“Now how do I get out of here? I can kill you fast or slowly. I’ll make sure if anyone asks that you went down fighting.”

“I’m not telling you shit!” He yells in my face.

“Tsk tsk.” I tell him. He’s on his knees and I take my knife then stab him again in the gut. He grinds his teeth together to stop him from screaming out. “Fine, I’ll look around your room.” I open drawers and go through the papers. My blood stained fingers are covering a lot of what I need to read so I try to stick to the corners. I know Joker will want to go over these with her keen eyes. I hope it gives us something. I put them over and once the drawers are empty, I pull them out then flip them over to see about keys, papers, anything to give me something. Once I get through it all, I still have nothing, so I decide to destroy everything in this room. I even feel around the room. I see a painting and there’s a button. I click on it. There’s a panel. I look over my shoulder smirking at him.

“Not going to figure it out.” I bite my lip as I look around it. Then I spot it. “Easy or hard way?” I mutter to myself, “Please pick the hard way.”

Chapter Forty-Three

Noah

We pace the room as we wait for word from Shrink. I asked Bubbles who Shrink was as I didn’t really know anything about her. She was explaining to me that Rosemary “Shrink” Howard is the chaplain of the group. She’s the go to when it comes to voice of reason when there is a lot of conflict. She’s more hippy-like than nun-like. “Don’t let the road name get you, she will fuck up a person if she has to, but the girls are her family first. Hurt one of them, and she will hide the body parts with a smile on her face. It’s funny when people find out she’s a teacher. She loves being a third grade teacher.”

“Do you all smile when you kill?” I laugh and Bubbles joins me.

“If you grew up like we did, then yeah. I’m not going to share everyone’s past because it’s their story to tell.”

“Shrink just called. We’re fucked.” Joker’s voice comes through loud and clear. “Tommy is the only one who can open it. There’s biometric scanner inside behind a painting of a church. You need a fingerprint and eyeball scan.”

“Fuck!” I yell, punching the wall next to me. “Can we take the hinges off? Is that something we’re capable of?” Asking out loud, knowing the women are listening to me.

“I’ll be right there to see what we can do.” Tripline says. I walk back into the room. Luka’s smug face pisses me off.

“Well since we don’t need you anymore, I guess we can kill you.” Bubbles announces like she’s telling someone about a new pair of shoes. Luka rolls his eyes.

“TJ, would you really kill your family? I am your brother-in-law.” Luka smirks. TJ steps forward, but before he can do anything Tripline comes in.

“Get him over to that corner because I don’t know what I’m going to need to get in there.” I nod as TJ and I move Luka to the other side of the room. I cross my arms standing next to Luka.

“Michelle will never forgive you if anything happens to me.” Luka stares at TJ. “Where is she?”

“Don’t you worry about my sister because after tonight, you’ll be a memory.” TJ pulls on Luka’s hair, snapping his neck back. “Your family took so much from us and I’ll be damned if I let you take anymore.” Tripline is banging on the hinges trying to remove the pin from it. She informs us once she gets the first one out she’ll need TJ and me to help.

“Hold on, baby.” I whisper. I hope the universe hears my pleas.

What kind of condition will she be in when we get there?

Chapter Forty-Four

Medusa

“I’m not giving you shit! You’re losing a lot of blood with the bullet wound, the stab wounds, and the head injuries, so you’re not going to be able to lift me.” Tommy taunts.

“I don’t need you alive and breathing do I?” I chuckle. “Now, should I take the right or left eye? Which one would be better?” I tap my finger against my lips. “Eeny, meeny, miney, moe.” I singsong as I slice down his cheeks. The blood looks like tears flowing down his face which makes me smile. “And you know what’s funny? You can’t do a damn thing about this becauseyou’re turning gray. Tommy, your life is draining as we speak. But don’t worry, I’m not done with you.”

“What do you want? Just put a bullet in my brain.” Tommy’s voice is defeated.

“I have your drugs, money, and guns. Your kids are gone, and the women you loved are dead as well. The men who served you should all be dead and if we missed some, they’ll either go underground or come out to avenge your death and we’ll handle that too.” I shrug. “What more is there?”

“Do you want to know where your mother is?” he asks.

I roll my eyes. “Her body is on the land where the body shop was. Did you not think we’d figure it out? We’re not as dumb as you think we are. The DeMarco Family is no more. I’m sure Luka is gone too or will be soon.” It was then Tommy’s face lit up.

“There is one family member you forgot about. I have a daughter-in-law.” I keep my face focused to not give anything away. Please don’t tell me it’s Michelle. I don’t want to kill my sister. “I see the wheels turning because you figured it out. My son and your sister.” He laughs that belly laugh that pisses me off. I ball my fist and punch his nose. He screams out in pain, making me laugh. “If you kill Luka, she’ll never forgive you.”

“I’ll deal with it.” I shrug like it is no big deal, but I know it’s a huge fucking deal. “Now, it’s time.” I take my knife out and swing it down to his hand to remove four of his five fingers. The scream he lets out is pure magic, making me laugh even harder. “Your screams make me happy.” I lean into his ear, “I can’t wait to fuck Noah because I’m so fucking turned on by the pain you’re in, not just from the blood loss, fingers gone, and knowing your eye is next…but knowing you’re dying with your entire empire gone, wiped out by the fifteen-year-old girl who saw you kill her dad.” I grab his white hair and begin to carve out his eyeball. Tommy keeps moving his head thinking this is going to stop me from doing it. The squish of the eyeball popping out makes mesmile. Tommy’s body crashes to the floor. I pick up a finger and the eye. I get it all scanned then I feel it.

Tommy’s legs swipes my legs out from under me. I hit my head on the floor hard. The air is knocked out of me. Tommy’s heel connected with my sternum and throat. I wheeze and try to move but his legs wrap around my throat.How the fuck did he manage this maneuver?
