Page 76 of Killer
“Did I give you permissionto fucking speak?”
Blood dripped down from theblade.
“She means nothing to him.Whythe fuck are you bothering with her?”Killer asked, feelinghelpless.He’d never been helpless in his life, and yet there wasnothing he could do.
“Any man in our world who keepstheir woman a secret is important,” Knife guy said.“She’ll beperfect for what we want, and then we’ll sell her.”
If they left the house then hewas fucked.Finding Kelsey would be impossible if they tried tosell her.Menlike them wouldn’t give a fuck about her.They would sell her toturn over a profit.“No, you’re not leaving here.”
He was laughedat.His anger spikedat their mocking.
“You’re in no position tobargain with us.”The knife guy nodded to the man at herwrist.
She screamed as the knife dragged over thewound that had been healing.Blood seeped out of thewound.
“Let her the fuck go!”Heyelled the words, forcing himself to hold back from what washappening.
Blood fell from her wrist to drop onthe floor.
Turning his gun he tensed on the trigger.He didn’t fire, and only wished he could.
“You’re Killer, right?Why don’tyou join us?We pay a lot of money, and the women are easy to comeby.They’ll do everything to stop the pain.”
Kelsey whimpered.
Shaking his head, he gritted his teethknowing he needed to make a choice.He either fired at one andrisked the other two killing her, or he let them walk out, hopingno harm came to her.Both choices were fucking shitones.
“I love you,” she said, mouthingthe words so noone could see but him.
No, he wasn’t saying goodbye, and herwords felt like a goodbye.Shaking his head, he stared at theothers.None of them left him a choice.
When he was about to let down his weaponhe heard a shot ring out, and the man with the gun at her head felldown.He didn’t give himself time to panic, only to react.Firinghis gun he dropped the other two men, and Kelsey collapsed in aheap.Noise filled the house as more men came around the front.Hewent down to the floor, turning and holding his gun up.
Thank fuck he didn’t fire as he wasstaring at Tiny, leader of The Skulls.
Throwing the gun away, he wentto Kelsey’s side.Her wrist was bleeding, and he wrapped her wrist with atowel.
“I’ve got you,baby.”
She had a cut at herthroat.
“What the hell is going on?”heasked, turning back to Tiny.He paused seeing Michael standingbeside him.“You?”Reaching for his gun he had the other mantrapped against the wall.
Within seconds two guns weretrained on him, and his brothers had guns trained on the men.
“Are you going to kill me?”Michael asked.
“Killer, man, let him go.We’ll tell you everything,” Tiny said, putting a hand on hisshoulder.
“He’s responsible forhurting my woman.”
“No, he’s not.Please, we’ve gotto get you out of here and deal with this mess.”Tiny kept talking,but all Killer wanted to do was kill Michael.
“Killer, help me please,”Kelsey said.
Her pain-filled voice got through tohim.
Withdrawing, he glared at theother man,but he walked away.Kelsey needed him a lot more than this fuckerneeded to die.
