The volts of electricity pumping through my chest made every single nerve ending in my body flare to life and explode with pain. I opened my mouth to scream, but no sound came out. Instead, my legs went out from under me again, and I slumped to the ground, my muscles jumping and twitching with spasms. It was all I could do to hold on to my hammer, but I knew that if I let go of it, I was dead.

Sierra smiled, leaned down, and hit me with the stun gun again. My head arched back, and I could feel every tendon in my neck, shoulders, and chest straining against the electricity surging through my body. Once again, I opened my mouth to scream but couldn’t get a sound out. Every wave of electricity felt like ropes of fire curling tighter and tighter around my body.

Sierra finally pulled the stun gun away from my chest, and I slumped against the side of the car, all the fight fried right out of me. Sweat ran down my face, the salt of it stinging my eyes, and I struggled to blink away the moisture and push down the pain pulsing through my body.

I was dimly aware of Phillip still struggling with Stuart off to my left. It sounded like the giant had had a little more life left in him than I’d thought.

“Geez,” Sierra muttered, staring at Richie, who was still lying on the pavement where he’d fallen. “You really did a number on him, didn’t you?”

She dug the sharp toe of her red stiletto into the dwarf’s side, but of course, Richie didn’t move. He was much too dead for that.

“Who . . . are . . . you?” I finally managed to rasp.

She bent down so she could look into my eyes. “I’m the woman who’s going to kill the high and mighty Spider—not you and your buddy there. I knew that you were up to something. You were showing way too much interest in her inside the club. Tell me, did they hire you to take out Blanco too? As a backup team in case I failed?”

They? Who were they? Who had hired Sierra to kill Gin?

“I don’t know . . . what you’re . . . talking about,” I said, my voice still low, strained, and hoarse.

Sierra narrowed her hazel eyes, as if she didn’t believe me. She started to hit me with the stun gun a third time, but her cold gaze flicked to Phillip. He must have been close to finishing off Stuart, because Sierra straightened up.

“Ah, well. You want something done right . . .” Her voice trailed off, and she gave me another predatory smile. “Now, at least, I don’t have to split the money with those two idiots. Not that I planned on doing that anyway. While Blanco was killing them, I was going to take her out.”

So Sierra had planned for the two men to be a distraction while she snuck up on Gin, just like Richie had been going to do to Stuart.
