“Shit,” Ryland kicked a box in anger. “No matter. The boss will find a way to finish him off.” He pointed at Tate. “He’ll be upset if I take you out, Mr. Mills. Very upset indeed.

He drew his hand back and slapped me across the face. My head jerked to the right, and blood flew from my mouth as my cheek was cut open on my teeth. I slumped to the ground, dizzy with pain. Ryland stood over me, opening his mouth to say something else, but the quiet of…

He shook his head. “I flew over and it looked like they all came to and got the hell out of dodge.” Blayne said. “Even if not, some people are too dangerous to be left alive.” I nodded at Tate. He clicked the button on top of the box. A half-second later, the night was…
