“TJ, go get the van,” Caleb said between breaths as he wiped the sweat forming on his forehead.

“Blue, you know you can’t kill him,” TJ replied with wide eyes as they both looked down to the bleeding man moaning on the ground.

“TJ, [i]get the van[/i],” he spoke again, this time in a stern voice. 

TJ took off in a jog to grab the van parked a few blocks away, leaving Happy and Caleb alone with Connor. 

Caleb crouched down next to the man and eyed him up and down. “Was it worth it, Connor? How was the fix that you got from all this, huh? Was it worth a man getting a bullet put between his eyes?” He stood up and abruptly kicked the man in his side with his boot. “Answer me, asshole!” 

“Please,” Connor whimpered after another kick to the ribs. “Please don’t kill me. I swear, I swear it won’t happen again.” He gripped his side in pain and curled up into a fetal position. 

Caleb rolled his eyes before stepping on the man’s hand, using the heel of his boot to grind them into the asphalt. Connor screamed in pain until he picked up his foot. “You are responsible for the death of my best friend. You don’t deserve mercy.” 

Happy stepped in and put a hand on Caleb’s shoulder. “Blue, are you sure you – “ 

“I’ve got this, man,” Caleb interrupted him before he kicked the man in the stomach. As he lifted his foot to kick him again, he heard a woman’s voice singing down the alley, and he snapped his head back to see the woman he had winked at earlier. “Go inside!” his voice echoed as he yelled to her. 

Happy decided to try again to give him advice. “You know, man, if you kill him, the boss is gonna – “

Caleb turned to face Happy in with anger in his eyes. “I don’t give a fuck what the boss thinks. He didn’t care about Jimmy like I did, man.” To punctuate his sentence, he kicked the man on the ground, this time in the head, and a loud cracked confirmed what he had just done, along with the warm red blood that began to pool at his feet. “Where the hell is the van?” He looked back behind him to see the girl still standing there. “Shit,” he whispered at the realization of what she had just seen.
