Warehouse District – Derelict Building 10:00 p.m.
“Call the old bitch!” Brogan yelled again, losing his cool.
“Go to hell!” Blood sprayed out with the force of Dan’s response, splattering Brogan’s shirt and dribbling down Dan’s chin.
“Brogan, this isn’t working.” Al delivered another blow to dickhead’s stomach to punctuate his meaning. The damned rookie barely even groaned as he hit the ground for the umpteenth time.
Frustrated and furious, Brogan waddled to the opposite side of the defunct warehouse. He needed another new plan. Livid the little shit ratted them out to IA, they now required a lot of money fast to leave the country, or they would be facing prison. Dame Ridgewater would be their ticket, but they needed her here. The ratfink refused to make the call, nor was her number programmed in his phone.
Slowing his breaths, glad for the reprieve from the strikes, Dan lay still, hoping Fulco and Arbor would find him soon. They supposedly put me under protective surveillance, but as of yet, nobody is coming to pull my ass from the fire. Par for the course. Only Bella and Wilson care enough about me to come to my aid, but they have no idea I’m in trouble.
The only smart thing he had done in this whole debacle was to wipe all personal contacts from his cell and delete his text and call history. He would never lure the woman who he thought of as his mother here, and would gladly die to protect Bella from these evil bastards.
Hatred grew as he glared at the four men who broke their oaths and preyed on the weakest members of society. Worry and guilt also jockeyed for dominance. Bella is now at risk because of me. I should’ve called Wilson when this all started and clued him in then he would be able to keep her safe from harm.
Wishing like hell he had declined tonight, Dan shifted a little on the ground trying to relieve the pressure on his sore ribs. Hard to do with his hands bound behind him with zip ties. I went to Snow’s place like a lamb to a slaughterhouse. I’m such an idiot. I should’ve suspected they might dope me. More examples of why I will never measure up to the general’s expectations.
When Dan initially woke from his drug-induced nap, he found himself trussed up in the same manner as the Cravens, minus a gag. He deduced yelling wouldn’t draw attention, and unfortunately, his logic proved correct. Brogan commenced beating him as soon as he lifted his eyelids and they continued for a long time, each taking a turn. Although unsure what Snow’s full plan entailed, he gleaned the most relevant items. One, Snow wanted to ransom Bella to finance their escape. Two, they would ensure he experienced a full-measure of agony for informing IA of their criminal activities. Three, they didn’t plan on him leaving here alive … that was for damned sure.
“Brodickhead, why the fuck would you work
