“How the hell do you plan to control this? Shit, G, Lizzy will be with Dante. This is your brother. What the hell?”

“I’m not allowing Arty live ammo on this. You’re going to provide the guns. Trust me, he’s not going to want to be traced. He’ll accept the gift, but I know something is going to take a turn. The girls will be there for safety. As a matter of fact, provide the car too. Something that will stand out to us.”

“Then why not hold off?”

“I could hold off, but that’s not going to stop someone from targeting me or my brother at this event. The girls will be there regardless. Why not finish my plan?”

I roll my eyes. “I’ve got it. A million, a car, and hardware.”

“No, half a million. They’re not going to live beyond the night to get the other half. Ming will make the second drop and finish them.”

Controlled Chaos

I go to text for Arty to roll in and for the soundtrack to be played from the decoy car. However, I get a text from Ny.

Ny:Had a bad feeling so I logged into the remote. Liz has been doxed. Her location for this evening is public. I’m not going to make it. Protect my sister.

I look up and swiftly gaze around. Jace moves to my side quickly. “What?”

“Lizzy was doxed again. They know she’s here.”

No sooner than the words are out of my mouth, the feeling I’ve been having rises. I turn to Jace.

“Go,” I bark and pull my guns.

I see them as the windows roll down. It’s not the gray car Jace gave Arty. I don’t even bother to think twice. I aim right into the window and put a bullet in the head of the one in the back seat. They get two shots off. My blood runs cold. Just as I get ready to take out the guy in the front, the windshield is hit, and he slumps.

“Take the tires,” I sneer as I aim and blow out the front and back ones facing me. My snipers get the other two.

I grunt and wave for my guys to follow me. The driver tries to jump out and run. A warning shot from one of the ladies keeps him still.

The sound of tires peeling off catches my attention. I see Dante’s SUV taking off and Jace is headed my way with a scowl.

“Who the fuck are they?” I bark as my guys pull the doors open where the bodies are.

Jace takes the wallets he’s handed. “Sean Gallagher and Christopher Walsh.”

“I… I’m just the driver. Some guy paid Sean to come scare Izzy,” the driver whimpers.

“What guy?” I roar.

“I… I swear, I… I don’t know. It was some guy who’s been popping up in chats asking around about how serious we are about showing these girl gamers where they belong.

“I was paid a hundred bucks to drive my dad’s car. He’s going to kill me,” he groans.

“What are you? Like thirty? You were a waste of his sperm to begin with.”

“You sound like my dad,” he murmurs.

Ignoring him, I turn to Jace. “Were Dante and Lizzy all right?”

“Yeah, Dante was hit, but the vest took it,” Jace replies.

He waves me over and dips close to my ear. Holding up his phone for me to see. “Peter Hall.”
