Relief swept through the young man’s eyes.

“Tell us about Crow,” Steel said.

“Crow hasn’t been around long, that I know of, but for some reason, Tanis trusts him.” The perp’s brow wrinkled as if he wasn’t sure about their relationship.

Justice stared at the perp until he started trembling.

“You give Tanis a message for me. Tell him that I’m coming for him.”

The man stared at him in shock, mouth slightly opened.

“And you tell Crow he should clear out because if he gets in my way, he’s a dead man.”

The perp’s lips trembled.

“You hear me?” Justice asked very, very quietly.

Axel growled low in his throat.

“Yes, I hear you.”

It wasn’t until they were back in his truck that Steel spoke.

“You were like a war machine back there, bud.”

“I left that last one alive, didn’t I?”

“That’s not what I’m talking about. You shot two of them before getting identification. What if they were victims?”

“With guns? Hardly.” Justice punched the button for the radio and music filled the cab.

“I’m only say—”

Justice tapped and the volume blared, cutting off Steel’s words.

“What? I can’t hear you.”

Steel shot him the middle finger.

Justice laughed and gunned it, taking the on-ramp that would take them back toward home.

He felt better after killing those fuckers. And a quick call to Savage had the cleaning crew coming in. Every trace of that shit would be wiped out and cleaned up.

Justice wouldn’t be surprised if they burned it after getting rid of the bodies.

No more kill room.

Next on the list was no more Tanis and Crow.

From his vantage point on a neighboring roof, Crow watched until the Erebus and Genesis assassins left the building.

He didn’t need to linger or wonder where they were headed, he’d memorized their license plate.

Clenching his teeth, his mind raced. It had taken him months to find Blue’s warehouse, but Erebus and Genesis had found it in a matter of hours.

That Blue didn’t come out was a sure sign the guy was dead, and that fucked with his plans.

Without Blue, it was going to be harder, but not impossible, to complete his mission.
