Chapter One

“I’ve been hit! Officer down I repeat, officer down!”

“SWAT … we need SWAT!”

Boss set his coffee down on the corner of his desk and rolled out his shoulders He flicked on anotherthe drama for almost an hour Normally, he wouldn’t pay attention to the police scanners or live stream if it didn’t involve one of his contracts, but the shootout was only two blocks away It was past sunset and, with the streetlights out, the cops were night blind

Although the police still had no clue what they were dealing with, he knew there were five shooters in different garages and backyards Boss always had his finger on the pulse of the city All five had serious firepower and were hell-bent on taking out as many cops as they could Boss wasn’t sure as up their asses, and he couldn’t care less He stood up and strapped on a bulletproof vest and shoulder holster He didn’t plan on using a gun tonight, but he always carried

Everyone called Boss a ht

Tonight, he was feeling generous

As he readied hiunroom, he opened the door and mobilized one of his drones, co faded into nothing once he released it into the night sky He’d keep control with his night-vision headset Everything he oas state-of-the-art technology He used his hackers to do his dirty work, but Boss was a god behind the keyboard He never ordered ahis’ success

Lately, he’d been slacking, rarely getting his hands dirty for any of his contracts He missed the blood, the adrenaline, the thrill of the hunt His hitmen were the best in the world—well-trained and extremely capable—but he wanted to handle a couple of hits hi, research, and surveillance didn’t satisfy hi

He was probably pushing fifty, but who the fuck knew Beco feeble and dependent on others was a deep-seated fear he rarely entertained He’d rather eat a bullet than give up his power So, he killed it in the gym five days a week and practiced technique and accuracy in his custo to let his couldn’t live forever

He took a deep breath of the cool night air once outside Bossto the shadows He wore all black and had a lifetihts from the police flashers colored the sky as he neared the hot zone, and interunfire cut the eerie silence SWAT couldn’t contain the scene Numerous cops were already down, and it wasn’t safe for paramedics to move in for transport

Minutes after reaching the site, he had all his targets accounted for It was time to pick theet one of his hitmen to end this bullshit Better for hiot cold

He ca a thick arm around the asshole’s neck Within seconds, he secured his wrist, turning his own gun on hih One head shot, and it was a suicide With the aet this week, he didn’t want his stamp on any of it

Unfortunately, he wouldn’t be able to use his oeapons tonight

The pungent scent of sulfur in the air irritated his senses A negotiator’s static voice sounded on thethe shooters to stand down It only served to piss thee Boss borrowed the gun he’d just used and struck the first guy right in the jugular The second went in a frenzy, spraying the garage with lead, shrapnel pinging in every direction He’d get hiun to his first victim, he ducked down and crossed the street

“They’re firing from everywhere Does anyone have a visible?”

Boss continued to listen in on the police communication as he handled their shit

The next tere shooting froet They had enough a

What was the point of this bloodbath?

Boss’s curiosity was piqued when he saw the state of his next target He looked like shit, his heat signature off the charts He grabbed aoff the end of the handle with his boot As soon as the shooter stopped to reload, he ht in the neck He iged him by the collar and ra hiled from the wound and he collapsed to the side Another unfortunate accident Nice and simple for the police reports
