Andrew rolled his shoulders, clicked his neck, then peered forward. “I’ve seen his images on his social, I’ll know pretty quickly.” He paused. Peered out for a second, then: “It’s him! Ninety percent sure.”
“That’ll do,” I snapped and nodded at Cillian. “Get him.”
Finn flanked his brother. Coiled like lethal cobras about to strike.
“Ready?” Andrew said to me.
“Too damn right I am.”
“Phil, you’re the muscle once we’ve got him, okay.”
“Sure thing.”
Leo Green’s footfalls tapped on the hard ground, getting louder by the second. When he was almost level with us, Andrew and I stepped in front of him, a wall of muscle and determination.
“What the fuck?” He came to an abrupt halt, his eyes widening as he took in our black outfits, bandanas, and sharp steely eyes. “Get out of my way.”
“Leo Green?” I asked.
“What’s it to you, fuck face?”
“Everything,” Andrew said. “Fucking everything.”
And then for Leo everything went black. Cillian had slammed the hood over his head and captured him in an arm lock.
“Get the hell off me. You don’t know who you are—”
“Shut the fuck up,” I said.
Finn delivered a kidney blow.
Leo doubled with a groan, right into Phil’s brawn. He scooped him close then quickly dragged him toward the barn.
Andrew and I checked about to make sure we hadn’t been seen abducting an asshole on his morning jog. We hadn’t.
That made life easier.
“Jesus Christ, I’ve got mates in high places who will…”
This time it was Cillian’s turn to deliver a brutal and accurate kidney blow.
He cried out, and that earned him a whack around the head from Phil as he heaved him over the uneven ground.
“Hurry up.” Andrew rushed to get to the barn, moving a few branches out of the way.
“It’s all good,” I said. “There’s no one here. We can spend all day with this cunt if we want to.”
“What? You bastards. Why? Get the hell off me.” Leo tried to spin around but found himself unceremoniously forced into the barn and plonked onto the chair.
Cillian and Finn set to winding him in place with the length of cable. Securing his legs, his torso, and his arms.
“What the fuck have I ever done to you assholes?” Leo shouted furiously.
“You haven’t done anything to us,” I said beside his ear. “But it doesn’t work like that, does it? You’ve done things to other people, awful things, evil things, to women who have never done anything against you. See now…get it? It’s your turn to be on the other side of the fucking hurt river.”
“Who the hell are you?”
“Your worst fucking nightmare.” I grabbed the top of the hood and wipped it off. “Say hi.”
