purple heroin plans have been disrupted, what are the Cartel’s plans for the city?” I ask calmly.
Miguel’s eyes widen as I inch the blade down, just a tad, just enough to give him a taste of my ruthlessness.
“They’re teaming up with the Irish!” he yells.
I always knew he was a coward under his expensive cologne and silk ties. I pull the blade away and a trickle of blood drips down from his chin.
The Irish have been quiet recently. I thought they had all but disbanded with no Walshes to lead them, so this information intrigues me.
“Who’s leading the Irish?” I ask.
Miguel takes a deep breath, and I can see him weighing his options. He knows he is going to die either way, but he’s familiar with the kind of pain I’m threatening and he doesn’t want to repeat it. His shoulders slump a little—decision made.
“Kevin Lynch,” he says.
“Who the fuck is Kevin Lynch?” Mirko asks from behind me.
“Patrick’s uncle-in-law,” I say, passing the blade between my hands. “A bit of an obscure link, but a link nonetheless I suppose.”
“They’re going to take the city,” Miguel tells me. “What Andrew Walsh did will be nothing compared to the kind of hell you are about to face. They will destroy you.”
He spits the words with conviction, as if he has seen the future with his own eyes.
“Then lucky we have you here to tell us their strategy,” I remark, gesturing for him to continue.
Miguel’s lips close, and he shakes his head. “That’s all I know. My job was only ever keeping an eye on you and reporting back. I wasn’t privy to that kind of information.”
“Are you sure?” I press the blade in again, and Miguel screams.
“That’s all I know!”
I move the blade, just a little.
“Please!” he begs. “All I was told was to wait for instructions! That’s all I’ve been doing.”
I remove the knife, wiping the blood on his shoulder. “Well, since you asked so nicely.”
I believe him. Miguel was always too cocky, like a man who wanted everyone to believe that he knew more than he did. Still, the information about Kevin Lynch and the Irish reforming with the help of the Cartel is helpful enough.
I hand the knife to Dom, and he slides a gun into my palm instead.
Miguel begs. He pleads. He bargains. He offers to spy on the Cartel for me, to become an inside man. He offers me money, gold, diamonds.
I lift the muzzle of the gun to his forehead and pull the trigger while he is sputtering pathetically about his wife. Anyone would think me a heartless monster. And that is exactly what I am, what I need to be for the war that is to come.
This is how I will show my men and my enemies that I am not weak—by hammering my authority, by ruthlessly disposing of my enemies, and by taking no fucking prisoners.
If I want to survive what happens next, I need to become the man my father never could be, a combination of my cunning and his ugly brutality.
I am going to take this city, every fucking inch of it, and I will paint the streets red with the blood of anyone who tries to stop me.
