After he did the job I supplied him with all the drugs he could ever want. I should’ve given him a bad batch the fucking idiot.
The body was not supposed to ever surface.”
“So who are your buyers? How do you see this all playing out? You can’t believe that you’ll get away with it.”
“I already have, I’ve covered my tracks. There’s no connection between Riley and me except a working one. No one has ever seen me around here before, because obviously I wore a disguise on my jaunts into your old backyard.
As to the town’s deadbeat, there’s nothing to connect me with him either, so you see, I’m clear, except for one little thing. How much does Chase know? I know he’s been snooping around, so just how far did he…”
He broke off and we both turned to the sound of leaves rustling. I’d bee standing in front of him while he told his tale of murder and treason but now he grabbed me and pulled me in front of him with the gun to my head.
“There’s nothing there, it’s just the wind.” As if to confirm my words, a strong gust of wind blew just then and I felt him relax.
DONOVAN
“Hold it Chase.” I shrugged off Matt’s hand as I watched that asshole put a gun to her head.
I’d called them as soon as I’d tracked her location but they were already on the road.
They’d had the good sense to leave the chief at home with his wife, both of them still in the dark for now.
“I can take him from here.”’
“Wait until he let her go, I don’t care how good a shot you are, we’re not risking that shit.”
“Tell me that shit when it’s your woman with that shit at her head.” I knew it made sense but I was sure I could take the fucker from this close.
The other Spalding boys weren’t saying anything but their eyes were glued to the spot where their sister stood with a gun to her head
I should’ve followed my gut, why hadn’t I followed my fucking gut? I watched as he released her and she slumped in relief.
I couldn’t look at her face. I didn’t want to see the fear I was sure would be there. I just needed her to move a little to the left and I would have a clear shot, yeah, right there.
As if she’d heard me she bent over to tie her lace or some shit and I took the shot. I wasn’t aiming to kill, that was too easy.
Instead I shot a hole in his gun hand and was on the move with the others behind me before his howl of pain cleared the air.
Justin snatched her up as I went for the asshole. “Get her out of here.”
“No, Donovan let him go. Matt don’t leave him here alone with him he’ll get himself in trouble.”
“Justin get her the fuck out of here.” She fought him like the she cat that she is but he was able to drag her away though I knew he would rather be in on this.
“No one touch him, he’s all mine.”
“Sorry brother, no deal.”
“Sean, fuck.” I knew he’d been too quiet the last few weeks. He had the asshole in a chokehold and was choking him out before I stepped in.
Why the fuck was I saving his ass? Because I didn’t want my friends going to prison, I’m a cop I’ll just claim the fuck resisted or some shit.
“He’s not leaving here alive.”
“Agreed, but it’s mine to do.”
“You can’t kill me, you’re a cop.”
I punched him in his mouth, busting his lip and breaking his teeth. “Think again asshole.”
The four of us took turns stomping his ass because they wouldn’t leave me to it, until a whistle rent the air.
“Okay boys that’s enough.”
“What the fuck?” MIB had finally shown up, or more like they were finally making their presence known.
Two of them came out of nowhere, badges drawn, dark shades and military cuts with wires hanging from their ears. Fucking spooks.
I got one last kick in. Which made the taller of the two, grin. “Dorian Carter, you’re under arrest for murder, the commission of murder and oh yeah, treason against the United States of America.”
“You’ve got it all wrong, they were trying to kill me, I…”
“Save it.” Tall man pressed a button on some little doohickey he had in his hand and Carter’s voice came through loud and clear telling Shania about his little crime spree.
“Where did you guys come from?” I think I saw more of them moving around in the trees.
“We’ve been following him for months, he was good at covering his tracks, but not good enough. We didn’t know just what it was that he was up to, but by the time we figured it out, Riley was dead.”
