Sneak Peek (chapt 26)
Something was wrong with the guy.
The thought ran across my mind for about the fourth time that day. Adrian Corsetti, the guy we were stuck with instead of Carson simply because our men were dumb enough to grab the wrong guy.
I had drilled them over and over again on Carson’s appearance; his skin tone all the way down to his shoe size and they still managed to nab the wrong guy. Their ineptitude was beyond me. Next time it would be wise to get my hands on a photo of the target. I could only pray there would never come a next time and it would all end here.
My wife was, unfortunately just like her deceased father. I’d hated the man with every breath I took, it was a wonder I’d come to love his offspring and now here I was carrying out her revenge scheme like the doting husband that I was.
Grab Carson, end his life, then take over his pack. It had all sounded so simple in the beginning but as we’d followed through with it? not so much. Carson’s pack, as expected, had been unyielding but despite our preparation and even with the inside help it had been a tough one and now we were stuck with one of the most ruthless drug lord’s in the UK.
Just my luck.
I looked over at him again from where I sat as far away from the cage as I could get. He was sitting crossed legged in his cramped space, looking as at home as ever. His nonchalance made me just a little uncomfortable and I found myself biting the inside of my lip as I watched him.
“Isn’t this the part where you tell me your diabolical plan and laugh maniacally in my face at your success?” he spoke up.
His voice smooth and sure in the silence of the room and the smile he threw me was tinged with amusement.
I gritted my teeth and took a deep breath. “This isn’t some poorly produced action movie, so just sit there and shut up.” I told him and the man didn’t even bristle.
Instead he looked up at me, tilting his head to the side slightly as if pondering my words. I hated him for his confidence. It made me feel less in control of a situation I was to have full control of.
“Judging from your annoyance and obvious frustration I’d say I wasn’t the guy you were aiming for.” He said and I fought hard to ignore him.
I should have instructed the guys to tape his mouth shut before they’d thrown him in.
“It’s a bit pathetic though, don’t you think? you have one primary objective and you’ve gone and fucked that up. Who planned this anyway?” he continued, even going as far as to chuckle in the face of my discomfort.
“And don’t you think it’s a bit pathetic that a supposed big shot like yourself was nabbed by a couple of inept guys and locked in a cage like a dog?” I shot back, feeling proud of my comeback. His next words ripped the smile from my face.
“So you admit that you are all a bunch of inept, blubbering fools? It took three of you to take me down. Three people for one man? You must be a very proud captor.” He said; the sarcasm dripping from his voice and I fought the urge to reach into his cage and beat the shit out of him.
“Shut the fuck up before I find an even smaller cage to stuff you in.” I ordered.
That’s when I finally got a reaction out of the guy. The smile that had previously graced his face turned into a thin line. His eyes tightened and narrowed and before long I was staring into his murderous eyes.
“You shouldn’t have fucked up; I don’t have time to sit here wasting my breath on a boy who couldn’t even orchestrate the preparation of his own meal.” He said menacingly.
“Either you make yourself useful and let me out of this sad excuse for a cell or you get the fuck out of my sight so I can enjoy the rest of my brief stay here.” He finished, then exhaled and leaned back against the wall; his expression shifting back to mildly amused and I glared at him imagining the moment I could rip his eyes from his cheeky little head.
