Story: Duncan
“You’d give up your daughter’s husband but not the man who ordered your death?” Kelley’s eyes snapped to Sal. “That’s right. Whoever you and Ty are working for put out the order. Why do you think you were sent here? Lot of people around. Hard to seewhen someone gets stabbed in a crowd. Or a quick jab from a needle.” Kelley’s face paled. “We got to you first. So, tell me what the fuck I want to know.”
Sal’s angry words washed over Kelley. He knew he was done. But the asshole still wouldn’t talk.
“Why would you do that to your daughter? What happened to family fuckin’ first?”
“I don’t have a fuckin’ daughter,” Kelley spat out. Cian lunged forward and Mac backed him up before he reached the man in the chair.
“You disowned Maddie because she fell in love? You’re a fuckin’ disgrace!”
“You can’t disown someone that isn’t yours,” Kelley snarled.
Sal froze.
Mac and I looked at each other.
Cian stiffened.
“What the fuck are you talking about?”
“The bitch fuckin’ cheated. Not even a year into our marriage.”
“Who?” Sal demanded.
Kelley’s eyes went to the man standing beside me. Turning to Cian, the look on his face said he had no idea he had a daughter.
Sal followed Kelley’s stare, and something crossed over his face. Something dark. Something I hadn’t ever seen in his eyes as he took a step toward Cian.
“You fucked my sister?” Sal asked. His voice low and tight. Cian stood tall, but quiet. “You fucked my married sister?” Sal asked again, clarifying what he wanted to know.
Before Cian could answer, Sal’s arm shot forward and punched Cian in the face. His head wrenched back, and he stumbled but kept himself upright.
Liam and Oscar both rushed forward, pulling Sal back.
Kelley laughed behind us. He was getting off on humiliating Sal in front of his men. Cian glared at the man, then took a step forward before Mac pushed him back a second time.
“Not your kill.”
“Fuck you, Mac.”
“You aren’t half the man your father was, Sal. You have your head so far up the family’s ass you can’t see all the people who have betrayed you.” Kelley continued to spout shit until Sal pulled his gun and shot him in the head.
“Clean up this fuckin’ mess,” Sal said as he tossed the gun on the body and walked out of the warehouse.
“McCoy, follow him.” McCoy nodded at my instruction and followed Sal back out to the road. He would keep an eye on Sal from a distance. Letting him have his space while ensuring no one caught him in a moment of weakness.
Oscar, Liam and Gavin quickly got to work. Untying Kelley and dragging him to the edge of the warehouse, where it opened into the swamp. Ronan cordoned off a section under the warehouse where gators could be lured in and contained, ensuring they were sufficiently hungry when we needed to dispose of a body.
I had to give it to the man. He was smart. Something like this wasn’t an option in Boston. Though we had other methods of making sure bodies were never found.
I turned to look at Cian. “You fucked up.”
“It was one fuckin’ time.” He ran his hands through his hair, grabbing the ends and tugging as he screamed out his frustration. All these years, Maddie was his daughter and none of us knew.
“Think Caity knows?”
We both looked at Ronan. “What?”
“Well, clearly, she never told Ci. Maybe she doesn’t know.”
