My Pulse

Chapter 19: Cian O'Shea

My entire team has already touched down so far undetected in Belfast. This is O'Connor's territory and it won't be long until someone spots us and notifies him.

"We have to move quickly." I yell as my team pulls up just outside their compound.

"We are going to wait for the team at the South end to set off the bomb and then we will start scaling the wall." Kieran says stiffly.

"Then the moment we breach the walls we will try to quietly kill anyone who discovers us until we get inside." He adds briskly.

"I bet he is keeping Quinn in one of the rooms he has upstairs because he will want her close." I say to my team. They all nod.

"So we clear our way upstairs and go through the bedrooms one by one." Rylee clarifies. Quill nods.

Then we hear it. The unmistakable sound of an explosion.

My heart leaps into my chest but I am ultra focused today. Revenge and Quinn's safety is filling my mind so completely my subconscious doesn't have time to react to the bomb. My team and I take off running for the wall. We all know we're at our most vulnerable while scaling the wall. The quicker we get over the better.

We barely make it over before hearing the shouts and gunfire. My feet hit the ground and I grab for the semi automatic around my head, point, and open fire. My teammates doing the same, we easily gun down the 4 guards before they can shoot one of us.

The kick back of the semi automatic is such a specific sound that I know Grady will hear it. The risk is if he thinks he'll lose Grady will kill Quinn. I don't hear the chaos which means we haven't been discovered yet. It won't be long now though.

We just have to get inside and find Grady. Once we have him it's over. My men follow behind me as we walk around the side of the wall keeping an eye out for movement. The main house is right around the corner up here and I am surprised the security isn't better. It must be because of our bomb. By the time they get back over here it will be too late I think with a devilish smile.

Then I hear it, all hell breaking loose. "Fuck!" Kieran shouts and we run to get into the residence with our pistols drawn and the semi automatic slung over my chest. My men bust into the main residence and quickly shoot two men.

They are no match for us and our speed. We have surprised them and are closing in. I raise my gun in front of me ready as I head up the stairs. A blur of wild motion catches my eye, and I try to sidestep a man that is rushing me. The man and I  collide hard knocking us both back down the unforgiving hardwood stairs.

The struggle is rushed and violent, when our eyes suddenly meet his narrowing in recognition- its fucking Grady!

Grady's fist crashes into my upper jaw and I knee him in the solar plexus. I pummel my fist into his nose and feel it break openwith the distinctive crack. He howls and kicks back catching me off guard. Covered in blood and dripping with revenge, hate explodes in my heart.

I'm ready to fucking end this.

My men must just be securing the area letting me fight it out with him as I told them I wanted. He will fucking die at my hands or I will capture him alive to play with him for a while. Either way the monster he unleashed inside me won't be satisfied until he has Grady's head.

We stare at eachother in a hostile standoff. "I thought you were dead," he spits out.

Stepping toward him with a deadly smirk, "I guess your bombs just don't work on me."

When my smirk turns into a bloody grina his annoyed expression he lunges for me. Grady is fighting like his life depends on it and it does.

He knows it's over. I can see it in his eyes. It is fucking glorious. I jump back and he misses me throwing him off guard and that's when I strike.

I kick out his legs and jump on him slamming  the back of his head down. Seeing his eyes boggle, I fucking pummel him over and over until his face is unrecognizable.
