They are as toxic as they come, but no matter how volatile they get with each other, they can't seem to stay away.It's more than a payment now, it's an addiction. Everett Kingsmen's favorite assignments were the long ones. The ones he got to work in Colorado Springs, going after people who refused to pay the loans they were given by his father, Malachi Adler.The assignments often lasted months, giving him the time to settle in and remind the people of the city who the Kingsmen's truly were.One customer in particular had forgotten just that, so Malachi ordered his son to remind him who he borrowed money from.
