Chapter 25

"Calm down, boss."

"Shut the fuck up." I snapped at Patrizio. I barely talked to him that way since he rarely fucked up, but right now, I was on the brink of shooting them all myself.

Pat raised his hand in surrender and stepped away from me, leaving me to pace as I tried to find words.
