Hearing this, Jonah could only stick close to Odie, his eyes fixed warily on Colby standing before them.
"If you're here to get back at me for Sophie, go ahead and try," Odie taunted as he plopped down on a nearby couch, paying no mind to the pain shooting up his injured leg.
Guys like them were used to brawls and bruises—what injury hadn't they survived? Odie didn't believe for a second that Colby would kill him, the head honcho of the Mintons, all over a woman.
As Colby moved closer, Jonah stepped in to stop him, but one icy look from Colby froze him in place, like some invisible force had locked him down.
"Do you know why I haven't killed you yet?" Colby asked, his voice cold.
Before Odie could answer, Colby whipped out a syringe and jabbed it into Odie's arm, catching him completely off guard.
"Boss!" Jonah snapped out of his trance, but it was too late. Colby had already emptied the syringe into Odie.
Odie's face drained of color. He tried to stand and take a swing at Colby, but his leg gave out, and Colby easily grabbed him by the collar.
"If it wasn't for some old ties, you'd be dead already," Colby said, his voice even colder.
"Oh, I should thank you then—for this shot of poison!" Odie spat, grinding his teeth in fury.
He didn't buy Colby's act for a second. It was all because Sophie was strung out on drugs. Without a new fix, she'd be writhing in pain, tormented by withdrawal.

Enjoying the story, to much victimising Sophie, they could at least try to target others. Hope at some point Sophie comes clean and forgives James and explain her view of loving the boy James was. Just so they both learn and move on. Really needs to be some consequences for the instigators instead of being let go. Sandy needs to see Vanessa is using her as a cover, and Sandy needs to wake up to herself, or be held responsible by her father for alienating the people she was supposed to make contact with. Hope the reporter brother is keeping an eye on what Vanessa and Odie are up to, and that he has he’s own justice in store. Hope he becomes like Reese a good partner. Hope James lives and finds he’s HEA. Need to put Nicole in prison , no release and several lifetimes , with all the evidence on the crimes she’s committed just to get her out of the way guilt free.
