As they finally got inside, the place was semi-filled, and there was clearly an illegal gambling ring going on. They had a scoreboard up, and money was exchanging hands.
Yeah, no.
Not in New Orleans on his turf.
As soon as they saw them, everyone went for guns, and Zayn mowed down the one section with his AR-Fifteen and the copious amount of bad attitude.
Bad guy bodies hit the floor.
One.
By.
One.
They weren’t alone. The shell casings rained down, bouncing on the booze-soaked floor.
As the dust settled, Mikey O’ stepped through the chaos and took his place in the room—where everyone could see him.
It was time to announce his return, and how he was NOT putting up with shit here.
He.
Was.
Done.
“Okay, we all know who I am, so let’s make this fast. I have assholes to kill,” he said, looking around. “The first person to tell me where I can find Cruz Santiago, Chevy Chesary, or produce a picture of Chevy’s spiffy new face, gets one million in cash,” he added, tossing the duffle bag onto the one table near the dead mercenaries.
Yeah, he wanted them to know one thing.
He was not messing around.
At his words, a hush fell over the entire room, as they all looked back and forth at each other.
One guy raised his hand from the floor.
“Stand up,” Jagger said. “You have ten seconds.”
“Cruz isn’t here. He doesn’t come in often. As for Chevy, he hangs out with a lot of cops. He’s always meeting with them. I just don’t know where.”
That didn’t help them out. Clearly, the man didn’t understand the premise of giving them something useful.
So…
Maura shot him.
Jagger didn’t miss a beat.
“Clearly, Assholes, that’s not good enough. I need to know where to find either of them or his face. Next, and let me say that if you end it with ‘I don’t know where’, you’re dead. Are we on the same shitty page?”
Dakota turned his head, and he saw something from his peripheral. When he realized the scumbag was trying to slip a gun from his pants to shoot at them, he stepped in front of Eve and shot the man.
Pointblank.
His brains showered the people behind him as his head exploded.
Everyone jumped, including Eve.
