Chapter Seven

“Fuck,” Mick muttered, teeth gritted. He glanced out the kitchen window. The sun glittered down on the wet trees in the backyard after the morning’s storm like nothing had happened. Mick knew better. His three hired guys stared at him, probably afraid to say a word. Rage was never helpful when extracting information.

“Did you check the house on Green Street?” he asked, biting out each word to keep himself from screaming at them. Or worse, carving them into little pieces. I hired them because they were the best and they lose my sister after only a week on the job.

“Yeah. The place is cleaned out,” Marcus said. He was the most competent of the three bodyguards, and the oldest. His silvered hair made him look distinguished.

Right now, Mick didn’t give a fuck about Marcus’s references, his experience, or his supposed goddamn competence. “I am still not entirely clear on how my little sister, a fifteen year old girl, slipped past three grown men.” He leaned on the table, gripping the edge to keep himself from unsheathing one of his blades. God, he wanted to cut someone open so badly right now. A little blood would calm him right down, but unfortunately it tended to have the opposite effect on his victims. And right now, he needed information more than he needed soothing. “Three highly trained grown men. Suckered by a little girl.” He gritted his teeth and forced himself to stop talking. Silence would get them to spill the details better than he could by yapping on and on. He glared at the men.

“She said she had to use the bathroom,” Bradley offered, clearly uneasy. His brown hair flopped over his forehead and into his eyes.

Probably why my sister got away from him. He can’t see past his stupid hair. Mick ground his teeth together so hard pain stabbed through his ears. “And you let her?”

Bradley glanced at Jack, then at Marcus. “She said she had female stuff to do in there.” He licked his lips. “We covered the exits.”

“Obviously, you didn’t cover all the exits, or she wouldn’t be missing.” Mick stood up, fists clenched. “Give me a good reason why I shouldn’t slice you into tiny pieces right now.”

Jack crossed his arms over his chest. “There are three of us and only one of you.” His lip curled.

“Wow. I thought you had more brains than that.” Mick stared into the man’s cold brown eyes until they dropped down and away. “If I wanted you dead, you’d be dead.” He looked at all three of the bodyguards, fingers itching for blood.

“It was just a little coffee shop. There was no one around. We were the only customers.” Bradley shoved his hands into his pockets. “She probably ran away. Kids do that.”

Ran away? It was all Mick could do to keep from yelling. Aileen wouldn’t run away, not now, not with everything he’d been doing the past several months to take down Tony DiLorenzo’s organization. She was smarter than that.
