a chance to talk with them.”
    “I won’t,” Wes promised. “But what do I do in the meantime? They won’t be here for another few hours.”
    “Find me everything you can on the base in Sandtown, and see if you can find out who this girl is. I want to know everything about her, and then I want her hunted down and killed,” Camden ordered without hesitation. It was obvious he wanted revenge for what she’d done to the Sandtown base because he would be taking full responsibility for the disaster from his father. He made sure to get rid of anyone who caused him trouble or embarrassed him for his leadership choices, even if it meant hunting someone down to kill them. I hoped whoever the girl was, she would be ready to run for her life. Camden wouldn’t let her live long once he discovered her identity. As for the people who helped her, they’d be dead as soon as they were located.

    Camden had been talking to the survivors of the raid for hours. They were piecing together an overall story from what I had been able to hear through the door. Most had only seen the girl, or heard about her from Jax’s men. They had ordered some of the other members to shoot if they saw her escape. Most claimed they’d seen her take Tessa as a hostage, and that Tessa was shot while the girl escaped. It wasn’t clear what happened to the girl, and most didn’t know what happened to the other members. All of them were shot, but they didn’t know who did it.
    Camden did, though.
    It was a tactic used to silence those who’d witnessed his crimes or plans—permanently. He ordered many of the survivors killed, which meant the plan hadn’t gone as Jax thought it would and extreme measures had to be taken. Jax was probably the only one killed by the agent, and the others were killed to keep what really happened quiet. The ones who survived the slaughter Jax’s men had unleashed weren’t near the action, and didn’t know what happened until after the smoke cleared. Either way, we were hearing what Jax wanted us to if he hadn’t died. It made me wonder what actually happened, and what the agent had done. She had escaped somehow, and no one seemed to know what she looked like. She might get out of this alive.
    The only news that came as a surprise was that Ash Crest was found dead in his mansion. After the raid, they had discovered his file was missing and a few members were sent to check on him. They found the grounds littered with bodies. Whoever killed him made sure to leave no survivors. An angry growl escaped my lips when I heard the news, which caused Camden to kick me out of the room. He thought I was upset we had lost members, our ‘co-workers’ as he loosely called them, and sent me into the hall to calm down. My anger resulted from the lost chance for revenge, not at the deaths of a few cartel members.
    The door opened, breaking me from my thoughts as the last survivor stepped out. “He’s ready for you, Marco,” the man said, the emptiness in his eyes suffocating. He had seen his friends die. He’d seen their lifeless bodies, and carried some of them off. This day would be with him forever, and hopefully it would make him see just how dangerous it was to be working for a cartel.
    “Thank you, Miles,” I replied before forcing myself off the wall I had been leaning on for support and standing at my full stature. I towered over him by about a foot, and it took him aback. As he looked up at me, a pang of fear came into his eyes. He saw the part I played, just how it was supposed to be, but I wondered what he would think if he knew my true identity. Maybe then he wouldn’t look at me as the Angel of Death, more as someone who could save him from the hell he had willingly entered.
    “Just let me know if you find the person who killed my brother,” he said with a sullen tone before he walked past me. Little did he know, the person who killed his brother was most likely one
