Chapter Twelve

Nick cuffed the gang member—Jose Matteo—to the metal chair in one of the barracks’ interrogation rooms. Three doors down, Eric was busy with Matteo’s partner-in-crime—Sonny Luther.

Matteo was a pathetic twenty-year-old, about five-foot-six, and a little chubby around the waistline. The entire right side of his face was turning purple from where Nick had smashed his fist into it. The sonofabitch had gotten off easy. If he hadn’t knocked Matteo out cold, he would gladly have pummeled the rest of the guy’s face to a bloody pulp for hurting Andi. He’d wanted to kill the guy ten times over then get to work on his buddy two doors down. But he needed them alive so they could talk, and talk fast.

Given that the third asshole had gotten away, it wouldn’t be long before some shifty attorney showed up to represent the two men. After that, it would be too late, and the attorney would shut his clients down. Professionalism and the monitor in the corner of the ceiling held him in check. Everything that went down would be done right and recorded for posterity.

He sat on the edge of the table and crossed his arms, staring down at Matteo. Exercising sound tactics, he said nothing. Eventually, the little shit would start squirming.

Matteo leaned back, sending Nick his best defiant, punk-ass look. Won’t work. He’d seen far too many young men and women absorbed by the gang system who’d been taught to act tough. The truth was that inside they were all scared, needing to take advantage of a gang’s pack mentality in order to feel like they belonged.

At first, Matteo maintained eye contact. Then Nick glimpsed the telltale signs of weakening.

Sweat broke out on the kid’s upper lip. He grabbed both sides of the seat and began to squirm. A few seconds later, Matteo broke eye contact and looked away. When he looked back, he lost it.

“Quit fucking staring at me.”

“I’m making you nervous.” He knew he was.

“Fuck no.”

“Then it shouldn’t matter if I stare at you.”

He was careful not to ask questions. Matteo had been read his rights and claimed he wanted a lawyer. It was up to Nick to convince him otherwise. Without asking any questions.

“I ain’t talkin’, and you know it. So why am I here?”

Gotcha.

“Kidnapping. Assault. Unlawful possession of a switchblade. Unlawful possession of a firearm. Conspiracy. Resisting arrest. And my personal favorite—assault on a police officer.”

Matteo leaned forward. “Didn’t know you were a cop at first.”

“Doesn’t matter. You’ll still be charged for that.”

Matteo swore again. “That ain’t fair.”

“I couldn’t care less.” He paused, allowing the ramifications of all those charges to sink in. “This isn’t your first arrest, which means you’ll do hard time.”

More sweat broke out on the kid’s brow and neck. Damp patches darkened his armpits and the front of his shirt. Nick had already run Matteo’s criminal history. For a gang member, it actually hadn’t been that bad. Petty crimes mostly. These new charges would send him away for a long time.
