Charlie’s words sent shivers down the spines of the five, Will Johnson included.

Who could have fathomed enduring Charlie’s torment up until now? They’d hoped he’d release them, but instead, he’d tracked down the Chinese gang’s boss, issuing a deadly command.

Terror gripped them. Will, bloodied, managed, “Mr. Wade… we did as you asked. Spare us…”

Charlie smirked, “Begging won’t cleanse your hands of bloodshed. Did those you killed beg?”

Ignoring Will, Charlie thrust the gun into Casey’s trembling hand, coldly saying, “What are you waiting for?”
