Darren Mitchell parked his car beside Paul’s, and leaning back in the seat, he waited for his boss to climb out of his own car before following suit.

It was a well-known fact that dealing with Lucas was the equivalent of skating on thin ice, extremely thin ice. He was a hard fucker at the best of times, with fists the size of shovels. Not only was he difficult to manage, but once narcotics were brought into the equation and the coke was raging throughout his bloodstream, he became virtually unmanageable, hence why, in any normal circumstance, they were more than happy to leave either Paul or Jason the unfortunate task of dealing with him. No, Lucas wasn’t the usual type of junkie they were used to dealing with. He was, in fact, the bane of their lives, not to mention a ticking time bomb.

“You know, if it was me …” Charlie Wilson nodded toward the pub. He was a good looking man with dark brown hair, brown eyes and a naturally cocky, aggressive nature. “I’d plant a bullet between his eyes and just be done with it. The man is a fucking joke and that’s an understatement.”

Darren sighed. He could see Charlie’s point, not that he would ever voice his opinion out loud, of course. He knew when to keep schtum, and when it came to Lucas, that was exactly what he did. He knew for a fact that both Paul and Jason loved Lucas like a brother. He still remembered the old days before Lucas’s habit had become his only driving force, before he’d become out of control. He had liked the big man once. He’d been astute, reliable—a man you were more than happy to have by your side when faced with trouble. Now, though, there was virtually nothing left of the man he’d once been.

In silence, Darren opened the car door, stepped outside, and leaning his forearms on the open door, he turned back to look at Charlie. In his late twenties, Charlie had only been on Paul’s payroll for a couple of years. In Darren’s eyes, he was still a kid. He hadn’t lived through the good old days like he had, nor the bad days, he surmised. He hadn’t been there while Paul had taken over Samson Ivers’s drug empire. He hadn’t been there to witness the murders, the bloodshed. They were all the same. These young kids, they were blood thirsty, but when faced with an actual turf war, they shit themselves and went running back to their mothers for protection.

“Let me tell you something, Charlie, that kind of talk will be your undoing. Let me give you a heads up, son. When it comes to Lucas, Mooney would rather see a bullet lodged inside your brain than ever willingly harm a hair on that man’s head.”

Charlie rolled his eyes and climbing out of the car. The natural cockiness inside of him wanted to tell Darren to shove his warning up his arse, but he wouldn’t.
