THIRTY-SIX
MOLE
I’ve got things well under control.
I calmly call Dmitri, who picks up on the second ring. “Is it done?” he asks, no inflection in his tone.
“Not yet,” I say, wincing slightly. “I got off a shot today but she moved at the last second.”
“I heard there was a shooting at the garage,” Dmitri replies. “A risk you should not have taken. Anyone could have seen you.”
“I was careful and I used the jammers,” I assure him. “I know those buildings like the back of my hand, and there was no way they would have caught me.”
“Arrogance is the downfall of a stupid man,” Dmitri hisses in my ear, his anger starting to leak through. “I want her dead, and you will do it without arousing suspicion.”
“Yes, sir,” I say obediently, even as my fist clenches at my side. I want to yell at him that I won’t be taking orders from him much longer, but I know better. Showing my hand too early will result in me being chopped up into tiny little pieces by Dmitri’s goons. No, I need to be careful.
“You have forty-eight hours. I expect it to be done.”
“I’ll get it done,” I promise him. “But I’m calling because the club has figured out the jammers for the cameras and is planning on sending two brothers to scope out the shop.”
He’s quiet for a moment. “Who?”
“Shadow and Viper will be the ones doing the stake out. They’re already on their way there, and will probably set up somewhere close by but out of sight. Both are former military, and they know how to blend in.”
“I will handle it. Don’t disappoint me, and make sure that whatever you do, it will not link back to us, or you will be joining your club when I decimate it.”
“Yes, sir.” He hangs up with a click and I make quick work of smashing the SIM card and the phone.
I should probably feel some sort of sadness or guilt that I’ve betrayed my club brothers, but I don’t give a flying fuck. These assholes are standing in the way of my plans, and the fewer in my way, the better.
Now I just need to figure out how I’m going to get Izzy out of the picture without arousing suspicion.
