FIVE

Leon slammed the phone down, causing the plastic casing on the handset to crack. Bojo was dead. Murdered. Though he was still breathing, he was dead for all of that, it was only a matter of time.

Shit!

Leon looked down at his fists; they were shaking violently. He wasn’t sure if it was because of the financial losses or the fact that Brown had been butchered in his own apartment and no one heard a thing. Not only that, the stupid bastard had brought home one of the girls. How could he have been so stupid?

This was now looking like a takeover. One of his men on the inside reported that the top of Bojo’s skull was cut open like a freaking can of soup. Bojo’s fingers were into chunks, then his hands removed. Then all of his long bones broken and shattered and the man had lived through it all! His man said that there were things embedded into Bojo’s exposed brain. What kind of people did these things?

Leon shuddered. Bojo was now in intensive care and wasn’t expected to live. His sources would keep him apprised of Bojo and the investigation. It had taken Leon over a decade to set in place the cutouts to move and sift out information, leaving an extensive gap between himself and the dirty goings on. He needed to be kept clean from all that shit. It was essential that he maintain his sterling façade.

Thinking of Bojo sent a shiver down his spine. The man’s eyes, tongue, and ears were removed as well.

Dammit!

Bojo was reported by his own phone. Someone had used his burner phone as well. Leon reached into his drawer and took out the burner phone and destroyed it. He took the SIM card and destroyed it as well, then threw it into the trash.

He gritted his teeth at the thought of Bojo’s junk being removed, shoved into the man’s mouth. It was a wonder that Bojo had not bled to death.

Shit! Shit! Shit!

Leon gagged and swallowed hard. He reached for the crystal carafe and poured water. He gulped it down, pushing the mental images away.

His source said that the girl was tied up and left on Bojo’s bed, unharmed. Why had she been left? Did the perpetrator not realize there was someone else there? Why hadn’t she been killed or taken? Had the girl seen the killer or killers? There were so many questions and seemingly no answers and it wasn’t a place that Leon liked to be in. He had his fingers on the pulse of Charlotte.

Whoever was trying to take over wasn’t playing around. They knew about the bar and restaurant, but how? Had Brown been sloppy in the paperwork? Did they torture him for information before they pin cushioned his brain? Leon was sure he’d be hearing from Detective Down soon. He hoped for his sake that the place was insured.

“Fuck!” he snarled in a low, desperate voice and pounded his fists on his thighs. Could Bojo have
