MISTAKE 72
Chapter 72: Tension
A knot of dread solidified in Jimmy's stomach; he was finished.
Escaping was one thing. What happens afterwards?
"I can't exactly walk away without paying up the list, Jon." Jimmy's voice took on a grim edge as he unconsciously glanced around his surroundings. "You know what they do to guys who take a job and leave, right?" Jon's disgusted snort crackled over the line.
"I'd say your odds are better paying the list than sticking around for the end you will definitely experience once the Shaw family finds your ass. At least with them, you've still got your damned life to run with."
They both knew the penalty for violating the list's rules regarding targets and clientele contracts, but that was the Shaw family.
The list could be bargained with for the right price, and if one had the right power, but offending the Shaw family had but one end.
Somehow, Jimmy couldn't decide which fate was the more palatable one to meet.
"Look," Jon sighed. "You still got a chance to get out of this mess if you leave now. Shaw... his family is bad news on a scale you cannot comprehend, man. The kind of bad news with deep. pockets and an army at their disposal." The line went abruptly dead, plunging Jimmy into silence so loudly that he could only hear his heart drumming wildly.
Chapt 2. Tension
Scrubbing both hands over his scarred face, he peeped through the cracked blinds out the window with red eyes.
Just a few hours earlier, he'd dreamed of the payout awaiting him once Anya was delivered to the anonymous client.
Now, the thought of that same payday seemed terribly stupid in the presence of the Shaw, whom he had foolishly provoked.
At this moment, Jimmy could almost smell the wood sipping from his future coffin. He had to escape!
Jimmy began to mechanically stuff his belongings into the battered duffel.
He barely walked out the door when he came face to face with an army of guns.
