around for Katana, his feet stumbling as he spotted him with his foot on the back of a man’s head while the guy was open mouth kissing the curb. That wasn’t gonna be purdy at all. “What’s up?”
The guy Palmer was kicking had been zip tied but hearing Keys voice struggled to turn toward him. As soon as he did, Keys good humor fled. “Dragon, give Jaxson to Palmer and bring him inside. There’s a basement that’s got a cement floor with a drain down there. I think I’m gonna need it. Where’s the owners?” The sun was up, the good people of Lionsville would be out roaming any minute. The last thing he or any of them needed was a nosey resident coming upon them as they killed one of the Langley brothers in broad daylight.
“What’s going on?” Blaire asked.
“You gonna curb stomp his ass, or you want to bring him down with this one?” Keys asked Katana. Blood was already covering the concrete, but Blaine was still moving a little.
“Which would you prefer?” Katana asked, giving a little nudge to the head.
Chapter Twelve
They were discussing whether to do a whole American History X scenario on Blaine like they were talking about the weather. What kind of sick shit was this and why was she okay with it?
“You ain’t gonna kill me or Blaine. You know why? Cause you’re a chicken shit like you always been. We coulda made you our little bitch when you were a boy, but mama wouldn’t let us. Now look at you, comin in here like your some hot shit, taking what’s ours. You’re a dead man walkin’ and don’t even know it.”
Palmer looked down at the man she’d been kicking the shit out of, blood trickled out of his mouth. It had felt great taking her rage out on him like Dragon had told her to do.
“Use your grit, girl.” He’d told her.
Looking down at the asshole, hearing him talk about using Keys the way Thomas had used boys, she handed Jaxson back to a startled Dragon. The man named Blaire smirked up at her. He’d rolled over onto his back thinking he was safer. She didn’t stop to think or let him see her intent. When she was close enough, she hopped up, landing her entire weight on his groin, both feet hitting their mark. Oh yeah, she fell on her ass. It wasn’t a graceful fall and she’d feel the bruise to her bum later, but while she was down there, she lifted her foot again, the heel to her right foot came down, slamming into his already injured balls since his hands were behind his back.
“Motherfuck, that’s gotta hurt. I think I love your ole lady, Keys,” Dragon roared with laughter startling Jaxson into a cry.
“That, asshole, is for the comment about making him your bitch. The only one gonna be a bitch around here is you and your brother, if he doesn’t skull fuck that curb here shortly.” Palmer whacked his nuts again.
Dragon leaned down so he was close to her ear, whispering loudly. “It’s called curb checking not skull fucking a curb, but potatoes pototoes I always say.”
“You done flirting with my ole lady, Dragon?” Keys asked bending to help Palmer to her feet.
“You’re bleeding,” she accused.
“I’m fine, sassy girl. Come on, let’s get these worthless pricks inside before we draw a crowd. Katana, you decide if you’re gonna kill him out here or not? That sun is getting brighter every second.”
“You’re a fun ruiner, Keys.” Katana gave a little more pressure then knocked the Langley he had onto his side.
Just before they entered, another SUV roared in, coming to a rocking halt. Palmer clutched Jaxson to her tighter, wondering when the nightmare would end. Keys had stepped in front of her while the two other men made sure they had the Langley’s easily subdued in case whoever was in the new car tried anything.
The two passenger doors opened at the same time, allowing two men Palmer was sure had to be friends of Keys, or killers, out. And they were clearly brothers by blood.
“Traeger said he thought that was you, Keys. I said no way in hell would you be walking around in broad daylight carrying a gun like howdy fucking do, but lookie there, you sure as shit are. Get in the car, assholes, we got places to be, fuckers to...oh hey there, isn’t he a cutie.”
Palmer pulled Jaxson in closer to her as the big
