Chapter Fourteen

Murphy

Cillian’s face grows even more severe as we sit in his sedan, down the road from where the police are securing the murder scene. Tape stretches from corner to corner and a crowd has formed, many of them with their phones out, aiming them at the collection of police officers.

Juan has killed one of my men.

He cut off his head and left it there for a goddamn kid to find.

“He’s bringing Cartel shit to my city,” I snarl.

Cillian nods slowly, his hands tight on the steering wheel. He’s worked as hard as I have to make this city safe, to rise above our mob origins and bring some legitimacy to the city. Idiots think that crime means blood and violence and pain, but it doesn’t have to.

It can mean using our underworld gruffness to make things better, safer, more civilized.

But I’m not feeling very fucking civilized right now.

“Do we know who did it?” I ask.

“No. But they left a calling card on the body. One of our contacts managed to grab it before the police turned up. It has an address. A warehouse on the outskirts of the city. Apparently Juan wants to talk.”

Tension pumps through me when I think about our man, Jamie, and his wife and his kids… all the pain that’s going to tear through their world because of Juan and his Cartel tactics.

“That sounds like a trap,” I comment.

Cillian laughs gruffly. “Yeah, I’d say so.”

“Then what the fuck are we waiting for? Let’s go.”

Cillian flinches, glancing at me. “Are you serious?”

“He wants to scare us,” I tell him. “He thinks that just because we’ve led this city into a better place, we’re not willing to do what’s necessary. We’ll show him how fucking wrong he is. This is his message. We need to send one of our own.”

The anger that rises up from inside of me – that twists my gut and makes me want to roar like a damn lion – comes partly from Juan but also partly from Molly… not anger aimed at her, but for her, for us, for our family. I’ve worked hard to make this city safe and now Juan wants to change that, meaning that when she brings our children into this world they’re going to grow up in a crime-ridden hellhole.

“Are you sure?” Cillian murmurs.

“Rally the troops,” I snarl. “We’re going.”

He nods. “Yes, boss.”
