“Jesus Christ.â€ The fury on Nickâ€™s face was enough to send me reeling and he hit the table hard enough with his hand that it made the plates and the silverware on the table bounce and clatter. â€œYou give me the names and approximate location of those men who gave you that ultimatum and Iâ€™ll kill every ***** one of them.â€ I sighed before I said quietly. â€œI already did.”
