COLE
The tip came in through Ken.
He wasn’t told who took Addison. We already knew that. He was told where she was, and we didn’t hesitate. We were moving within the hour. I was in the weapons room when one of my men gave me the news I’d been expecting since Addison was taken. He coughed. “Sir, Carter Reed is at the door.”
I stopped, knife in hand, and looked at my soldier. He fidgeted in the doorway, and I knew he wanted to run. Right now I wasn’t the nice boss, the boss who joked around sometimes, the young boss everyone underestimated. I was the assassin the Bertals had created, the weapon Carter himself helped hone.
I was the f*****g head of the Mauricio family staring back at him.
“You’re new,” I said.
His eyes narrowed before he nodded. “Yes, sir.”
“You’ve killed before?”
Ano
