She shakes her head vigorously, making her double chin wobble. “Don’t hurt him, please,” she whispers as I turn around to leave.
“Hurt him?” I laugh and stop in my tracks. “Oh, I’m going to do more than hurt him. I’m going to sever his head and send it to you in a box. Maybe I’ll even cut off his puny dick, so you have something to remember him by on the lonely nights.”
Sobs wrack her body as she falls to her knees and crawls in front of me. “Please, no! Please!” she begs at my feet with her hands folded in front of her.
I look at Ace over my shoulder. “Give me your gun.”
He raises an eyebrow but gives in to my demand, handing over his Glock. I place the barrel to her head and pull the hammer back. “You’re a sorry excuse for a mother and an even sorrier excuse of a human.”
I pull the trigger before she can say anything else, happy to finally silence her annoying cries.
When I turn back around, Ace is staring at me with pride in his eyes as he reaches for his gun. “Never thought I’d see the day you would use a gun.”
I push past him and start back to the car. “There was no time for torture or relishing in her death. I need to get my woman.”
By the time I make it back to the car, he’s right behind me, sliding in and starting toward the address the cunt gave us.
The entire drive drags. County Road Nine is less than thirty minutes from where we were, but it feels like a fucking lifetime. All I can think about is what he’s doing to her. Are his dirty hands on her body? Is he hurting her? I answer yes to both because I saw what he’s capable of, and that only sends me into all the ways I’m going to hurt him. How I’m going to fucking kill him.
“Go faster, Ace!” I yell, getting more pissed off for every second longer it takes to get me to her.
“I’m going. When we get there, make that motherfucker wish he was never born. I don’t care what it takes to clean up or how much it takes to keep shit quiet. You just do what needs to be done.”
I nod and crack my knuckles, getting ready to unleash all hell as we pass the mile marker letting us know we’re almost there.
