Chapter Seven
Bane looked over at Shay.
Shay raised his hands up at him. “Not like we are gonna talk about your past, man. Even to my brother. That’s your business.”
Bane looked over at Drew and simply stated it, “I was a full-blown contract killer.”
“Wait...” Drew stared at him as recognition finally dawned. “As in Bane Jessin, the hitman?”
“Give this man a prize!” James laughed.
“Well, that explains it,” Drew concluded. “Coming in like dark silent death and delivering them all a dark silent death.”
“Wow, brother, that's almost poetic,” Shay said.
“I agree,” James concurred.
“You all act like blood and gore is acceptable,” Mountain commented.
Drew stared at him. “If they’d captured you and said they were going to end you. Spilling their blood and gore is damn well acceptable.”
Sam shrugged. “Yeah, when you go to war, there’s no playin’, ya know?”
“There has to be some rules of engagement,” Mountain argued.
“I think Bane’s rules are better.” Hound snickered.
“So do we know how many more Black Wolves are still out there?” Sam asked.
Bane shrugged. “There could be anywhere between 25 to 50 left. We never did get a total number of those that got caught in the cross over.”
“Then if they tracked me to this address, we have to be ready for anything,” Drew pointed out.
Bane silently went over to another monitor and turned it on. Then he growled and snapped his head up to ask James, “How many heat signatures are at the cabin?”
James brought up the cabin cameras on the security screens. “Too fucking many. They’re inside already.”
“I can see that,” Bane grumbled. “Damnit, I really liked that cabin too.”
“So what are you going to do?” Shay asked him.
Bane shrugged. “First, I’m gonna make them wish that they’d never been born. Then make them sorry that they ever followed Drew’s signature.” He turned back to his screen showing the cabin then tapped a button on his keyboard.
“Well shit, I cannot wait to see what you do,” Hound told him.
Now they all saw the men inside the cabin rushing toward the front door. One of them tried to open it but couldn’t. Then a slab of steel came down and covered all the windows. The lights went out and the room glowed red as the emergency lights came on.
Then Bane reached out and tapped in more commands.
James studied the screen and noted, “The men outside can’t get in either.”
Bane shook his head. “They never should have followed that tracker. Now they will all die.” He tapped the enter key.
Everyone in that room froze as the screens all went dead at the same time.
Then an explosion boomed in the not so far distance.
James searched his screen and found nothing on it showing the interior of the cabin. He slowly turned to stare at Bane. “What did you do?”
Bane raised his hands and spread his finger out then he said, “Boom as my brother Orriun likes to say. They are now minus twenty-one Black Wolves.” Shaking his head he added, “But damn, I really did like that cabin.”
The men in the room all shook their heads.
He looked around and asked, “What? You want ‘em back or what?”
“No, no,” Pappy said as he sat down in a chair while holding a cane that helped him to get around with his leg injury.
Shay agreed, “Good riddance.
“You guys can watch the cameras,” Bane said. “I think it’s time to have a little talk with Spencer and his brother.”
Shay stood from his chair and asked, “Want some company?”
Bane nodded, then shrugged. “Since you are opting to be seen by these guys I am guessing you have someone else to take over the case?”
Shay nodded. “Since they took a family member of mine that exempts me from the case.” He motioned to Drew.
Bane shrugged. “I say just use a few Heftys and be done with it.”
James laughed.
Everyone looked over at him.
He looked a bit sheepish and smirked. “Don’t ask about the Heftys. You will regret it.”
Shay snorted.
Drew stared at Bane to ask, “Can I come too?”
Bane grunted then moved toward the door. “I hope you aren’t squeamish.”
“Nah, after my stay at the Bloody Wolves Hotel...I think not.”
Bane snorted now. “I like you.”
Drew raised his brows and glanced at his twin.
Shay slowly shook his head as if to say, do not engage.
The three of them walked down the hall.
Bane stopped at one of the doors. He removed a key from his pocket. Then he tapped numbers into the wall pad and used the key to open the door.
The three men went in.
Spencer was chained to the wall and started yelling the moment Bane walked into the room. “What did you do?” he snarled. “I heard explosions. Where are my men?”
Bane shut the door behind him. He leaned against it and crossed his arms over his chest to stare at Spencer. “Your men did try. I will give them that, but they got sloppy and didn’t listen to words of warning. So they went boom.”
Spencer froze then began ranting, “You butcher, you God damn assassin. You killed good men!”
Bane snorted. “There’s a difference between good and very bad. They were stone cold killers.”
“You should know, you’re one too.” Spencer growled as he struggled to get free.
“I am but I switched sides. I used to get paid by people like you...” He raised his chain up at him.
“Now I kill people like you and the kicker is... I don’t get paid for it.
I do this shit for free, man. I feel that it is my sacred duty.
Ya know? But there’s nothing sacred about you and those Blood Wolves is there?
And apparently, they don’t know that you can’t pay them anymore.
” Bane shrugged. “So they came here to die. I did try to warn them but they didn’t listen, so don’t whine at me like a sissy boy. ”
Spencer just glared at him then he spat on the floor almost at Bane’s feet.
Drew took a deep breath as he and his twin Shay waited for the backlash from Bane.
