“No. You had an agreement with the previous president, not with me.”
“My bosses don’t see it that way.”
“Well, they better start to,” Rage says and slowly stands up, revealing that he wasn’t bound to the chair at all.
“What the fuck?” Daremo exclaims.
I pull my gun and point it at the bodyguard saying, “Nuh uh,” as he tries to reach for his weapon.
“What is this? You betrayed the Yakuza too? Y-you’re both dead!” Daremo accuses with a taut voice.
“He was already working with me before you approached him, and if I were you, I’d stop worrying about my wellbeing and start worrying about yourself.”
“I have ten men waiting outside. Even if you kill me, you are not leaving this place alive,” Daremo announces, but he is scared.
I think he’s shat his pants.
“You sure can count. No wonder you launder money for the Yakuzas. You are good with numbers,” Rage explains. “Me? I’m shitty with numbers. I can only count to five and backwards.” The president takes a step to Daremo. “Five.” He takes another step. “Four.”
“What?” Daremo asks, nervous as fuck.
“Three.” Rage continues to approach him. “Two.”
“What the hell is this?” he cries.
“One,” Rage says in Daremo’s face.
BOOM!
Guns being fired follow the explosion outside.
I forgot how Rage likes to blow shit up.
Rage laughs like a psychopath and says to his victim, “You were saying?”
Daremo turns around, looking at the bodyguard. “Do something, you fucking idiot!”
As soon as Daremo is done barking that order, Rage throws his knife directly at the bodyguard’s throat. He doesn’t miss.
“We are not done talking,” Rage announces roughly.
Daremo turns to face Rage, drops on one knee and cries, “Please, I don’t want to die.”
Rage scoffs, “Pathetic.”
With the bodyguard dead on the ground and Daremo begging for his life Rage gets distracted and presses a hand against his right ear.
It must be Sarah!
I’m not wearing my earpiece, but I know Sarah is in trouble because Rage’s face becomes frightened.
In that moment, Daremo pulls a Glock 42 from his ankle and yells, “Die!” pointing it at Rage.
BANG!
Silence.
Rage turns his gaze toward Daremo then onto me. “That fucking asshole.”
