"I found a box in Gabriel's attic and there was an old newspaper article about a murder attempt on his life."
Nick stood abruptly. "What? I don't remember anyone coming after Gabriel. Do you Cole?"
"No, I don't but I'm guessing Gabriel remembered. Yesterday when he heard the description of Katherine, a pale blonde with nearly colorless eyes, he changed somehow. It looked as if what he was hearing was a kind of confirmation to something he already suspected."
"Gabriel knows her," Quinn whispered. "Who is she?"
"I don't know but if she's the one who's been pulling the strings, we aren't dealing with your average person. I think we're going to need to learn a little more about Gabriel's past and" Nick looked over at Quinn "we need to find Gabriel because I have a feeling history is about to repeat itself."
"Oh my God." The thought had Quinn going numb with fear.
Nick placed a hand on Quinn's shoulder as he addressed Cole, "We need to find Gabriel before Katherine gets another shot at him."
Chapter Nineteen
The back alleys of Dublin had seen more criminals than most prisons. He knew the way well, had grown up on these streets and survived them. When he reached the old metal door, he knocked twice, waited and knocked three more times, before the peep hole slid open and steely black eyes assessed him. A moment later the door was unbolted and pulled open.
"It's been a long time," the guard at the door said.
"Yeah, is he here?" Gabriel asked.
"Follow me." Silently they walked through the dark halls until they reached a secured door. When it was pushed open the luxury Gabriel expected all but dripped from the walls. His eyes scanned the room and settled on the man sitting in the midst of his own palace.
"Gabriel, to what do I owe this surprise visit?" Niall said from his makeshift throne.
"Where is she?" Gabriel had no time for pleasantries.
"Who?"
Gabriel stepped closer. "Your sister."
The slight blanching suggested he knew more than he was saying when he offered, "I haven't seen her in a few years."
"Bullshit."
"Why the interest, Gabriel?"
"I want to talk with her, Niall."
"She doesn't visit very often anymore."
"Why?" Gabriel demanded.
"Busy, I guess, besides she isn't going to talk with you. She hates you for breaking your engagement."
"I never proposed to her."
"Well, I know that but she believed you did and man she was pissed. I don't think I've ever seen her so angry."
Gabriel's shoulders stiffened. "She's trouble. Surely you must realize that after she incited the riot that almost caused your death."
"I don't think I was the target and I think you know that," he retorted.
"Yeah, that's why I'm here."
"What has she done now?"
"The list is long but most pressing is in a few short days she's going to try to kill me. Again."
