Present Day
LEANING BACK IN MY chair, Emerson draws a knife across the man’s
ribs, and blood seeps from the cut. He screams into the gag in his mouth as
he hangs from chains, and I sigh. They always squeal like pigs. What
happened to take it like a man?
Me and my brothers don’t enjoy doing this…maybe except for Liam. He
seems to enjoy pushing the envelope. Regardless, it is a necessity. These
guys don’t talk unless you make them.
It always makes me wonder, though, how far you can push a man to
break his loyalty under the threat of death. If I’ve learned anything, we all
have different limits. Loyalty is in the mind, not the body. So it’s harder to
break, harder to get them to talk. Usually, we push until we know they’re
done talking, then end it with a bullet to the head. It’s simpler that way.
But this one won’t be so lucky. We want to make him hurt. He
approached our mother while she was shopping the other day. He knocked
out Clarence, her bodyguard, and cornered her. No one survives that. We
wouldn’t allow it.
“Who sent you?” Liam asks, his tone firm with a quiet coldness. The
sound of it would send chills down my spine if it were directed at me. Liam
is a ladies’ man, full of charm and comfortable in any room. But when we
have to do this, all of us become different.
Emerson socks him in the face, and I wince. I’m pretty sure the guy lost
teeth, and he will probably choke on them at the rate we’re going. We’re
colder and meaner because we have to be. Otherwise, we’ll all end up in
unmarked graves the Costa’s already have dug for us. It’s been fourteen
years since we ran, and it’s been quiet for the most part. But Mom knew it
wouldn’t last forever. There would come a day when he wanted us back.
The only reason he has left us alone this long was because it worked for
him. He and the Costa mob have a good racket going. But the balance was
disturbed, his seat in Congress is being threatened by an opponent for the
first time in five terms. We’re under the impression that he’s nervous about
the sudden competition. The status quo has changed, and he is a prideful
man who thrives on using others as his pawns. By sending this goon after
our mother, Fred Coldwell is reminding us who’s in control, and he’s still a
part of our lives.
Leaving couldn’t have been easy for Mom when we were teens. She
saved our lives. Now, it’s our turn to protect her by any means necessary.
The time of tentative peace is over.
Our captive screams again, and I’m getting tired of this because we’re not
getting anything. I suspect he’s just a soldier and doesn’t know what his
boss wants. He only does what he’s told.
Liam grabs his hair and yanks his head back while Emerson leans over
him with a menacing glare. “This is your last chance, asshole. If you don’t
start talking, I will knock your lights out—for good, Gregory.
