We would place our men to help Gabriel weed out all the fucking traitors.
But first, we needed to kill the fucking bastard.
I nodded my signal, and Maxim spoke into the microphone.
Two long seconds passed in silence, and then …
A boom rang out through the base.
Men shouted and came out of the base with guns blazing.
“Now!” I shouted.
All of my and Gabriel’s men came out and surrounded the building.
“Kill every fucker on site,” I yelled out. “No one lives.”
“Yes, sir!” Came the collected response.
I smiled and shot the first fucker that came at me, getting a direct hit in the head.
He fell, and I moved on to the next one and the next until my bullets ran out, and I threw the gun away, taking out the knife strapped to my waist.
I faced a big fucker. He charged at me, and I twisted out the way, though he still caught me on the waist.
I grunted and moved my hand there, feeling the wetness gathering.
Fuck.
Catalina was going to freak out when she saw this.
Stupid fucker.
I turned and threw my knife at him.
It clipped him on the shoulder, and I slammed him to the ground before he could recover.
His neck snapped from the impact, causing his head to bounce, and I pulled my arm back and punched him in the face, over and over and over again, until it was nothing more than a bloody mess.
I grabbed his knife and slit his throat.
Blood spurted and sprayed my face. I wiped it away with my arm and looked down at the unmoving body, my mind operating on autopilot.
It was easier to kill when you didn’t think.
I looked back to see Gabriel holding his own. He came up next to me moments later, blood coating his face.
Not his blood.
I threw a cloth from my pocket at him and turned to face the guards in front.
They took one look at us and threw their weapons down, kneeling.
I laughed and shot one while Gabriel took out the other.
There was no mercy in this world.
They lay dead on the ground, in a pool of their own blood as we busted the doors open, taking the lead.
