Chapter Nine
Shay nodded as he agreed. “I’ll tell my people to start with the boats and the planes headed south.
And her age as we do not have a description that will match.
It gives us a starting point.” Shay’s phone pinged again and he read the text then looked up.
“My men are outside and they just told me they captured a few of the Blood Wolves. They said there was a short battle but they knew what they were doing and they left a few Wolves dead but they got the ones that were in the area.”
Bane nodded.
Sam shook his head and said, “We didn’t hear any shooting, why didn’t we hear nothing?”
Bane raised his hand and motioned at the room. “When we’re locked down it’s like the world outside is blocked out. We would have had to be looking at the screens to see anything. But we would never hear anything. That’s just how this works.” He looked over at Shay. “Where are your men?”
“They are standing at the gate,” Shay told him.
Bane went back to the security room and looked at the front gate. His eyes narrowed as he carefully searched the men standing there.
On crutches, Shay came in and stood next to Bane. He looked at the men standing there at the gate. Then he reached out to pat Bane’s shoulder. “I don’t know who they are but they aren’t mine.”
Bane’s eyes narrowed as he took another look at the men outside.
One of them moved just enough for Bane to see his wrist and he growled.
“Those are literally Wolves in sheep’s clothing.
They must have found no other way in and thought we would be stupid enough to just open the door if they claimed they were your men.
” He growled again, “God, I hate liars and I despise stupid liars even more.” He reached out and flipped another switch.
Suddenly, the men outside by the gate froze.
Shay stared at the screen. “What the hell did you just do?”
Bane didn’t reply to Shay but he did open an intercom.
“Gentlemen, I wouldn’t move if I were you.
You are standing on a platform that will blow up if any one of you moves in the slightest. You almost got inside but the Wolf tattoo on your wrists gave the lot of you away.
I’m surprised you’re still around. I thought you only stood by a man when you got paid?
Spencer Wagner no longer has a cent to his name.
The government froze his bank accounts and the government found his spare cash as well.
That man can’t even buy a pack of gum now.
And I know you boys won’t risk your lives for a few bucks. ”
“And you’re a fucking liar,” one of the men shouted.
“Am I?” Bane scoffed. “The first thing you’re supposed to do is a background check on the man who hired you to keep him safe.
If you knew anything about Spencer Wagner, you would know he’s always prepared.
For a man with no scruples, it only makes sense to have cash on hand where no one can find it.
Then when he has an enemy like me? I made sure that cash was raided. ”
“Just who the hell are you anyway?” another Wolf called out.”
Bane leaned into the mic and said, “My name is Bane...Bane Jessin and it is my property you are currently trespassing on.”
Shay and Bane watched the screen carefully.
Each of the men outside seemed to recall the name.
With a gasp, one of them reacted and took a step back.
Suddenly, a look of horror passed over the rest of their faces. Then a few seconds later a huge explosion occurred and a loud blast rippled out as Bane’s threat became very real.
The explosion shook the house. There were no sounds of breaking glass but they could all hear the debris rain down on the steel roof.
When everything settled, Shay and Bane stared at the screens.
The front door camera went black but Bane tapped the PC keyboard and found one still going.
It was in the trees. It showed a deep hole and the front gate was on the ground.
Its metal rungs were twisted and half buried.
Debris and dirt still drifted around in the air but there was no sign of any men other than a mess of blood saturating the ground.
Bane just shook his head. “Well, that’s going to be expensive to replace.”
Shay just turned his head and stared at Bane.
“Yes, but I imagine that won’t bother you much.
And I would feel bad but they aren’t going to be missed.
They wouldn’t have shown us any mercy had they gotten inside.
They will all face God or maybe Satan now.
But I hope that’s the last of the Blood Wolves we ever see. ”
Bane shook his head. “No Shay. I hate to say it but that isn’t the last of them, there are always more just as bad out there. I have kept an eye on them and there might be about fifty Woves left. Now we’re down to one criminal still missing. Miranda Gayner. She’s the last one we have to find.”
Shay nodded. “And she may be the worst of them. If ever there was a black widow of an original sin, it would be her.”
“Oh, by the way.” Bane looked up at him and asked, “Who texted you about them being captured? Because whoever did that is either a traitor or they’ve been captured by the Blood Wolves.”
Shay went pale at this question as it hadn’t occurred to him yet. He then stated softly with worry in his eyes, “My brother Drew.”
