Doomsday Revenge: Payback Time (Josie) novel Chapter 34

er 34

Josie leaned against the balcony wall, a lollipop stick hanging out of her mouth.

Listening to them bicker and posture about scavenging, she let out a dry, mocking snort.

Figures.

That was human nature for you. No matter the disaster, there was always some loudmouth jumping up to play king of the hill. Every single time.

But none of that was her problem.

Her Spatial Vault was loaded. She had billions of tons of food, high–tech tactical gear, and a literal military arsenal. She wasn’t about to go out and bust her as fighting over scraps with a bunch of entitled tech–bros.

Thanks for the massive donation, June!

Meanwhile, on the far outskirts of the city.

June was out with Victor Wallace, hitting the streets for a massive, heavily armed scavenging spree.

But they weren’t targeting some picked–over grocery store. June had her eyes on a much bigger prize: a massive, industrial Cold Storage Facility.

Since it was miles outside the city limits, no other survivor groups had targeted it yet.

The second June and Victor’s crew rolled up in their armored transports, they blocked the access roads. They weren’t letting anyone get close to this

goldmine.

Don’t do anything stupid!” a facility security guard yelled, standing in front of the heavy steel gates, his legs shaking uncontrollably as Victor’s men piled out with assault rifles. This is a federally protected facility! You’ll go to federal prison for this!”

BANG!

The gunshot echoed like a thunderclap across the empty industrial lot.

June didn’t even hesitate. She snatched the heavy handgun right out of Victor’s holster, aimed down the sights, and fired a hollow–point round straight through the guard’s chest.

The man collapsed backward, blood pooling instantly on the asphalt.

The entire crew went dead silent. Even the hardened mercenaries stared at her in shock.

What the hell are you standing around for?!” June snapped, the smoking gun still in her hand, her eyes cold as glacier ice. “Start loading the trucks. Grab is much frozen meat and grain as you can carry. Move!”

Right! On it!” Victor’s head bodyguard was the first to snap out of his daze. He sprinted straight for the massive refrigerated bays and yanked the heavy doors open.

“Move, move, move! The others finally found their rhythm, scrambling into action, hauling out crates of premium frozen beef and pork.

June calmly clicked the safety back on and handed the pistol back to Victor.

She saw the look on Victor’s face. He was shocked, and clearly a little pissed that she had made the call without his permission.

June didn’t hesitate. She slid right into his personal space, wrapping her arms smoothly around his neck. She leaned in close, het voice dropping into a sultry, suggestive purr.

“Victor? Are you mad?” she whispered, trailing her lips against his jawline. “Mad because I took that guy out without asking you? Do you think I overstepped my bounds?”

Victor frowned, his ego bruised. T’m the one giving the orders, June

I know, I know. Don’t be mad, babe,” June cooed, pressing her body flush against his chest. I just didn’t want you to have to dirty your hands with scum like that. Plus, we couldn’t waste another second. Every minute counts right now.”

“We need to grab everything we can. It’s the end of the world premium supplies are basically leverage. They’re power.

Keeping a crew this big alive? Your daily burn rate is insane. I’m just looking out for your empire, Victor

“Besides,” she added, tracing the collar of his jacket, I’m all yours. Everything I do, I do it to make sure you stay on top. Right?

She finished with a soft, needy whine, nuzzling into his neck, turning on the intense, manipulative charm to melt his bruised ego away

Just like the way she played powerful warlords in her past life–all that fake, toxic sweetness wrapped around a core of pure poison.

It worked perfectly.

Victor’s face softened instantly. The truth was, he actually believed her bullsht. To an arrogant heir like him, women were just property. Nothing more than an accessory that existed to serve him.
