Chapter Fifteen

Ryker

I was so sick of this shit. This was it. My last job. When my business cell rang at six o’clock in the morning, I didn’t want to answer it. I wanted to stay with Hattie. Fortunately for my asshole client, I never quit in the middle of a job before, and I refused to start now. It’d leave the possibility of another enemy, and God knows, after the fallout with Senator Deveron, I had one more enemy than I needed already.

I parked my car one block from the gym where Representative Houser exercised from six to seven thirty every weekday. His routine never varied, which benefited people like me. I always cautioned my clients against being too predictable. It gave bad actors openings to take advantage of you.

I grabbed the black baseball cap from the passenger seat and put it on, pulling the brim down low enough to disguise my features on any cameras. I walked around to the side of the building where Representative Houser exited the building. I didn’t understand why he didn’t use the front door, but I refused to question my luck.

Representative Houser opened the door, his head down staring at his phone. What a jackass. For someone over his head in backroom deals, he should pay more attention to his surroundings. Backroom deals had a way of going bad quickly, at least in my experience.

Before he turned the corner to the parking lot behind the building, I wrapped my arm around his neck from behind him, eliminating the possibility he’d get a good look at my face.

“What the hell?” he yelled, scratching my arm.

“Shut the hell up and listen.” I removed my gun from the holster under my coat and pressed it into the side of his head with my free arm.

“What do you want? My wallet is in my back pocket. Take it and leave me alone. I won’t call the police.”

“I don’t want your fucking wallet.”

He elbowed me in the side, and I rammed him face first into the brick wall. “Try that again, asshole, and you’ll have a lot of explaining to do when you show up at work tomorrow with a black and blue face.” I was tempted to do exactly as I threatened. He wouldn’t be the first member of Congress to make up a story to explain getting the shit beat out of him as a result of his double-dealing.

“Don’t do it. Don’t hurt me,” he said, sniffling like a fucking baby. “Just tell me what you want.”

A dark, bitter laugh escaped my mouth. “I’m definitely going to leave you with a few bruises, but if you cooperate, all of them won’t be on your face.”

“I’ll cooperate.”

“Then, why are you planning to vote for the cyber security bill tomorrow?”

He groaned. “Tell them I’m sorry, but I changed my mind. I can’t help your client. I’m getting too much pressure.”

I grinded my gun against the back of his head and tightened my arm around his throat. “It doesn’t work that way.
