Free The Villain by Jordan Silver Page B

miserable. If he so much as filched a candy when he was five I’d find out and use it against him.
    “What should we do boss? This thing is serious, like they’re organizing a task force just to bring you down.” Bring down these nuts.
    “I make a hundred and twenty million a day, do you think some fuck pulling down forty grand a year can touch this? The fuck outta here.”
    After he left I made some calls, had to get my shit straight. I had my little Asian tech guru on that shit with a quickness.
    He was one of my secret weapons; anything the fucks came up with Chow could counter. He loves that shit, as was evident by his excitement when I told him what I wanted.
    Chase came back within the hour with more than enough info. I looked over the digital stills of Sampson meeting what looked like a very underage girl in a motel room.
    Cheap fuck, according to his stats he could afford better, disgusting pig.
    I picked up the phone and called the number on the report only to be told he was busy in his chambers. Yeah I bet, busy fucking with my shit.
    “Tell him it’s Santorini and he’s gonna wanna talk to me.” The line was on hold for three minutes before he came on.
    “Mr. Santorini this is very unorthodox and quite frankly we have nothing to say to each other.”
    “I’m about to send something through your fax, I suggest you keep this for your eyes only if you know what I mean, I’ll stay on the line.” I nodded to Chase who sent the printout.
    I listened as the fucker moved around on the other end of the line. “What is it that you want?”
    “Let me ask you a question, do you know me?”
    “No, but I know of you.”
    “Yeah, well now I know of you too. Here’s what you’re gonna do, you’re gonna rescind whatever the fuck you did and call off your fucking dogs. I’m not gonna be your entrée to the supreme-court you fuck.”
    “I can’t it’ll raise questions.”
    “I’m thinking I don’t give a fuck. You have until five today and Ezra, I so much as scent a cop in my vicinity these pictures go live.”
    I hung up pretty sure of the outcome. Too bad I was going to crawfish on the deal, I don’t clasp hands with assholes who prey on children.
    My phone rang again and I was about to blast his ass but it was my queen calling to harass my ass with her shit. “Draco I wanna go to The Garden for lunch.”
    I checked my watch it was nowhere near lunchtime. The Garden was one of my restaurants, but since the whole thing with her dad putting a bead on me I wasn’t too jazzed about making myself a target.
    I was still working on finding out who’d taken the job before I capped his ass. I was still deciding whether or not I was gonna end Felix or let him live for her.
    By rights the fuck should be dead by now, but you can’t blame a man for trying to protect his kid.
    “I’ll send Chase to get you and I’ll meet you there later okay.”
    “What’s wrong with Andre?” I didn’t answer her because what the fuck? I’m tired telling her about minding my damn business. She sucked her teeth and hung up in my ear.
    “You have to go get my nutter at lunchtime, she wants to go to the Garden. Andre has somewhere that he has to be.”
    He grumbled some shit under his breath but I wasn’t paying him any attention either. He can’t figure out how to deal with her ass that’s on him.
    Meanwhile the two of them war like siblings, especially when she bullies him into playing that Wii shit and she cheats.
    I got lost in my work and was barely aware of him telling me he was going to get her. I had at least another hour before I had to be there so I tied up some loose ends before heading out.
    I knew some fuck was wrong as soon as the car turned onto the street where the restaurant was. There were cops and ambulances and fire trucks.
    I jumped out the back of the town car before it came to a stop and ran towards the doors where people were scattered all over the fucking place.
    There was blood all over the
