“Alone?”
“What?”
“Are the other two alone?”
“Yes.Why the fuck should that matter?”
See.Sloppy.“I wouldn’t discuss how you fucked up my plan.You know, the one I had perfected.”
“You know that she was taking a break outside.We didn’t know that.
“You promised me that the three of you could do your job.That you would contain the woman so that I could get her.”
Henry lifted his chin.Jesus, he should have taken care of this situation on his own.He thought it might be best to be hands-off.He had a fall guy lined up and ready to take the fall.Then this shit.
“We did our job.The woman wasn’t in the house.What about the guy?”
He knew Chang was trying to distract him.It wouldn’t work.
“Don’t worry.I have him tucked away safe, where no one will find him.”
The funny thing was, these people thought he was a pushover.Just some rich guy with money.He did have money, but he wasn’t nice.He wasn’t a pushover.He was fucking death.
“We can still get her.”
There was noweleft.But he gave nothing away.Despite this fuck up, Henry Chang was a lethal man.He was good at killing, and only a stupid man would be too arrogant to take Chang seriously.He was a threat.But one thing he was good at was eliminating threats.It was how he ended up on top of the cartel.
“True,” he said carefully as he walked over to Chang, keeping a close eye on the other man’s hands.“But how would you do that?You and your friends fucked it up so much the first time, how can you be sure you can do this right this time around?”
“Just like I said before.We should have taken her from her house.”
He sighed.God save him from arrogant men who think because they’re evil, they are smart.
Chang leaned forward to take another hit of coke, and he knew this was the best time to surprise the bastard.Stepping closer, he pulled out the gun he’d secured behind his back.It was already equipped with a silencer.As Chang sat back up, he raised the gun.
“And I said that was a dumbass plan,” he said, pulling the trigger.Henry fell back against the white leather, blood splattered.
With a shrug, he turned and headed upstairs.It was time to take care of the other two.That way, Task Force Hawaii would be chasing their tails as they tried to figure out just what the fuck was going on.And he would be able to get to Keely.Finally.
Seven
After a few more questions, Keely kept looking at her phone.
“Is it time for you to go?”Ryan asked.
She shook her head, then made a face.“We have time.I know you can’t rush my father.When he wants to discuss something, there is no diverting his attention.”
Ryan knew she wanted to go to Ray’s, so he looked at Kap.
“Can you check on her father?See if he’s done?”
“Sure.Is there anything you need?”Kap asked, his voice dipping an octave.He’d seen his teammate use it a lot when he was trying to pick up women.
Ryan frowned at him.
She smiled at Kap, which just pissed off Ryan.She was a victim.She didn’t need Kap using his stupid Southern charm on her.“No, thank you.”
He didn’t like how quiet her voice had gotten.
