I look down seeing several pictures of all the guys, but the ones of me at the house in the woods sitting on the porch are what stand out the most.
“Who?” Ty growls as Evan reaches for the pictures.
“Darrell.” He pauses. “He searched for me, but I knew that before Corey told me.” He tilts his head to the side. “He may be one step ahead of you, but I’m five in front of that fucker.”
“The hell?” Evan says, throwing the pictures down. “That doesn’t explain why you’re here.”
“I know what he looks like and where he is right now.”
Everyone is silent as they seem to take in all this information, silent conversations going on around me. But I can’t move my gaze off Reid as I try to piece it all together. Everyone knows who he is, so why did he come to church? I’m sure Luke would have told me if he had someone watching me back then, but he didn’t. So why was Reid there?
“What do you want?” Ty asks.
“Help,” Reid says simply, shrugging.
“Don’t you have enough teams?” Evan asks, folding his arms over his chest.
My head bats back and forth, not understanding any of the conversation going on around me.
“Sure, but not any this close. What I can’t work out is why he’s obsessed with all of you.” He frowns. “Me I get, but you guys?” He shakes his head. “I don’t get it.”
“And you think we do?” Luke growls.
“Oh, I know you don’t, and that’s why I’m here. You help me find out what he has on me, and I’ll help you find him and put all this to rest.”
“Meeting,” Ty commands. “Evan’s safe room.”
There’s a chorus of nods before Luke steps away from me. “Stay here with Kay and Lexi.”
“Okay,” I murmur, knowing that whatever is going down right now is more important than the answers I want as to who took pictures of not only me, but all of us.
“Let’s go,” Ty says, and when Luke presses a kiss to my forehead, Reid steps forward.
“These guys know me as Daley.” He grins. “Nice to officially meet you, Lily.”
I frown, wanting to ask what he’s doing, but he walks away with a wink over his shoulder.
“Dick,” Luke growls, squeezing my hand once before following everyone out.
LUKE
“So, you’re telling me you knew who he was and what he looked like this whole time and didn’t think to tell us?” Ty growls, sitting at the head of the table in the safe room.
Evan sits opposite him, me and Kitty on one side and Daley on the other.
This fucker has been causing us problems for years, interfering where he shouldn’t. The fact that he’s essentially a ghost and killing him could go un
detected crosses my mind, but it probably wouldn’t be the best idea knowing he has connections only a handful of people know about.
The way he looked at Lily, as if he knew all about her, has my hands clenched even tighter. He’s not stupid, and if the photos are anything to go by, I can tell he knows more than we think he does. Has he been watching us too?
“Of course, I did,” he scoffs. “You think I don’t know where every one of my enemies are?” He leans back in his chair. “But this one went a step too far and looked into me. I need to know what he found.”
I tilt my head, watching him closely. “You’re a ghost, what could he find?”
A muscle ticks in his jaw. “We all have a past,” he says simply.
I frown, staring him down and trying to work out why now. Why would he leave him alone for years but worry he’s found something now? It doesn’t make sense. Daley has his shit locked up tight. I mean that isn’t even his real fuckin’ name.
