Fuck Imani’s mother’s good intentions.
She’d probably slap Alex Williams on the fucking wrist and tell him to fuck with another person from the Redwood slums. But that fucking shit didn’t fly with me. Tonight, Alex Williams was going to fucking learn the consequences of raping, drugging, and dumping an innocent woman.
I pulled back up to Main Street and parked my car in the back, where Landon sat on the curb, smoking a cigarette. I blew out a deep breath, clenched my jaw, and checked my gun to make sure it was loaded.
Landon stood and stomped out his cigarette. “You ready?”
“To kill this fucker?” I asked, clutching the gun in my hand. “You fucking bet your ass.”
Stepping up to the back door, I gripped the handle and glanced back at Landon, who pulled a gun from his waistband. Landon never used a gun unless we were dealing with real fucking shit like this.
“Kai’s with Ana and Imani?” I asked.
“Yeah, he left an hour ago.”
After vowing that I’d get back to Ana, especially if they couldn’t revive Mom, I kicked the door open and drew my gun at the fuckers in the back, playing poker. Cigars smoke lingered heavily in the air, and I glared from each asshole to the next until my gaze landed on Alex.
“Everyone, out,” I growled.
“Stay,” Alex said, standing to meet my gaze. “Who are you?”
“The man who’s going to kill you tonight.” I cocked my gun to the rest of the fucking assholes here. “So, if you don’t want to die alongside him, get the fuck out and keep your mouths fucking shut. Or you’re next.”
Alex chuckled darkly, then called for security. One walked in through the main door, and I shot the guard in the neck without thinking twice about it. I wasn’t fucking around tonight, and this man was making me angrier by the second.
As if they fucking realized that I was serious, Alex’s buddies flooded out of the room through the back door, slid into their Porsches, and sped off Main Street, back to their shitty mansions. I would fucking deal with them later if they had taken part in this.
Putting out his cigar, Alex pulled his wallet out of his suit jacket. “Look, kid. I don’t want trouble. How much you want?”
“How much do I fucking want?” I growled at him, storming forward and sticking the gun to his temple. “I don’t want any of your fucking money, Alex. I told you that I’m not here for money, for power, or for my five fucking minutes of Redwood fame. I’m here to kill you.”
Overcome with fury, I slammed my left fist into his nose and shoved him backward. He stumbled back into the wall and grasped his nose, which gushed with blood. I would kill him, but first, I would torture this fucker, the same way he had tortured Mom.
“Luana Rocha,” I said. “You fucking drugged her.”
“Luana Rocha?” he said, shaking his head. “I’ve never heard of her before.”
I threw my gun onto the table and hit him square in the jaw this time, sending him to the ground. Blood covered my knuckles, but I wasn’t finished with him. I knelt by his side and slammed my fist into him again. And again. And again.
“The sex worker you hired last night,” I said between gritted teeth.
“Oh, the whore,” he said, spitting up blood. “What do you want with her?”
Grabbing him by the collar in one hand, I pounded my right fist into his head, hitting him hard enough each time that his head banged against the tiled floor. Blood pooled underneath him, but I continued.
“She’s my fucking mother.” Another punch. “And you drugged her.” Punch. “Raped her.” Punch. “Dumped her like she was less than nothing.” Punch. “And you don’t give a fuck about her. You didn’t even know her fucking name.”
He opened his mouth to talk back to me, and I punched in his teeth. His two front teeth cracked and fell into his mouth, down his throat. I snapped his sorry mouth closed and forced him to swallow his own two teeth and start choking on them.
Fucker deserved it.
“Give me a fucking knife, Landon.”
Landon pulled a knife from his pocket and set it in my hand. I cut Alex Williams’s shirt down the middle and stuck the knife against his chest, carving the words Whore Lover into his pasty-ass skin.
Mom was a whore, but not in a bad sense.
