Page 56 of His Claim

“Flip him over,” Leo ordered. “I want him to look me in the eye when I take his life.”

Princeton flipped him over, and Apollo moved to help hold him down.

“Stop flailing around,” Apollo grunted. “You’re just gonna make this worse.”

Brandt kicked his leg and missed Apollo’s head by a couple of inches.

Leo moved over him and drew his gun. “You couldn’t just leave us alone,” Leo drawled.

Brandt spat at Leo and cussed him out. “Fuck you, asshole. You think you own everything and everyone, but you don’t! You don’t even know what’s happening right under your nose.”

I tipped my head to the side.

Leo glanced at Apollo.

“What the fuck does that mean?” I demanded. “You think we don’t know what you were up to?”

Brandy laughed manically. “You didn’t have a fucking clue what I was doing until I grabbed you and that bitch woman of yours.”

I landed a kick to Brandt’s side, and he groaned in pain. “Even think about my woman, and I’ll shove your dick down your throat, asshole.”

Brandt moaned and groaned.

“What do you mean I don’t know what’s going on under my nose?” Leo demanded. “Tell me what that means.”

A slick smile spread across Brandt’s lips. “You think you’re so slick, and your business is clean.” Brandt shook his head and bucked under Creed and Apollo. “For years, you’ve had a traitor,” he screamed. “How do you think I was always two steps ahead of you? I knew you were coming here before you even did.”

Leo glanced at Creed. Candace was the one who had given Leo and Creed the place to stay in Minnesota.

“Putting it together?” Brandt called. “All along, you’ve had a snake just living with you, Leo. She knew your every move; all she had to do was tell me. I can’t tell you how many times I could have taken you out, but I didn’t.”

“Shut the fuck up!” Creed screamed.

“You can kill me, but she’s not going to stop. She’s not going to let you go.” Brandt laughed manically. “My sister is going to kill you each, one by one. When you least expect it, she’s going to kill you. For fifteen years, she’s watched and studied you. It’s only a matter of time–”

Leo pulled the trigger and shot a bullet right between his eyes.

Brandt instantly went limp, his eyes open and mouth agape.

“Holy fuck,” Apollo gasped. “Candace is Brandt’s sister?”

“How the fuck did we miss that?” I demanded.

Leo shot at Brandt again, this time at his heart, and then dropped his arm to his side. “Clean this up, and let’s get a move on.” Leo looked at each of us. “We’ve got some exterminating to do back home.”

Chapter Twenty-Six

Tatum

“Hello?”

“Baby girl,” Murphy responded.

My heart leaped at the sound of my nickname. I was worried I would never hear it come from his lips again.

“Are you okay?” I asked frantically. It had been close to six hours since I had heard from him, and each minute that had passed by made me worry even more.

“I’m good, Tatum. We’re just packing up, and then we’re on the way back.”
