two throwing stars sail directly into the man Katana had almost curb stomped.

Keys stepped on the remaining Langley’s chest, the one who had put the taser to his nuts as a kid. “Long time no see, uncle? Bet you wish you’d have killed me. Too bad your money train would’ve dried up. Tell me why she hated me when I was her flesh and blood, and I’ll go easy on you.”

The sounds from behind him let him know King and the others were taking care of the trash. He put more pressure on Blaire, moving until his boot rested on his throat. Blaire’s eyes went wide.

“What’s that?” Keys asked as Blaire’s face turned a purplish red.

“She was leaving us. She told mama she hated her and wished she died. Mama killed her, you didn’t,” he coughed.

Keys let his foot ease up from Blaire’s throat. “How’d she kill her own daughter? I thought she’d had me at the hospital and died?”

“No, mama locked her up in the house and when she had you, she...she let her die. There was a lot of blood but that was on account of what mama done. She told the mayor and he was gonna make her go to jail, but then she showed him what she knew about this place here. She knew what he’d done with me and my brother. We didn’t mind, it wasn’t like we were boys. But mama used it and him to get her way. She was like us and him. The town already knew sister was pregnant, but they didn’t know who the father was, but again, mama did. She was gonna tell everyone and be richer than them Cokers. So, the mayor and her made a deal. Mama kept you alive and he gave her money. She got to be a member of The Domicile.” He gasped, looking around him.

“Why would the Mayor want me to continue to live if I was the rightful heir or whatever?” This town made no fucking sense.

“Because your mother had already created a trail. If you were to die before your twenty-fifth birthday then the Lion Family would’ve been notified. The Mayor would’ve had to explain why he’d had you placed in such horrendous conditions and didn’t ensure your safety. She wasn’t stupid like her family thought, but at the end of her pregnancy her mother kidnapped her, held her in a locked room and then killed her.” Traeger looked up from his phone, sadness etched on his face.

“You let your mother kill your sister? My mother? Then all of you treated me as if I was a stray dog you hated. Fuck, I bet you’d have treated a dog better than you treated me. My god, you’re nothing but a bunch of sick fucks. Were you there when she killed her?” He kicked Blaire in the side of the head, a sort of satisfaction filled him when blood spewed from Blaire’s nose.

“She was a whore who spread her legs for everyone. If me and Blaine wanted, we could’ve had her too.”

Keys didn’t let him say another word. The woman he hadn’t known, but who had the courage to take on this town, deserved better than whatever the prick was going to say. He reached behind his back, pulled his Glock and shot Blaire at point-blank range. It didn’t produce the same size hole as whatever Dragon had used, but when he pulled the trigger again, moving his hand a little, the wound got bigger.

“Nice,” Dragon complimented him.

“Had to improvise since you were being stingy with the cool gun.” He stepped back, looking at the room filled with his brothers. Although he’d lost his blood family that he hadn’t known about until tonight, he didn’t feel one ounce of regret at their loss. The men still standing, willing to risk it all, these warriors were worth ten times more than the pieces of shit he and the others had taken out. They were his true brothers, his family.

“Not stingy, but whatever.” Dragon looked around, probably for another victim.

“Let’s torch this place,” King said.

“Fuck yeah,” Duke agreed.

Koyn lit a cigarette, holding up his lighter.

“We’re gonna need a little more than that to get the job done.” Traeger looked around the room, then walked out.

“Got it,” Katana called.

“Why does that scare the fuck out of me?” Keys asked.

“Cause he’s crazy.” Dragon squeezed his shoulder, then followed his crazy friend out.

They didn’t actually torch the house since it was nestled in the woods and worried
