CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE

K night had never once in his entire life wanted to piss his fucking pants the way he did right now. He looked over at his brother who nodded at him that he had his back.

“Bruce Mackey. He’s a low-level thug, or so we thought. Turns out he’s been making deals on the down low to rise up against the O’Rourke family for the last couple of years. We have five of the coconspirators now in the same interrogation cells as Debbie Jones. They gave us more names of people that are backing Mackey.”

“O’Malley, you need to be aware, some of those people are looking to overthrow you as well. Seems the senator and congressman from our area was working with the two from your area as well as the governor of Massachusetts to send falsified information on both families to the F.B.I.” Donovan stepped into the area so that O’Malley could see him.

“I’m on my way. You had better have a plan of action by the time I get there. I’m bringing some of my men with me.” Patrick O’Malley stood up on the computer screen.

“We do. We’re just waiting for you. I have men watching Mackey’s place to let us know how many we could possibly be facing. O’Malley, something else you should know. It’s not just Avery they took. They also have Delaney. You may want to let Rian know.”

“I’m here. You can bet your sweet arse I’m coming with my da. Knight, it will be good to see you again. Will be like old times in the Army. Only this time, we are rescuing our ladies. Just so you boys know, this Mackey is going to die.”

“On that, we can agree. He will die slowly and painfully. Too quick would be too easy for his lard ass.”

“Knight, be advised, it doesn’t matter if you love my daughter. If she doesn’t love you, nothing you say or do will sway me from bringing her back to Boston so I can get to know her. If she love you, I will get to know her from afar and visit very often. But be warned before I get there, boy, you hurt my daughter, nothing your brother can say or do will save your arse. Are we clear?” Patrick advised Knight as he stared him down on the monitor.

“Crystal, sir. You have my permission to do whatever you deem necessary if I ever hurt her. She’s the air I breathe sir. It’s taking everything in me not to storm that fucking building as we speak. All common sense has gone out the window right now when it comes to finding her. I will burn this fucking galaxy down if one hair on her is harmed in any way shape or form.”

Knight breathed a sigh of relief when Patrick studied him for a few seconds and then nodded at him before logging off the video conference. Bruce Mackey is a dead man. He just didn’t know how fucked he truly was now.

Three hours after the video conference had ended, Patrick, Rian, and Cian O’Malley arrived at the penthouse, along with their large group of men. Donovan’s penthouse was packed full of men ready to go to war.

“I want to see this bitch before we go and get my daughter. Do you have a picture of the other bitch who tried to cause my daughter harm?” Patrick asked, cutting straight to the chase.

“Aye. We have it.” Knight answered, handing the man the photo he requested.

“Take me to Debbie. Boys, I want you to stay here.”

“We’d like to attend, da. While you weren’t with mum at the time you were with this woman, Avery is our sister. We claim her as ours just like you do. I want to hear what she has to say about her treatment of her. I want this bitch to realize she’s fucked, and not in the way she likes.” Cian declared staring his father down.

Knight had to let out the breath he had been holding in. Patrick O’Malley had married a woman who was a saint. He knew Patrick loved the woman. That much was evident in the fact that the man didn’t sell flesh, and he never cheated on his wife.

They had seven children, two of them standing in front of him, twins Rian and Cian. They were Patrick’s right-hand men and were just like him.

Rian and Knight had served together in Delta Force. Like him, Rian was the second born son of their fathers. Not much was expected of them, only to not die, in case the heir to the organization did. They would be next in line, if the heir didn’t have children of their own.

Like him, Rian served as his father and brother’s enforcer. The man was just as deadly as he was. He was also in love with Delaney.

“Very well. Take me to this bitch. I want to also talk to those other five men.”

Yeah, shit was about to go down. Debbie Jones didn’t know what Pandora Box she opened when she caused harm to Patrick’s oldest child. She was so fucked.

Knight and Donovan led Patrick and his two sons down to the underground bunker they had hidden. Only he and Donovan could access the location unless someone was already inside and let someone in.

“Hello, Debbie. Seems you didn’t take my warning at face value. I told you if you ever stole from me again what would happen.”

“P-Patrick. I didn’t steal from you. I don’t know what those fucking idiots told you.”

“You stole my child. You let her believe that I didn’t want her. That I had abandoned her. You hurt my child! You honestly think I will allow you to breathe the same air as her after finding out about that?” Patrick screamed at Debbie, getting into her face.
