“I need to tell you something,” I admitted. “And I hope that I’m not stepping on toes when I do it.”
Aodhan leaned against the car, and I moved my gaze from the engine to his face.
“What is it?” he asked.
I blew out a breath.
“I found Folsom.”
Aodhan blinked, his eyes going from curious to angry in a matter of seconds.
“So where the fuck did she disappear to without a word?” he asked coldly.
I licked my lips and tried to control my automatic reaction—anger—at him for his words and the silent accusation in his tone.
“I’m going to tell you a story,” I said. “Once upon a time, there was this girl trying to help her friend…”
By the time I was finished telling Aodhan everything, his eyes had gone from cold to horrified in a matter of seconds.
“She left because she didn’t want to put us in danger,” he guessed.
Correctly, might I add?
“Yes,” I answered. “That, and she was scared. She’d done nothing but run for the last ten years, trying to find a way to keep her daughter out of some sick fuck’s hands.”
“He called a hit out on her,” he shook his head. “And you said that you found the latest hit man?”
I nodded. “I did. She, hopefully, is getting investigated as we speak.”
“She will be,” he crossed his arms over his chest, uncaring that he was smearing grease all over his chest and white t-shirt. He sounded certain, so much so that I knew that I’d found another person to protect Folsom and JP if I needed him to. “I’ll talk to Morr.”
I nodded. “Folsom loves Morr. I know that it’s been killing her…and I plan on bringing her home once we know that this psycho chick is under control and can’t come and kill her.”
Aodhan grinned. “Morr’s been in the shittiest of moods. I think that I’ll call her right now and tell her about her friend.”
I smiled. “Just be careful until then to not speak her name in public. The first hit man found her here, which was why she left in the first place.”
“The first hit man.” He shook his head. “I can’t fuckin’ believe that.”
I couldn’t either.
“She dispatched them all on her own,” I said. “Until this one. This one was smart. Has almost zero life on the internet, making it nearly impossible for Folsom to track her that way. I had to find her the old-fashioned way.”
Aodhan nodded his head gravely. “I’ll talk to her. We’ll be careful.”
“Good,” I headed back to my bike. “I’m heading to her now.”
“Where is she?” Aodhan asked.
“The beach,” I answered. “I’ll talk to you when I can.”
Then I was on my bike and heading toward the circus.
I didn’t tell them that I was on my way.
Had I, I would’ve found them a hell of a lot sooner than I did.
Had I, I might’ve been able to prevent walking in to find Folsom fifty feet in the air and my minor heart attack.
