Chapter 6 - The Notorious Crime Boss Uncle Makes His Move
Twenty-four hours of fragile peace shattered when my cell phone rang with an unknown restricted caller ID.
I answered on the second ring, keeping my voice entirely neutral as I pressed the phone to my ear.
“You’ve got some serious nerve, old man, walking into my nephew’s gym and laying out his crew,” a gravelly voice growled.
“If you’re calling on behalf of Dustin, you’re wasting your breath and my valuable time,” I replied flatly.
“That boy is my blood, and you humiliated him in front of his entire training stable,” the voice hissed venomously.
“Your nephew put a hospital concussion on my daughter, so consider him lucky he walked away breathing,” I countered.
“You don't know who you’re dealing with, carpenter. My reach extends into every corner of this city,” the boss threatened.
“And I spent fifteen years hunting men who thought they were untouchable. Let’s see how your reach holds up,” I clicked end call.
I tossed the phone onto the kitchen table, knowing the crime syndicate would retaliate before the weekend arrived.

It was time to call in a few favors from the old Force Recon contacts I still kept on speed dial.
