Jared took two steps to stand in front of him. “No.” He kneeled down getting in his face. “I will keep you alive, and every day, I will make you suffer in ways unimaginable.”
“You can’t do that,” Jeff snorted, doubt flashing through his eyes. “I have rights. And you have to follow the law.”
Jared stood back up. “Damon, did you see that Jeff kid anywhere near Tessa’s?”
“No, sure didn’t,” Damon replied, looking bored as hell. “I don’t think he was involved. Last I heard, he met some girl and took off to start a family. Nice kid.”
“How about you, Slade? You seen Jeff?” Jared stared down at Jeff, his voice not matching the anger on his face. “We sure could use him around here. He was a great asset.”
“I think Damon’s right. Last I heard, he went to Florida or was it California?” Slade didn’t even look away from working on Jill. “I got some connections in California; I can make some calls and see if we can talk him into coming back.”
“But you’re a doctor,” Jeff shouted, terror evident on his face. “You can’t do that.”
Slade didn’t answer him.
Jeff’s eyes shot to Jill’s. “This is all your fucking fault. I swear I’ll make you pay, bitch.” He pointed his finger at her. “You’re all lying.”
“Yes, we are, and very well I might add,” Jared growled. Sid walked in without Adam. “Hey Sid, you seen that kid Jeff?”
Sid stopped and thought for a minute. “Nope, as a matter of fact I haven’t.” Sid’s eyes swung to Jeff. “Last I heard, he up and married some ugly-ass chick he knocked up after a heavy night of drinking. Heard they moved out west to raise them a litter of rug rats. Think he took up ranching since the little lady didn’t want him being a Warrior. You know with all the danger and killing. Sure hope he sends a Christmas card this year.”
“I fucking hate you,” Jeff spat, his eyes narrowed. “I hate you all. And will make you all pay.”
“Shut up, you little bitch.” Sid glared at him. “You know, I’ve been so fucking bored lately I think I might pay Jared so I can torture your ass. That’s the plan, isn’t it?” He asked Jared, but looked directly at Jeff, his eyes unwavering.
“You can have a few days no charge. I’ll need a few days rest,” Jared replied, heading toward the door. “Sloan’s here. Let’s go.”
Jeff’s eyes landed on Jill, who even though in pain, had a knowing half grin on her face. “You think this is funny, cunt?” Jeff growled. “Next time I will shoot you in the fucking head.”
Before anyone could stop him, Slade was up, his gun already pulled from the waistband of his jeans. Picking Jeff up, like he was nothing but a child, he placed the barrel of the gun against his forehead. “You just don’t know when to stop do you, Badass?” He removed the barrel from Jeff’s forehead and jammed it under his chin sneering into his face. “If I ever hear you threaten her again, I will blow your fucking brains out. I don’t care what information they think they can get out of you. I won’t torture, but I will kill you, and remember I’m a doctor. I know how to do it painfully.”
Jeff didn’t say a word, but he did piss himself.
Slade tossed him to the floor then walked back to Jill. Everyone just stood watching Slade walk away. “I’m impressed.” Sid’s eyebrows rose, looking back at Jeff who lay on the floor moaning. “Anyone who can make someone piss themselves that quick is okay in my book.”
Sloan walked in looking around. “Where is the little fucker?” His eyes found Jeff on the floor.
“I want him alive.” Jared walked out the door with Sid and Damon following.
“Watch yourself boss.” Sid nodded toward Jeff. “Slade literally scared the piss out of the bastard.”
“Shit!” Sloan walked over grabbing Jeff by the shirt, picking him up to his face level. “You really fucked up this time. Traitors are treated a lot differently from the other scum bastards we catch.”
Chapter 26
Pam was walking downstairs with Daniel when someone pounded on the front door. Duncan came out of the kitchen spotting her on the steps.
“Stay there,” he ordered as he made his way across the floor.
Nodding, Pam turned ready to run upstairs if she needed to. Hearing Nicole’s frantic voice, Pam made her way quickly down the rest of the steps.
Seeing Duncan and Nicole’s face, Pam stopped. “What’s wrong?”
“Kenny has Tessa.” Nicole’s voice sounded panicked. “Jeff is involved, and they sold Angelina, and…”
“Oh my God.” Pam felt light headed and quickly sat down for fear of falling with Daniel. “When?”
“Nicole, calm down,” Duncan ordered, grabbing his phone.
“Tonight. Jared got a text and…” Nicole took a deep breath. “Jared and the rest are on their way here now. Kenny wants to trade.”
“Trade?” Pam looked from Nicole to Duncan’s furious frown.
“You for her,” Nicole cursed. “You can’t do this, Pam. He will kill you.”
