Chapter 214: Who’s It Gonna Be?
(JERICHO)
Danny stops in his tracks, looking angry. "Wesley, are you here?" His tone has changed and now he sounds almost bored instead of smug. He mumbles something then scans the surroundings.
Frustration eats at me. If he leaves this warehouse, he is going to be free to keep hunting Wesley. I know that Sasha and Miles aren’t going to make any move on Wesley yet. They want both Peter and Danny. Should I do something? Maybe not. I don’t want to ruin the plans that they already have in mind.
Then a cold metal presses at the back of my neck and I freeze. "Well, well well, what do we have here?" Peter Sawyer rumbles from behind me.
Fuck.
I knew in my gut that bastard was somewhere in here. I just didn’t know that he had actually crept up on me. I still have a gun in my hand, but I’m sure that by the time I spin around, he will have lodged a bullet in my skull. I need to let Miles and Sasha know that Sawyer has the drop on me. My heart pounds and I say loudly. "Hey, Peter, nice to meet you here."
Danny stops walking and peers through the darkness at me and his father. "Pa, you got him?"
"I got him." Peter cackles. "You think we didn’t know that you were setting us up, boy? You’re really bad at this, aren’t you? Your brother should have taken more time to train you on this crap."
Danny walks towards us, still peering in the shadows. "Wesley really isn’t here?" he asks.
Peter sighs. "Of course he isn’t here, Danny. This was a set up for us to get here. But we got Jericho Adonis. Hot dang, this must be our lucky day." He lets out another obnoxious cackle. "We are going to get a lot of leverage with this one."
"Get up, asshole." Danny stops in front of me. "Drop your gun to the ground."
