“Or two, cough up Finn Sullivan. We kill him for his crimes, and we’ll leave Ireland and all that’s yours intact. So what will it be?”
Tim sits back in his chair and starts to laugh like we’ve told him a joke. I haven’t come here for jokes or to play games. I haven’t said a thing that’s funny.
When his laughter dies down, he frowns and glares at me. “Ach, you have balls of steel, you do. Who the fuck are ya to come in here and threaten me? What’s to keep me from blowing both your heads off and sending the rest of your bodies back as a wedding gift?”
Oni pulls her tablet, turns it on, places it on the table, then sits back in her seat. I place a hand on the back of her neck and massage it. McFarlan looks back at us and snorts.
“What’s this?”
“Take a look. Anything look familiar?”
I watch as he homes in on the tablet, and his face goes pale. He then looks up at us and swallows hard. I’m not fucking around.
He’s looking at live footage of my men’s current points of view. Red dots trained on each of their targets. Even those McFarlan prides himself on keeping a secret.
“Like I said. You’ll be finished before week’s end. I know where all your family is right at this moment. If we don’t walk out of here at the designated time, if anything shifts in a single one of those locations before my wife or I call, if my guys so much as think you’re up to some bullshit …
“You’re going to lose your family here in Ireland and each one of them in the States. I told you to keep that dog on a leash. He clearly has no respect for you, so here we are. Your choice. Him or everything you love,” I hiss.
Oni sits up in her seat and crosses her legs then leans forward. “And before you even think about growing a pair and testing us … I will freeze every asset you and your men own. It doesn’t have to be today, and I don’t even have to be breathing.
“Any move against me, my husband, or our family will trigger the implosion of everything you own. If you don’t believe me, log into your bank account right now and see what I mean.”
He swallows hard and pulls his phone to log into his account. His face grows white as a sheet. Oni sits beside me, smiling from ear to ear.
“Jesus, Mary, Joesph. What have ya done? Where the fuck is all my money?”
“Do we have a deal?” I say.
“Ye can have him. Travis, get them the address for Sullivan’s hideout.”
“Good. You can refresh your screen,” Oni purrs.
“Ach, this is a load of bullshit. How did ya end up working for the Italians? Didn’t Finn have ya running with one of his crews?” McFarlan asks bitterly.
“I guess finding out my best friend set me up and his family had my father killed was unforgivable to me. Might have even compromised my sanity. Loyalty goes both ways,” Oni replies then stands to walk out.

“Are you ready?” Rico asks as we turn onto the road to the house Sullivan is held up in.
“Yes,” is all I can manage to push out.
Apparently, Finn isn’t wanted here in Ireland either. He’s been hiding away from some people he owes answers. McFarlan has been keeping him safe for some reason I couldn’t care less about.
That time is over. I have something special just for Finn Sullivan. This kill will mean more to me than any of my others.
This is the man who had my father killed. He set in motion my losses. I don’t care that I used to spend all my time in his home with his son.
Fuck breaking bread with them at their table. A rat will eat the food from your hand, then bite you. The Sullivans are no better than a bunch of rats.
The sooner I put Finn down, the better. We pull up to the house and hop out of the SUV. I gently grab my bag to bring with me.
The front door opens before we can get to it. Finn sees me and his eyes light with recognition. My stomach turns in disgust as he smiles at me.
“Oni Raven. I didn’t think I would ever see your face again,” he croons.
Rico rushes forward and wraps his hand around Finn’s neck, shoving him back inside the cabin-like house. I take my time following them inside. Mario, Ed, and Al bring up the rear.
“Why didn’t you think you would see her, you smug prick?”
“Because I thought I’d be on my way back to the States for your funerals. I had much more success with having her da set up and murdered, the traitor bastard.”
