“Tara was
the one who contacted Stuart.”
Striker let Razor’s words soak in. How was that a concern? “Who gives a shit?”
“I do.”
“Why?”
“She’s staying in my house. She’s one of my wife’s best friends.”
“The plumber isn’t exactly sinister, Raze.”
“No, but she could be.”
“Where is she now?”
“On her way back to the hospital.”
“I really need a shower before I go back,” he muttered, more to himself than Razor.
“Yeah, you do.”
“Fuck off.”
Razor was studying something on his phone.
“What’s up?”
“Doing some digging on Tara Emsworth.”
“What have you come up with?”
“Nothing yet, just putting the wheels in motion.”
“I think you’re overreacting.”
“Gotta go with my gut, Striker. You know that.”
Yeah, he did. Sometimes it was all they could rely on. Right now his gut was telling him that whatever was going on with Ghafor was about to get a whole hell of a lot worse.

“I feel like so much has happened since you and I have had a chance to talk.”
“Like what?”
“Uh, you had a seizure, and something happened with you and Striker. Did he tell you about his sister’s death?”
Aine nodded. “I don’t remember anything about the seizure, but I can tell you about his sister.”
“What happened?”
“He got a call from her doctor after she died.”
“I figured it was something like that. So what now?” Ava asked after Aine told her that the doctor had recommended Griffin get tested to see if he carried the same genetic defect his sister had.
“I don’t know yet. I mean, I think he should do it so he knows, but I can’t say for sure that I would if the situations were reversed.”
