“Wantthe question, the h force to knock the air fros and then, so Levi wouldn’t feel left out, landed a right hook to his jaw “I don’t knoho this one dued Levi, “was supposed to be one of us I’ll enjoy doing both of ‘em, but he’ll suffer the most”
The Doctor, dressed smartly in his expensive Italian suit, paced back and forth in front of Levi and Clay His hands were tucked behind his back like he was addressing a patient or Board of Directors…not a worry in the fucking world His steps were casual A slight grin curved hisabout the man that looked like he’d been born with it
“No, no, Austin,” the Doctor said “Let’s learn a bitthem” He pointed toward Levi “This one, I feel confident, is a fed” He sidled up to Clay—close…but not close enough “If I’m not mistaken, this one is a hired merc” He stroked his perfectly shaped chin “Now, the question to answer is ould a fed and a ether? I’d always heard feds were snobs and mercs were team-oriented, but only worked with their personal team What a conundrum we have” The Doctor kept his eyes on Clay but addressed Austin when he said, “Have your er man and his brothers” He turned his attention to Levi and a slow smile spread across his face “The whore that worked the brothel—a friend of the fed if I’ht now”
“I’ll fucking rip you to shreds if you lay a hand on him or his brothers,” Levi threatened “You’re already a dead o much slower if you fuck with me or mine”
The Doctor laughed “You are a , you or your merc aren’t in any position to estions As always, I hold all the cards” He turned to Austin “Go Make sure Hollister and his brothers are taken care of, as well I have a few errands Make sure they are all here by the ti me the blind man If I’m not mistaken, both these boys are ss but want to come to my own conclusion as to whether he lives or dies If he lives, he’ll re…even if practically worthless with his blindness”
Clay growled and wrestled against the chains holding him captive He sure the fuck didn’t think that Indi was helpless but didn’t want to take any chances with the man he loved
Fuck
He thought it…out loud in his head
He was in love with Indigo Banks A man Clay’s man
Clay leveled his eyes on the Doctor “You will be o after Judas”
“A, aren’t the two of you just so fucking cute trying to take care of your men? Maybe, just maybe, you all shouldn’t have suckered theuy! You must not really care for him at all, Mr Merc”
Clay laughed It was an evil laugh but laced with pride “Oh, I care for him,” Clay remarked “It isn’t him I’oing to send over to try and pick up Hollister and Judas”
It was the Doctor’s turn to laugh “Hollister is pretty to look at, but he certainly is hter I’ them in, as you say”
“Hollister isn’t the one you need to worry about, you duuy His nahty different ways to kill you and your ive up your boss’s naets hurt Work a deal with Levi Maybe he’ll be in a jolly et you into witness protection”
The Doctor growled in anger and frustration; He wasn’t used to people not quivering with fear in front of hier, he walked over to where Clay and Levi dangled in the air, locked in their hell with sturdy chains He ripped a piece of Clay’s shirt off and then did the sa the all of them to me here Use the cuts from their shirts as proof we have thely Once they are here, I’rown men cry”
