“Yeah, well, we arehisfamily, and I can tell ye this, he doesn’t care a thing about it. Y’ll just be another arsehole who fell victim to Sean Kelly. Run while y’ve still got the chance because if Sean doesn’t kill you…I promise ya this; I will.”
My reverse psychology is working as I’ve planted the seed of doubt, and I can see it growing.
“I’m not here to offer ye an ultimatum. I’m givin’ ye a choice to walk away while ye still can. You and Grady. Call him right now and let him know, if he comes back here, I’ll kill him too. And ye know I’m not bluffin’.”
The gun trembles in Flynn’s hand. “I do that, and who will look after my family?”
“I’ll tell ya what, ya do that, and I’ll look after you and yer family for the duration of yer miserable existence, and then some. All y’ve got to do is call Grady and tell him to keep drivin’.”
“I want half a million. And yer castle.”
A bargaining man is a man who can be bought. I didn’t expect it to be that easy, however.
“All right. It’s yours.”
“And Grady gets the same.”
“I don’t know how yer goin’ to split the castle, but fine, consider it done.” At this point, I’d give him my right kidney if he asked.
No surprise, greed is the motivator behind Flynn, and when he reaches into his pocket, I nod at Ethan. This will be okay. It has to be.
He presses the phone to his ear, gun still aimed at Hannah’s temple. “Where are you?”
I can’t hear what Grady has said but I am ready to take Flynn down if I have to. There is no way Grady can pass on to Sean that Cami isn’t at Aoife’s. But when Flynn appears surprised, I wonder if I’m too late.
Sean appears a few moments later, stopping when he notices something is amiss. Flynn quickly pockets his phone.
“Who was on the phone?”
“It was Grady. He was callin’ to tell me the news.”
“Is that so? And what did he tell ye?”
Ethan subtly gestures with his chin that he can take Flynn.
I shake my head. Not yet.
“That she’s where she’s supposed to be.”
I don’t know if he’s lying. I don’t know if my proposal was enough to convince him to lie. What I do know is this has bought us some time.
“Aye, he phoned me too.”
He did? What in the ever-living fuck is going on?
I can’t show relief, however. “And where is she supposed to be exactly?”
Sean snickers, gesturing Flynn is to give Sean his gun. He does.
A relieved gasp escapes Hannah as she scampers away.
“What were ye talkin’ ’bout?” Sean asks me.
“Ach, ya know, the weather, and who’s hookin’ up onLove Island.”
I need to hide under my sarcasm because I have no idea what’s going on.
“Somethin’ isn’t right,” Sean says, eyeing us closely.
