Chapter One-Hundred and Eight: No More Mercy!

Thane’s POV

“I've got a second assignment for you.”

I speak on the phone to my buddy.

The world is crashing down on me so badly, and it's time that I defend myself.

No more waiting it out for the universe to hand me my cake. No more sulking.

And definitely no more mercy.

“I’m here, sir.”

He says, gaining my attention. I’m so pissed off that it feels like I'm going to burn the world down and everything in it.

“On this, you'd better not fumble.”

I say to him, bruising his feelings.

In my defense, this is my reputation, and his damn job, too.

“I need it done, and soon.”

“Let me have it, boss.”

He says, needing to know what it's in for him.

“Stay alert, you will get it shortly.”

Keeping him ready for the next task, I dial the new manager’s line.

“Come to my office right away.”

Somehow, I miss Mark. In my absence, he knows what to do. It was that he got prideful and stupid.
