"Hello Fox."
"Wolf." He turned to face me, leaning back against the glass and folding his arms like owned the place.
"What brings you to the city?" I stepped inside and closed the door.
"You know why. I'm here."
"I'm just having some fun. Not all of us get the same thrill from killing as you do." Killing satisfied something in me a need a for balance and calm but Fox wasn't like me. He didn't need to kill. Killing gave him pleasure, the same as a fine wine, a delicious meal or a good fuck. Fox was crazy, even by my standards. Depravity ran in his family. Nobody ever got a clean or quick death at his hands they usually ended up in pieces.
"Distractions get you killed."
"She's not a distraction."
"Then what is she?"
I paused. I'd known Fox for most of my life, and all of his. Subterfuge would be useless. "Everything."
Fox's lip curled, and he shook his head. "Feelings." He barely concealed his distaste at my answer. "And people say I'm insane."
Fox didn't do emotions. He did murder, torture, and the occasional bit of revenge. I take a breath, getting control of the annoyance that could turn to anger. Fox and I are friends, but if we get into a fight. I'm not sure either of us would make it out alive.
"I'm sure you didn't come here to discuss my personal life. Fox."
"Is DeLuca traffiking?"
“Yes, Elliot Winters is the buyer. Fifty-three years old.Works in finance. Old money family. No criminal records but a suspicious number of payments to former female employees over the years.”
Fox’s eyes narrowed. “So nothing of value will be lost when he takes his last breath.”
“Not at all, but too many girls have gone missing too fast. Either there are more buyers or Winters is procuring girls for a larger operation. Maybe both. I’m not sure yet.”
"You're usually not this slow to gain intel. Your little distraction really is a problem, isn't she?"
I clenched my fist. "Jasmine has nothing to do with this. I'll find out where they're keeping the girls and we'll end them and their disgusting little operation."
"Then what? You can't exactly retire? You know death is the only exit from the society."
"I have no plans to leave."
"Wolf, we're not the men women love. We're the monsters they fear.Surely you don't plan on telling her the truth?"
"I do in time." Jasmine was mine, and I had no intention of ever letting her go. She made me feel alive in a way in ways I never had before. I wasn't giving that up for anyone or anything.
"You know if you reveal yourself, she can never leave you?"
"I'm aware of the rules, Fox." My jaw tightens with irritation.
"Then you know if you reveal yourself and she rejects you. I will kill her."
I lunged at him, grabbing his shirt and bringing us nose to nose.
"You're wrinkling my shirt. I hate that." Fox smirked and tapped the dagger I knew he always carried against my ribs.
I didn't flinch. "Don't threaten her." I growled.
"You really are ready to die for her."
"Absolutely, and if you touch her, it will be the last thing you ever do." I released my grip and stepped back.
