scream!
    Nado’s men scrambled to their feet, and the sharp click of guns
being drawn filled the room above the men shouting and women screaming.
    Cassandra stood behind Xavier with the gun she had taken from
the thug outside and pointed it at the occupants of the room.
    “Leonardo? That’s your name, correct?” Xavier asked coolly.
    Nado looked terrified and started to visibly tremble with pain
as Xavier continued to twist the already broken arm.
    “Don’t ever point a damn gun at her again.” Xavier tapped Nado
with his gun. “Do you understand?”
    Nado glared at him with pure rage but reluctantly nodded.
    “Good, now tell your men to lower their weapons and gather in
the corner over there,” Xavier instructed.
    Nado blinked away the gathering moisture from his eyes and
tightened his lips. He refused to voice the instruction.
    Xavier shot him in the right foot.
    Nado howled with pain.
    “Tell them,” Xavier said with deadly cool.
    Nado waved his good hand at his men while he continued
whimpering.
    Xavier watched as the men reluctantly lowered their guns to the
ground. “Move over there,” he instructed with the same cold, emotionless voice.
    “X, I don’t want anybody to die tonight,” she said loudly. “But
I swear, if that idiot doesn’t bring my brother out, you can shoot his dick
off.”
    “Where is he?” Xavier stared steadily down at Nado, who was
sniveling with tears raining down his round cheeks and dripping off his chin.
    “Hey, Nado, you want us to cap—” one of the men started, but
Xavier shot him in his right knee. The man collapsed on the floor, screaming in
agony.
    Xavier pulled on Nado’s injured arm again. Nado hollered as
though he was in mortal pain. The women in the room collectively gasped.
    “We can do this all night,” Xavier advised coldly. “Where is
Cameron?”
    Nado started crying in earnest. He lifted a beefy finger and
pointed to a closed door.
    Xavier pointed his gun at Nado’s uninjured leg. “Tell your man
to bring him out,” Xavier said coldly.
    “Linc, man, get Cameron out here,” Nado sobbed, looking at a
tall man standing next to the closed door leading to another room in the house.
    Linc looked pissed and ready to explode, but he pulled open the
door. He disappeared into the room and came out a few seconds later with a
bounded-up Cameron in tow. It was obvious that they had beaten him; bruises and
cuts were visible on his face.
    “Oh my God,” Cassandra exclaimed, and her palm covered her
mouth in shock.
    “Take it easy, honey,” Xavier cautioned. “Loosen those ropes,”
he instructed Linc.
    Once Cameron was free and the gag removed from his mouth,
Cameron slammed his fist into Linc’s stomach. “Don’t ever touch me again, sissy
mudderfucker,” he muttered fiercely.
    Linc doubled over, gasping to regain his breath.
    “You good?” Xavier asked Cameron.
    “Yeah, man, let’s bounce.” Cameron glared at Nado.
    “Cameron, gather the guns from the floor and follow Cassandra
to the car out front,” Xavier instructed as he put Nado in a headlock and
started dragging him toward the exit.
    “You’re going to be sorry for this, Cameron. Tell your brothers
we coming for all a y’all,” Linc promised.
    Xavier shot him in both knees. Linc dropped hard to the floor,
screaming in outrage. “Anyone else feel the need to issue threats?” No one said
a word. Xavier dragged Nado outside the little house. A crowd had gathered
outside.
    “Man, Nado, you can’t let dis American come up in here and do
us like dat?” The young man speaking couldn’t be more than eighteen years old,
and he was also wildly waving his gun around.
    “Put that gun down before you lose both legs,” Xavier advised
him calmly.
    Cassandra and Cameron climbed into the SUV parked on the curb.
    In the young man’s panic, he shot Xavier in the stomach.
    Cassandra screamed and turned to climb out of the car.
    Xavier barely flinched from the slight pinch of the bullet
piercing his
