“Have you heard of the Harpy?” Tracker asks.
“Yeah,” Twister says, furrowing his brow.
“Well then you just met her,” I grin.
“Fuck, seriously?” Burner mutters with surprise.
“Yep, she’s Raven’s cousin,” Blaze confirms.
“Holy shit,” Horse mumbles, shaking his head. “Alright then, so let’s get to it.”
Glancing in Prez’s direction, I find him grinning. “Fuck yeah, this fucker is going to burn for everything he did. For what he did to Cara, Boss, threatening Destiny’s life, and now my other daughter and granddaughter. Fuck that motherfucker.”
Oh, you can say Stoney wants this fucker dead. “What about Cowboy?” Horse asks, mentioning Boss’ ol’ man who is raising his daughter. This all came out when Stoney finally admitted to the rest of us about what was going on with him and Rachel. He didn’t like the fact that another man was raising his daughter. Wanted to be in her life then shit with Spark happened and he started to threaten Destiny, fucked with Boss. The dynamics between Boss and Stoney have always been rocky, we’d seen it but after what Spark did, it pushed him over the edge and that nearly cost him his ol’ lady, amongst other shit that happened. He’d ended up, at Rachel’s suggestion, making it look like Destiny wasn’t his.
They’d come to some agreement about Destiny knowing Stoney was a big part of her being on this earth but not going to be her actual father. Sucks but I’ve seen the difference in Stoney. The way he’s no longer stressed constantly. He’s happy now which is a fuckin’ good thing.
“He’ll have to deal with the knowledge the fucker’s dead. I’m not about to let him live another moment longer than I have to,” Stoney shrugs and glances around to all of us. “Now let’s get this done. I want to be able to get home tonight.”
Nodding in understanding, a couple of others mutter their agreement.
With quick feet, we all make our way closer to the house. As I head in that direction, I block out all thoughts of anything but getting this shit done. Afterwards, I’ll worry about sinking into my woman. Earlier, rather than giving her the two-hour head start in order to do her thing, we’d given her maybe five minutes. Only, when she got on the highway, she’d hightailed it and I swear she’d been going over a hundred miles an hour the entire way. How she didn’t get stopped by cops is beyond me, but I’ll be making sure to address that later. For now, I couldn’t be prouder of her coming up with a plan like this and doing it within moments.
“They still inside?” Stoney asks as we all make it back to the rest of our brothers.
“Yeah, these goggles are the shit,” Neo mutters, holding the ones Harlow had been using. “These are high tech as hell. I need a pair of these.” Grinning he lifts the goggles up to show us. “Here, take a look for yourself.”
“Don’t need to. I know my woman, she wouldn’t skimp when it comes to something that would be used in what she did,” I mutter.
“I can’t believe that small woman is the Harpy,” Twister grumbles, shaking his head.
“Was the Harpy. She’s done. Not about to allow her to get back into this shit. Harlow’s done enough over the years it’s time she lives in peace and be happy,” I state.
“I get it, shit we all get it,” Horse nods in understanding.
“Let’s quit the pussy footing around and get shit done. One of you take this to the other side where Rage and Thorn are watching. We’re going to come at them from two sides, circle around, and surround the place. Making sure once these are lit, we are far enough away but close enough to keep them from escaping. However, Harlow assures us they won’t be escaping. Oh, and we probably should put something over our noses. No clue what she’s got in these things but whatever it is will be intense from my understanding,” Stoney chuckles.
Nodding, I grab a bandana from my back pocket and wrap it around my face securing it in place.
Once ready, each of us cautiously make our way to the house. “I’m gonna call the fucker,” Nerd says looking to Stoney for permission. Grinning, Stoney nods giving him the go ahead.
Pulling out his phone, Nerd calls the number he’d received a call from once before. Stupid fucker picks up on the second ring. “What can I do for you old friend? I thought you might not have survived,” Spark chuckles.
“Naw, I’m alive and well. However, I hope like hell you’ve confessed your sins, considering you’re gonna die. Painfully,” Nerd taunts.
“Is that so? You don’t even know where I am,” Spark cackles, none the wiser we’re right outside his door.
Shaking my head, I look up to the sky. Why do we always have to deal with stupid fucks like this guy?
“Are you sure about that?” Nerd sneers.
“Yeah, fuckhead, you think you’re smart enough to know where I’d go to start a new life, one where I’ll be taking those cute girls and making them my whores when they come of age, they’re already quite beautiful. I’ll do to them what I did to that bitch in New York as well as sweet, sweet Cara. How is she by the way? Still taste the same as ever.” Oh, fuck it’s a good thing we’re all in place as Stoney and Nerd hear these words.
“Rot in hell, motherfucker.” Stoney is the one to speak this time loud enough for Spark and whoever’s with him to hear through the phone but inside the house as well, as he lights the very tip of the fuse and throws it at the front door.
Shit. We have to jump back as the front immediately explodes shaking the ground around us. Fuck, Harlow was right.
Screams come from within the house and in minutes it’s over.
“Damn, Ranger, remind me to never
