"Yes....God yes....thank you...."
"Don't thank me. Just pray you're smart enough to never make this mistake again." Dimitri straightened, looked at Vinnie. "Get him out of here. Make sure everyone knows what happened. Make sure they know I showed mercy. But make sure they also know what happens if they test that mercy."
"Yes, boss."
Dimitri walked out of the warehouse, Marco beside him.
"You good?" Marco asked as they got in the car.
"Fine. Why?"
"Because you just shot a man in the leg and threatened to kill his children. Most people would need a minute."
"I'm not most people." Dimitri checked his phone, message from Eve. Vincent had visited her. "And that man stole half a million dollars from me. He's lucky he's still breathing."
"Fair point."
They drove in silence for a while.
Finally, Marco spoke. "You heading home?"
"Yeah. Eve's waiting."
"You gonna tell her about this?"
