“Whatthe hell do you want?” she asks me before turning toHunter. “Andwho the hell are you?”
“Ijust came to see you in prison where you belong,”Itell her, shrugging.
“Ijust came to see the cunt that messed with my sister before she dies,”Huntersays to her with a sinister grin on his face.Herface scrunches up as she looks at us in confusion.
“Let’snot forget the fact that she and my father had my mother killed,”Isay conversationally, likeI’mnot still pissed at that.Shesucks in a breath and a scared look crosses her face. “Ohyeah, we know all about that.”
“Idon’t know what you’re talking about,” she lies.
“Cutthe bullshit.Weknow everything that you’ve done.Whythe fuck do you think you’re in prison right now and no one is coming to help you or your case out?”Ismirk.
“Wha-what?Thiswas all your doing?”Shegasps in shock.
“Well, me and my brother-in-law here, but yeah, it was all our doing.Youmessed with the wrong fucking people.Howdoes it feel to know that you did so much wicked shit and all it will you is prison?”
“I’mgoing to get out of here!Ididn’t do anything!” she snaps.
“Withall the evidence we provided to the feds, let’s just say that you’re never getting out of here.Andjust to make sure that never happens, the countdown begins now.Youhave a few hours left to live.Ihope you enjoy them, you fucking cunt!”Ilean over and whisper to her before getting to my feet.
