"Kiro doesn’t use anymore I told you that" Which was true He’d cleaned up and started spending all his time with his wife, Harlow’s mother, as coe caused by a car accident years ago

Franco laughed, throwing his head back as if I were hilarious I waited until his insane laughter ended "I’ anymore Haven’t you noticed that?"

Franco leaned closer to ive a fuck I want you to introduce , Nanette"

"No," I replied, without thinking through hoould react to my refusal

His hand wrapped around ainst his body until his face was in mine "Yes, you will, or I’ll take you inside this house and slice off one long, pretty finger at a time while you scream and bleed all over the expensive floors When you finally have had enough, I’ll get it frole bullet Right"--he placed his er on the spot between le bullet through the back of yourhead" Major’s voice came from nowhere, and for a briefall this The vo more unbelievable by the lared down at me as if this was my fault I was as confused as he was Major wasn’t supposed to be here He’d run off and left town ood-bye Not that I’d expected one I hadn’t left things with hiood terms

Franco moved, and I screamed as a shot was fired, just before Franco cursed and turned away from me to face Major

Major

Franco’s gun fell to the ground as he grabbed his bleeding hand I was a sure shot If I wasn’t, I’d never have fired that close to Nan Knowing he was about to press a gun against Nan had been the only warning I needed to stop his ass I wasn’t waiting for a better ti he didn’t need his bodyguard and a posse of firear iving up that easily I’d gotten a lead on Franco once he entered the States, and I kneould be headed this way So I waited This was h

Franco shoved Nan back one-handed, with enough force to cause her to fall That pissed me off She hadn’t done shit to this coldhearted bastard So when he turned to face me, I aimed at his shoulder I didn’t want to kill hi death in pain with the several bullet holes I placed in hiirls and sold their bodies to the highest bidder He deserved a painful death for what he’d done

"What the fuck?" he roared as he faced ht shoulder, and he cursed and fell back on his ass from the impact

"OHMYGOD!" Nan screamed as she scraave her a nod to assure her before shifting round He’d reach for his phone soon, and I needed tofor Franco Not today

Walking slowly toward hi hand and rolled back and forth in pain It was entertaining to watch I never thought of myself as a cruel, hard man, but when faced with so out the punishht when he’d said I was cut out for this

"You OK, Nan?" I called out, keeping my eyes locked on Franco as I approached hinot to kill this bastard until they coet him," I replied calmly Franco stared up at me with a mix of pain and hatred in his eyes "But I’ll kill hiet hierous one You don’t knohat you’ve just walked into"

So she did know Interesting Nan had known about Franco, yet she’d fooled both Cope andI’d never have guessed she had any idea who Franco actually was

"You fooled us, Nan Kudos," I said in all honesty "Now, get your phone and call Cope, sweetheart Tell hi, and I realized my mistake

"My bad Gannon Call Gannon," I replied "He still has the phone you have the number to I’d bet my left nut on it"

Nan didn’tat me, and I wondered why she didn’t already know all this I had left her the damn note Why was she so confused?

"The cameras, Nan The note I left you About Cope I mean Gannon Shit, Nan, just call hiain, and I’d rather he not bleed out until Cope gets here"

Franco htly, and I aimed at his knee and shot, just because I wanted to hear him scream Nan screahbors would unshots, thanks to the sounds of the Gulf, but I wasn’t sure for how long Eventually, so to hear the coet her phone--I hoped If she called the police, this was going to be harder to explain Cope would be pissed, too I reached into my pocket and pulled out my own phone I’d better handle it Every number I had for any of them was now disconnected Except, of course, Captain’s I had a feeling Captain was the only reason they’d let one to Mexico and no one came after me, I kneas all thanks to Captain
