The Marvelous Elijah's Return

Chapter 182 Face to face

Like a madman, Deacon opened fire on the SUV, bullets flying everywhere as he screamed, “Go to hell!”

As the sound of bullets hitting the car from every angle, Matt, Dice, and Rookie kept their head down, and Matt could hear Elijah screaming from the other end of the call, “Matt, say something! Please! Are you guys okay?! Is anyone Hurt? Fucking tell me something, anything!”

“We are okay, boss!” Matt shouted back, because of the deafening sound of the fires.

Finally, silence ceased the atmosphere, and immediately, Dice raised his head, feeling glad that he was working for Elijah because of how built their vehicles were, and even though the car took a lot of hits, a single bullet didn’t penetrate the car.

Staring at Deacon, Dice immediately guess that he was out of bullets, and with a fifty-fifty chance that that was true, he jumped out of the car, causing Rookie to scream, “Dice, no!”

When Deacon saw him coming toward him, he turned to run for his car, but like a wild cat, Dice lunged toward him, grabbing him by the neck as the two dropped to the ground.

Before he knew it, Dice pulled out a gun, pointed it at Deacon, pushed it against his forehead, and said, “Act up, and I will pop your brain!”

“I surrender !” Deacon shouted as Dice shoved the gun harder against his head, ” You all are Elijah’s men, right? All I ask is don’t turn me over to the police, or else he will kill me.”

“Who will kill you!”

“Let me speak to your boss face to face. I will only answer that question to your boss, in his presence.”

Frowning, Dice slightly pulled the trigger back as his jaw tightened and then he sighed, knowing Elijah had been searching for weeks for this dude and killing him would be a useless move.

Without saying a word, Dice lifted the gun and slammed it into Deacon’s head, making him scream, “What the hell!”

Immediately, Matt and Rookie rushed out of the van when Dice slammed him in the back of his head again, making Deacon scream, “If you kill me, I ain’t talking…”

As Dice was going in for a third hit, Rookie grabbed his wirst and said,

That’s enough… A dead man has no voice… Got it?”

Looking at the car with wild eyes, Matt froze at the sight of how much bullets holes got stuck in the metal, and then he said, “Boss, we got him.”

Drawing a deep breath, Elijah sighed, dropping onto the couch, his heartbeat taking a moment to calm down after the stress he went through.

“Where’s that bastard?” Elijah said calmly, and yet, his tone carried an edge that sent chills down Matt’s spine.

“Dice has him pinned to the ground,” Matt responded.

Overhearing Matt’s conversation, Deacon struggled to pull his lips from the dirt and then shouted, ignoring the pain in his head, “Is that Elijah! Tell him I am willing to talk if he’s willing to meet up with me and talk!”

Because of the volume of his voice, Elijah picked up on what he said, and his fist tightened as he said to Matt, “Tell Dice to take him to the warehouse. I will be there in Syldavia a couple of hours from now.”

“Okay, boss,” Matt said, looking back at Dice’s knees pressed into Deacon’s spine.

After dropping the call with Matt, Elijah sighed as he woke from the couch and then walked out of the living room, heading for their bedroom.
