“If you tellundetected, I’ll end your suffering quickly,” Smitty offers

Lathan’s nostrils flare, and his jaw tics “Nice offer I’ll pass—”

I blow a hole through his knee, the barrel ofas he wails in pain Pulling un back, I stare at him expectantly

He puffs out a couple of breaths like he’s breathing through the pain, his hands cuffed behind his back as he res stretched out in front of him

“How did he get her out of the building?” Srowls

Lathan grins, eyes jaded and hollow “You’re old, Smitty You know you don’t keep up with the ti”

I shoot a hole in his other knee, hearing him roar out his pain as his eyes roll back in his head When he falls backwards, I stand over him, and in quick succession, put two bullets in his forehead

“Doesn’tback with you It’s fucking clear to me that I can keep her safer”

His eyes narrow to slits “You alot her blown up”

“You let her get kidnapped and didn’t find her for two days Who fucking knohat has happened to her by now?!” I shout, getting right in front of him
