrespecting Serenity like that. I have my hand around his throat when I look up and see Rico giving me that look. He’s telling me to calm the fuck down.
I lean down, and before I let go, I say in a menacing voice, “I haven't forgiven anything.”
Turning around, I close my eyes and try to find some calm. I haven’t forgiven my debt with Brockman. He’s still on my list of people to deal with. There was to be a transaction between me and Serenity, but it’s not about any debt, and it sure as hell isn’t anyone’s business but ours.
In fact, we've gotten closer to tracking that little shit down.
I hear some whispering behind me and see that Turner and Banes are talking.
“What?” I shot my questions, and both guys freeze.
I rip the bag off Banes's head. He’s a hell of a lot more scared than Turner.
“What?” I ask again, practically growling.
“The b-bosses. I heard they wanted to talk to you.”
“Shut up,” Turner hisses.
I kick at Turner's legs. “Why wouldn’t I want to know that?”
Turner swallows hard and doesn’t answer my questions. This is getting exhausting. I nod to Massimo. He gets up and grips the back of Turner’s chair. He drags it out of the room as he shouts and asks what we’re doing.
I turn back to Banes, who is shaking like a leaf.
“Why did your partner not want you to tell us that? And I will not be repeating any of my questions.”
Banes licks his lip and sits up in his chair. “The bosses were hoping that after we… you know… that you’d come after them. When I said they wanted to talk to you, they hoped you’d set up a meeting.”
“Why do they want me to come after them or have this meeting?”
“They think you have Brockman. They want him. They think the girl is distracting you, so if she is out of the picture, and you’re like…. rattled or whatever, it would make it easier.”
This is good information. The only problem is why they would think Serenity is distracting me. I have been continuing business. Looking into Brockman and trying to find these assholes all while she’s been with me.
I hear the door open, and Massimo comes back. Gun in hand.
“Fuck,” Banes mutters in fear.
I grip Bane's jaw. “I want you to go back to your bosses. And I want you to tell those assholes that I’ll meet them. Tomorrow night.” I write down the address of an abandoned building we own on the east side of Vegas.
Banes' head rolls and his eyes are dizzy with fear, so I slap him in the face to keep him aware.
“Hey, you listening?. Tomorrow night. Just those two. You come alone, and so will I. And tell them not to try anything. I’ll be watching.”
They probably will, but at least I warned them.
“W-why would they meet you?” Banes says, probably what his boss's reaction will be.
“Because I have him. And if they want him, they will do as I say,” I lie and send him off.
I turn off the computer and head back into the bedroom, where Serenity is snacking on a piece of chocolate. I slip into bed beside her, and she cuddles against me, wiggling her butt into my crotch.
