When Jason heard Elizabeth scream it tore out his heart. She was in trouble
and there was nothing that he could do to help her. "Taggert, Elizabeth's
in trouble. I know that you don't want to see her get hurt. As much as you
hate me you know that she's innocent." Jason prodded.
Something flashed in Taggert's eyes and for a second Jason was sure that Taggert was going to go to Elizabeth. Taggert shook his head. "She chose her life. She chose to be with you even knowing what you do for Sonny. In my books that makes her just as guilty as you." He said putting the knife away.
Taggert pulled his gun out of his holster. "It's time to end this. And when I'm done with you, your little girlfriend is next." He said with an malevolent glint in his eyes. He brought his gun up and aimed for Jason's heart. "Justice is served." He said cocking the gun.
Just before Taggert could pull the trigger Jason heard the sound of the door opening and then the unmistakable sound of a silenced gun going off. He watched as Taggert slumped to the ground, blood trickling out of his mouth.
Sonny came out of the shadows, his gun still pointed at Taggert who was gasping for breath. Sonny beckoned to someone behind him with his free hand and one of Sonny's men came into the room.
Sonny took aim at Taggert's heart, squeezing the trigger several times. "Now Justice is served." Sonny mocked Taggert. He motioned to two other men behind him. "Dispose of the body." He ordered. "We need the keys." Jason said straining to the side to let Sonny see the handcuffs. One of the guards tossed the keys to Sonny, who then un-cuffed Jason.
"Told you it was a trap." Sonny said, his voice hard but his eyes held a bit of amusement. Jason shook his head, his lips twitching. "Always have to be right don't you?" He asked his friend, as they walked away from the mess behind them.
A lone man stood across from the warehouse, completely enveloped in the shadows. He watched silently as a few men carried the bodies of several men out to a waiting car. He shook his head and sighed. "This is very disappointing." He said, fading back into the shadows even more, disappearing into the dark night.
