Tangled Love

Jake's POV -

Tobias stands and walks to the door silently before closing it over. He turns back towards me, his posture straight and his eyes dark.

"We kill him," he repeats and I stare at him in shock before laughing loudly.

"You want us to kill Amil?" I choke out and Tobias simply stares back at me, eyebrows raised. I still, my laughter dying out as I take in his serious facial expression.

"Holy shit Tobias, you're serious."

"Yeah, I'm serious." Tobias confirms, walking over to my punching bag. I watch as he holds it between his hands, letting it stand absolutely still before his arm flies backwards and he lands a heavy punch onto it. The bag flies back from the impact of his punch and I raise my brow at him, impressed by his force.

"Nice punch," I state and he grins at me.

"Just pretend this is Amil," he says, pointing to the bag.

"We beat the living crap out of him, let him die slowly. . . He doesn't stand a chance with the both of us." He explains his plan and I nod, registering his words.

"What about his family, his allies? You don't think they'll find us? People look for a dead man Tobias. Especially an important dead man."

"No, I don't think they'll find us. Think about it Jake, Amil has multiple enemies, the man's a walking target. There's too many people out there that want to see him dead, not just us."

I know he's right.

This isn't the first time someone plotted to murder Amil. However I also know it isn't as straight forward as it appears.

"Amil has men constantly with him, he even shits with someone standing outside his bathroom door. He carries two guns on him and a knife strapped to his leg. You think we can beat that?" I ask, my confidence dropping.
