Chapter Thirteen – Travis

We took Ray and the cars to a warehouse my family frequented. They didn’t own it, but they did pay the owner handsomely to use it and keep his mouth shut about it. The things money could do—the list only grew the more money you had, and my family had a shit ton. That was a mathematical amount, too. A shit ton.

When you dealt with things most people didn’t want to think about, when you handled accidental deaths and high-profile assassinations, you tended to be paid well. My family did a little bit of everything, and you learned early what was expected of you. I had no idea what my position in the family would be once I graduated Hillcrest, but whatever it was, I knew I’d do just fine.

Ray was currently strung up in the center of the warehouse, a spotlight on him. Chains held his wrists together and over his head, tied to one of the structural beams of the place. His head was bent forward, almost unnaturally so, meaning he was still unconscious. I stood near Lincoln and Markus, glaring at him, wishing he would wake up.

Oh, we could just kill him and get rid of him, but where would the fun be in that? Ray thought he was the baddest psycho to walk these streets? He had no idea how crazy my family really was, but by the time he breathed his final breath, I’d make sure he knew.

A rolling cart sat near us, small metal instruments laying on top of it on a rolled-out leather bag. The silver steel glinted with the light of the spotlight, the sharp edges of each instrument not looking nearly as menacing as I wished they did. They were all clean, sterilized; they looked almost new.

My family was not one for half-assing things, especially something like this.

Lincoln had his arms crossed, still wearing the same leather gloves he’d worn when sneaking up on Ray. Ash had done well, keeping Ray’s attention on her, getting him away from the car, and now she was with Declan and Will—I did not want to think of that, though. My own fingers tightened in gloves very similar to Lincoln’s.

Short, smooth leather. The gloves ended just at the palm, covering anyplace that had those tiny, identifying markings. You always had to be careful when you were dealing in death.

“How much longer until he wakes up?” I asked, glaring at Ray’s still figure. He stood on his feet, although since he was unconscious, he was sagging a bit, pulling his arms taut from the chain over his head. My heart beat rapidly in my chest, and I wanted nothing more than to end this once and for all, get this bastard out of the picture.

This wasn’t about me killing him. This was about me inflicting pain, me letting Ray know that he’d crossed the wrong girl. This was about me making sure Ray felt every ounce of pain he possibly could before he breathed his last breath.
