CHAPTER 25

Micah rolled over in the bed. His group had taken over an entire city block and they took up residence in every home on the block. The home Micah, Londo and a couple others shared was in good shape. Obviously, someone had cleaned the place out, when it came to food and supplies but luckily, they did not destroy the older model townhome. The full-size bed was perfect for Micah to get a good night’s rest; however, his mind was still on Kyle. No matter how comfortable the bed was, Micah could not sleep. He was quickly running out of options and had yet been successful in catching his prey. The last thing he wanted to do was show back up to The Association with avenging Adina.

Sunrays shot through window and beamed directly on the bed. Micah squinted his eyes and raised his hand in front of his face to block the sun. Loud chatter could be heard coming from the main level of the home. His head was pounding. It had been days since he had slept, and the fatigue was beginning to creep up on him.

KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK!

“Who is it?” Micah asked, as he slowly sat up in the bed.

“Londo,” the voice behind the bedroom door responded.

“Come in.”

Londo busted through the door. Sweat dripped down his face and he was panting like an old dog in the peak of summer. “They’re gone, boss.”

“Who’s gone?”

“Our people. Half of them left.”

Micah popped up, out of the bed. “What the hell you mean they left.”

“Big Bill just came to me this morning after no one showed up to back him up on the morning security detail. That was Ricky’s job to do, so I went looking for him. When I checked the spot that they were staying in, I noticed Ricky was gone. Him and everyone else that was in the home. Then I checked other spots and it was the same thing. Half of our people are gone.”

“What the fuck,” Micah yelled. The drywall crumbled as his fist blasted through the wall. He followed up with a few more punched into the wall, before turning back to Londo. “Where the fuck did they go?”

“I don’t know but I think they went back home.”

“And why the hell would they do that?”

“Wolff.”

“Wolff? What about him?”

“I got into an argument with him last night and he said a few things that I didn’t like. Going home was one of them. I’m guessing the others followed him.”

“So, you knew they were all going to leave, and you didn’t it was important to tell me?”

“I didn’t think he was going to do it. He went on this rant about us chasing our tails and suggested I head back home with him. I told him that anyone who leaves will die. My message was clear.”

“And obviously the message wasn’t received.” Micah pushed pass Londo and headed into the hallway. He checked the other bedrooms before making his way downstairs and out the front door. A part of him wished he were dreaming, but unfortunately it was a harsh reality.
