Chapter Twenty-Five

If the Destroyer wasn’t so pissed, he’d be confused as hell. In his current state, however, all he wants are some freaking answers.

“Why was I fired?” he says.

Corrigan Mars stares straight ahead. “Mr. Kelly isn’t thinking clearly.”

“Was this because of last night?”

Corr’s head snaps toward him. “What happened last night?”

Stupid mouth. The Destroyer tries to get control of his temper, which will only cause him to make stupid decisions, say stupid things. “Uh, nothing. Just a disagreement with Michael Kelly. I thought it was resolved.” Obviously if any of this was about what happened with the cruel but gorgeous assistant and her dumbass boyfriend he would’ve been arrested instead of fired. And after what he did with their bodies, the world may never know what really happened to them.

He almost smiles at the thought. It was the first time he’d killed anyone he wasn’t ordered to kill. And yet, they were just as deserving of death as the others.

Corr holds his stare for a moment, as if trying to read his mind. Finally, he looks away and says, “Yeah, me too.” He folds his hands together. God, that man’s eyebrows are bushy, the Destroyer thinks, wondering how he didn’t notice it until now. Then again, until yesterday and today, he’d never been in such close proximity.

“Why am I here then?” he asks. He braces himself with his metal arm as the car takes a corner with heart-pumping speed. The aut-car seems to be breaking every single traffic law ever created. It gives him a pointless blaze of satisfaction being a part of it.

“You may be officially ‘fired,’”—Corr makes air quotes with his fingers, as if the word is something a child would say—“but unofficially your employment begins now.”

“I don’t understand. Why would I want to work unofficially?” Whatever that even means.

“Because you’ll be working directly for me. No more small-minded imbeciles like Hodge. No more having to answer for every little decision you make. You get the job done, and I won’t ask how. You see, Destroyer”—he can’t help but smile at the nickname—“you’ll be free, completely off the books.”

He mulls it over, wondering how he could possibly be this lucky. Because I’m a freaking rock star, he thinks to himself. “What do you want me to do?” he asks.

“Kill the damn Slip.”

He doesn’t flinch, savoring the moment, which feels as if he’s standing on a mountain peak. “What are the rules?” he asks.

“I want this done quickly and outside of official channels. There are no rules.”

“When do I start?”

“Immediately. My own private Hawk has already located a potential match for the target, the name Benson Mack coming up numerous times from holo-ad eye-scans near a known hideout for undesirables, well-hidden from thermal sensors. The Crows have been watching it for a few weeks, hoping it would lead to a larger group.”
