Chapter Fourteen

“Get in,” I snap at Keegan and Marcus, raising my eyebrow when I notice Marcus isn’t using his cane. The SUV has already been gone over multiple times to make sure there’s not something like, oh you know…a fucking bomb. Still, Keegan’s nose is scrunched in disgust and Marcus looks ready to laugh. “Keegan, I swear to all that is holy right now, if you don’t get your damn ass in this vehicle…”

Huffing, Keegan slides into the front seat, putting Marcus behind him. “I want to point out my Camaro is a much better option.”

Side eyeing him as I drive out of the mansion’s driveway, I snort. “Sure. Too bad about those bloodstains.”

“What? Don’t you have cleaners?” Keegan’s horrified voice almost causes me to choke, because damn, it’s too easy to rile him up.

“About these soldiers. You have a plan for this? Or do I just get to go in and kill everyone possible?” I ignore his question, knowing it’ll drive him crazy.

“Lio, play nice. You know the garage would never let bloodstains stay in any vehicle—even Keegan’s.”

Sighing, I roll my eyes. “Whatever. Take away my fun. Still, you didn’t answer my question. What’s the game plan? Kill everyone? Are we leading them to their death? I probably should have picked some more toys if it’s mass murder—”

Marcus laughs hard enough that he starts to cough as he tries to regulate his breathing. When he finally calms down, he answers me. “No, not mass murder, per se. The ones who aren’t trainable, who would never meet Il Padrone’s standards…yeah, they won’t be leaving. Or if they do, they certainly can’t be in the Family. Those who can be trained, should be given an option. And the very few I trust, I believe should be presented with an opportunity.”

Groaning, I focus on the road instead of the pain that sounds like. “What numbers are we talking about here?”

“Since most of them are from Brendan’s entourage? We’ve already had major hits on our—the—men. We never really were able to seek out more soldiers on our own. I’d say you’re looking at maybe 20 or so who aren’t worth shit. Whether they live or not…It’s up to you. 10 maybe who could be trained if they have someone dedicated to it. I wasn’t able to offer that fully. And then probably 8, two of those specifically, who are very well trained. Now, do I know if they will all take the opportunities? Not a fucking clue. Especially as there are some Italians in there.”

“Oh fuck,” I mutter. This is not going to go well. “There is no way any of the former Martelli soldiers can join again. That’s not happening.”

Neither Keegan nor Marcus say anything, and I grip the steering wheel tighter, letting off the gas a bit in order to have time to run through more scenarios. Huffing, Keegan joins in the conversation. “Look. We’ve got them coming in waves. First wave are the ones Marcus highly suggests keeping. Second wave are purely possibilities.
