"How dare you!"The big man took a step forward, his voice rising to a level trained to make a room go still. Or in this case, an open lot full of people who weren't part of anyone's plan today."You know where we're from?!" He gestured at himself and the other three. "We're The Black Jack! You think you can just..."The ten men stopped walking.They looked at each other.The big man saw it, and something on his face changed into the look of someone very used to reactions like this and knew exactly what they meant.They're hesitating.He smiled."Good." His voice dropped to a colder tone. "Get on your knees and apologize right now. Before you make a decision that...""The Black Jack?"The voice came from the middle of the ten. A guy with arms bigger than most people's heads, asking the question in a way that showed he was genuinely trying to remember if he'd ever heard the name before and coming up empty."Is that a band?"A small laugh from the other side."Bunch of losers using a co

Chapter 132
Norman smiled.Not a warm smile. Not a smile with a single trace of anything that could make this situation feel lighter than it actually was.It was the smile of a man who had finally reached a point he'd been heading toward for a very long time and no longer had any reason to wait.Paul stared at that face.And something in his body reacted before his brain had finished processing it. A chill that started at the back of his neck and ran down his entire spine in a way no amount of willpower or leftover pride could stop.His eyes darted right, then left.His four teammates were no longer in any condition that could be called a condition. One hadn't moved in minutes, his forehead no longer having any clear shape behind all the blood running down it. The other three were still making noise, but not the kind of noise from someone who'd be getting up to help anytime soon.The young guy with the wooden stick stood at the edge of the crowd with the smile of someone who had already locked in

Chapter 133
No one said a word.In that open lot, its asphalt having taken far too much this morning, the people who remained stood in silence.A few were still holding on to one of the four, who no longer needed holding down. A few stood at the edges with the look of people who had seen things like this before but still found something different about this time.A scene like this wasn't anything new around here.Fights, beatings, people going down on the asphalt and not getting right back up. All of it happened often enough that it didn't always make people stop and watch.But what had just happened between Norman and Paul wasn't that.It wasn't a fight between two guys who were both angry and both didn't know any other way to settle things.It was something different. It was anger that had been stored up for far too long, coming out in a way that left not a single part of it unspent, until it was completely gone.Everyone who watched it knew the difference, even if they couldn't explain it.At

Chapter 134
And the moment the call connected..."It's been half an hour!" Victor's voice filled the entire cabin of the BMW without even being on speaker. The voice of a man long used to being heard without asking twice, and now not getting what he expected when he expected it. "Half a fucking hour and not one word from any of you! What the hell is going on?! Don't tell me that bastard just slipped away!"Norman didn't answer right away.He let the voice finish first.Then he said, "You sound awfully confident your men could catch me, Victor."Silence.Two uncomfortable seconds.Then: "Norman Calloway."Two words. Said in a way that had gone past every layer of control Victor usually kept over his anger. A name that came out at the speed of someone who no longer cared how he said something and only cared that it needed to come out."Where the hell are my men?!""They're in pretty sorry shape right now." Norman answered in the tone of someone delivering some unfortunate news. "I'm not sure they'r

Chapter 135
Victor didn't get up from his chair right away.His eyes were on the floor in front of him, on no particular spot, the kind of place a person's gaze rests when they're processing something more complicated than it looks from the outside."The second car."The young man with the glasses looked up from his screen."The one tailing Charles's daughter." Victor nodded toward the laptop. "Where is it now?"The practiced fingers moved again.This time it took a little longer. Not because the system was slow, but because there were a few layers to get through before the GPS data he was after showed up in a readable format.Twenty seconds.Twenty-five."Got it." The young man stared at his screen. "Aldercroft, the residential area on the west side. The vehicle's stationary." His eyes scanned the data that came up. "It hasn't moved for... over fifteen minutes."Over fifteen minutes?Four men against one guy and one girl.They'd stopped moving even sooner than the crew sent after Norman.Victor
