Alpha Leo and the Heart of Fire

106. A Takedown

LEO.

I raise my arm as the entire wall

explodes, debris and flames spread around us, and I cock my gun, walking through the flames. My men clear the

path for me, blocking anyone from getting too close and those who do manage to pass, I shoot on sight. Soon the commotion of both sides clashing fades away as I walk further down the

dark hall.

I can hear his heart thumping, and smell

the sweat and fear.

Oh, he’s close…

I wonder how it feels to be the hunted… 3.

My footsteps echo loudly in the silence despite walking quietly, and soon I come to a stop in front of a blank wall. He is

behind it… My eyes blaze as I kick the wall with full force.

It slams right off, and I hear a yell. The wall panel hits the floor with a clang, a puff of dust rising in the air, and I scan the darkness, spotting Web backing away. He isn’t alone, with several men standing in each corner of the room. Each one holds a weapon and each one is trained.

“I wouldn’t come in, one shot and you’re dead Schurke. You know what these bullets are, don’t you?” He spits, trying to inch behind one of his muscular

bodyguards.

“You can try to use my own created weapon against me, but you won’t get far.” I smirk coldly, my eyes flashing.

“Kill him!” Web roars and then it all feels

like slow motion. I cross-shoot two,

spinning around as I shoot another two through the forehead, before kicking one that launches himself at me from behind.

The bullet hits him square in the chest

before I flip back, narrowly missing

getting shot.

I don’t stay in one place, grabbing one of the dead men from the floor and holding

him as a shield in front of me as I kill

every single man there. Save Web, who is trying to run, and when the last man drops dead, I throw the dead body at him.

and the force slams Web to the floor.

“Not so fast, this is the end of the fucking line for you Web.” I growl, crossing the room, grabbing him by the scruff of his neck and throwing him across the room.

He hits the wall and drops to the floor,

grunting.

“No no! Listen to me Schurke, we have a code! You can’t kill me! If you do-”

“If I do, I’ll do the world a fucking favour.” I snarl, grabbing him by his collar and searching his pocket with the other. I toss the knives and guns aside

and drop him to the ground, placing my foot on his chest.

“Now let’s fucking talk. Judah Gallahan, everything you know, I want to know, and you will not defy me this time.” I growl, my eyes blazing. “Today there is no escape.”

I can sense his fear that has returned

with a vengeance. “Look I know noth-”

“Nothing will buy you time! Talk or I shoot.” I snarl warningly, shooting his leg to show him that I fucking mean business.

“You are going to kill me either way, why should I talk?” He roars, his eyes flitting to the door.

I go down on one knee, my eyes are cold. ” Because you will fucking speak or I will give you a fucking painful death.” I hiss, grabbing his hand. I crush it, making him scream in agony.

“Fine! Fine! He wants that woman of

yours! She is all he wants!” He yells,

clutching his crushed hand to his chest. 1

“Why?” I ask. He knew the answers, I fucking know that. This isn’t even about

what he knows, but about taking control

of those drugs and bullets.

“Because he needs her.” He says through gritted teeth, before letting out a groan of

pain as he tries to move his hand.

“More!” I hiss, kicking him.

I hate hitting a man who is fucking down, but this is a fucking exception.

Schurke, like fucking thousands, and if

these records are anything to go by, then J.G is the one who purchased them all. We find Judah, we find the rest of the bullets.
