maxed out every credit card they could get their hands on. Once that was all dried up, the bills started piling up.
Both their cars had been repossessed. He’d driven a fairly new Cadillac Escalade, and Kim had a BMW. Now he was stuck with the shitty Dodge he currently drove. Getting the job at United P and C had been a huge break for them, though it was barely enough. That and he was little more than a corporate drone. When Domingo offered him all that money, no telling what he may have done for that kind of money.
So here he was. All that money had cost him everything in such a short amount of time. He pulled in at Ramos Medical without drawing any attention. The gate guard had seen him enough times, he had just waved him on in. Apparently word hadn’t gotten out among the employees yet. Just as well. He pulled right up to the plant and parked. Reaching under the seat, he took out Slade and Hector’s guns and tucked them into his pants. He did his best to cover them with his shirt. If someone wasn’t looking too closely, then it wasn’t too obvious.
Before opening the car door, he caught a glimpse of himself in his rearview mirror. His beard had grown in fully and his hair was longer. With everything going on the past several weeks, he hadn’t paid much attention to his appearance. Though the beard made him look about ten years older.
He climbed out of the car and walked into the warehouse. Once inside, he wound his way toward the back and through the sliding door. As he stepped inside he saw several cages containing teenage girls. Two men were standing guard, but actually they were more like sitting guard. Before either of them could stand, Tony shot each of them in the face. To his amazement, none of the girls screamed. They just looked at him. One finally spoke up.
“Did you come to get us out?” She asked.
“Kind of. Come on.” He opened the cages and let them out. There were four girls total. They followed him through the sliding door and out the back of the warehouse. There were a few more men back there, but Tony shot all three of them before they knew what hit them. He shot the lock off the back gate and looked at the girls.
“Run ,” He said and walked to the side of the building. The girls took off while he found the large natural gas tank. He positioned himself about fifty feet away and fired a shot into the tank, dropping to the ground immediately. He covered his head waiting for a big explosion, but nothing happened.
The slide was locked back showing it was out of ammunition. He tossed it aside and pulled out the other gun. This time, staying on his stomach, he fired several shots at the tank, on the fifth shot the tank exploded. He placed his arms over his head as shrapnel and debris peppered his body. There was a secondary explosion as something in the building blew up. He ran back to his car, climbed in and sped away.
In his rearview mirror he could see the building burning. He was sure he’d killed dozens of people inside, but he didn’t care. None of them were innocent. There were no innocent people in this organization, including himself. Needless to say, this should rattle John Adams’ cage. He didn’t want to go after him directly, there was no doubt he had plenty of security. Best thing he could do would be to make Adams come to him. Draw him into this darker element where he’d be vulnerable. Tony had always wanted to stick it to the Man. Now he could take down the Man himself.
As he drove off, he considered the next move. This one would require a bit more finesse, but he could do it. So far , he had been both lucky and one step ahead of the game. Had he done this from the beginning, Kim and Taylor would still be alive. Nothing he could do about that now. Now everyone will feel his pain.
