Chapter Eight
Back at the Hotel...
Nicky looked up at them when they entered the security room.“I hope that went well?”He looked over at Serenity.
She smiled and went over to hug him.“It did.”
He studied her face.“Are you tired?I think maybe you should take a nap.”
She sighed and opened her mouth to argue.
He pressed his fingers to her lips.“The battle won’t start yet and you will have plenty of time to funnel her money out, babe.”Nicky could see it would be up to her.He had never forced her to do anything since the day he met her.Looking over at Sergi, he said, “Seems this LaDonna woman has men from the Shadows of Hell MC working for her.I suppose they hired on after the Rinc brothers were dead.”
“I thought she didn’t want anything to do with them?”Pride asked.
“Having their men seems to fit her needs,” Nicky said.
“It might make her feel good too,” Candyman concluded.“Knowing she has her brother’s men.Must feel like a victory.”
“I can only imagine how superior she has felt.”Sergi growled.“She has been blackmailing some dangerous men.Collecting money under our name for a decade.”
“She made plenty too,” Serenity commented.“I’m not done counting it all yet.”
“We got some satellite photos of her place and it is built like a compound,” Nicky told them.
“Yeah, it would be,” Sergi scoffed in disgust.“We have found her and now it is time to plan how to take them down.”
Pride growled as he looked eager.“Me and my men can go with you all and fight next to you.”
Yuri placed his hands behind his back and explained as best as he could, “Mr.Pride, we already have teams on their way to her compound.There is no reason to risk your men.”
“And how do you know that your men will succeed?”Pride asked as he crossed his arms over his chest.
“Because they are trained to operate without even being seen,” a voice answered.
At the voice, Pride turned to look at the doorway.
A tall, wide shouldered man came into the room.He had short jet black hair and a hard planed face.His eyes were the color of blue ice.“My team does this type of thing, nearly every week.This is their job.”
Pride stared at him.“I met you before, right?”He then looked over at Kirill.
Krill gave him a firm nod.
“When we had to bring in those evil Rinc brothers, yes,” Viktor replied.
“Viktor’s men are an extension of the Bratva,” Sergi told Pride.“Our legion in arms, you might call them.Since this woman and her men threatened our place in New Orleans, we will utilize all our resources.Which are vast and deadly, I might add.”
“Well damn, I was hoping to get in on the fight.”Pride sighed.
Pride’s men all nodded in agreement.
Kirill shook his head at him.
“What?”Pride griped.“Come on, don’t tell me that isn’t part of why you love your job?”
Kirill looked at him then glanced at his two brothers, Kosta and Felix.
They grinned at him.
