Excerpt: The bad guy and even badderguys

Alan andHannah have spent all day working on their assignment and then overhearsomething they shouldn’t have. Tension mounts as they demand answers from adangerous drug lord. 

    Voicescarried from down the dimly lit corridor.

As they neared the armory,the rough voices grew louder. The sound of metal clanked in his ears. His gutclenched. He grasped Hannah’s hand to keep her at his side in case she tried tojump in front of him with some harebrained notion that he needed protection.Harsh white light shone from the open doorway. His pulse thrummed faster as hepaused at the threshold.

Five bulky men in SWATgear pulled a few semi-automatic weapons and assault rifles from acorrugated-metal cabinet.

“It’s about time Thornfucks with the Jestons.” One thug jammed a clip into a gleaming black gun. “Inever liked their store—too damn expensive.”

“Got that right.” Adark-haired man stuffed on a ski cap.

Hannah stiffened andwhispered to Alan, “What’s going on?”

He stepped back and pulledher with him before anyone could bitch at them for intruding. Chills raked hisskin. “I don’t know, but it’s not our business.”

“Like hell, it’s not.They’re prepping for war. I can’t let this go.”

Neither could he sincethose assholes were going after the Jestons. He tightened his grip on Hannahand stomped back the way they came. The two dead-eyed guards in the vestibuleoutside Bristol’s office sneered as he stopped in front of them.

Hannah tugged her handfree and spread her feet in a battle stance.

“I need to speak withThorn. Tell him I’m here.” Alan waited for a guard to open the doors or phonethe man, but they continued to skewer him with their beady glares. Thehigh-tech camera in the corner with the blinking LED light inside the globe fedthe footage to Bristol’s computer—a system Alan had designed for each camera inthe compound. “Damn it, I have no beef with you, but I’m getting into thatroom. Move, or I’ll make you.”

The blond bastard smirked.

All right, then. Alanfisted his hands. There was no time like the present to test out his boxingskills.

The barrier swung openfrom the inside, and the guards stepped away.

Bristol blocked theentryway with his broad shoulders, six-foot-five height, and his fuck-offscowl. Deep creases bracketed his cold brown eyes like craters.

Unfazed, Alan gazed pasthim to the four angry lieutenants near the desk. The heat of their staresburned as hot as the noonday sun.

He focused on the captain.“Why are your henchmen dressed for war?”

“You’re supposed to begone by now. We’ll speak tomorrow.”

Alan pushed past him toenter the room with Hannah at his heels. “Now, in private.”

Bristol’s eyes bugged out.“Have you lost your fucking mind?” He grabbed Alan by his coat’s lapel anddragged him closer until barely an inch separated them.
