“Sky says that’s why she invited them. She wants to tell them the truth. They’ve been worried sick and need to know what happened to her. Also, someone needs to comfort them.” Pet’s stare grew intense.
“Me? She wants me to comfort them?” Sky was out of her mind.
“You promised to look after Sky’s family. They will be safe here.”
“No. They won’t.” They had no clue about the beast inside him. He cared for no one and loved killing just for fun.
“Why not?” Pet asked.
“Because I am not what you think, and none of you are safe here. There will be no more discussion on the matter. You must all be gone by the time I return tonight.” He turned to go change. It was time to pay Vincente Newbery a visit. His family had the most to lose in this trafficking scandal and was likely behind killing the Browns and bombing Amelia’s home. Plus the hack.
“Where are we going?” Pet asked.
“You are going anywhere but here. Get out!”
“But I made you biscuits!”
CHAPTER FIFTEEN
While Damien changed into all-black clothing, the type one wore to break into a home at night, he got a text message on his phone.
Number unknown.
Please, Damien, I know you’re angry with me, but you need to let Amelia and Miguel stay here.
He looked around his large walk-in closet. Sky was texting him. From where? And where did she get a phone? This must’ve been part of her online shopping.
Damien:How are you texting me?
Sky:Same way I drive a car, with my hands
Smart ass.Still, he had to admit, the ghost had skills.
Damien:No, they cannot stay.
Sky:You’re worried about your curse.
How did she know about that? Perhaps Cimil had told her. Who knew what sorts of conversations occurred between the dead and the deities or even other ghosts?
Damien:You’re a fool if you think your sister and her son will be safe with me.
Sky:No one else can protect them. And Amelia hates your type. That makes it safe for her, right?
Wrong.
Damien:I do not care. Tell them to stay somewhere else.
Sky:You killed me. You owe me. Period.
Did she have to keep pulling that card? Because she was right. He took her life, he owed her a debt, and all debts needed to be paid. On the other hand, this request was completely illogical. Sky was a smart woman. She had experienced his curse firsthand. If she truly cared for her family, why put them in harm’s way?
Damien:This I cannot do. I am sorry.
He set down his phone and finished dressing. Black jeans. Black T-shirt. Black baseball cap and boots.
He went for his safe.
Yes, tailor. Get the big knife. I like using that one,said the beast.
