“I can help you disappear. I can help you and Rian Kelly disappear.”
Ty winces but continues to stare him down without responding.
“There is only so much I can do to protect him unless you can cooperate ––”
Ty smashes his fist into the table hard. Fuck this guy. Rian is being abused as they are sitting here wasting time, and this fucker is bullshitting him about supposedly protecting Rian.
Before he can blurt out something and fuck himself over, the door bursts open and Sullivan rushes in.
Sullivan points to Ty and barks, livid as all hell, “Not another fucking word!”
He swiftly turns to Phan. “What the fuck man?! I specifically told you to wait for me in the warden’s office! Get out!”
Phan immediately jumps out of his seat, straightens up, salutes him, and yells out, “Yes, sir.”
He leaves the room so fast, slamming the door behind him, that Ty is still looking at his empty chair seconds later.
What the actual fuck is going on?
Sullivan takes a seat. This is his friend and yet not exactly.
Thispersonlooks at him with tired eyes. There is something very different about the demeanor of his friend that stabs Ty in the heart. Sullivan has played him. This much is clear. But he is yet to find out exactly how much he has fucked himself over by trusting the wrong man.
“Ty, this wasn’t how I planned any of this to go down.”
“Spare me the bullshit. Who the hell are you really?”
“Marshal Sullivan Apaay Smith. I’ve been leading the investigation on Harris Kelly ever since the suspicious death of Cyril Owen. I’ve been derailed a few times, but I finally have all my ducks in a row. I am just about ready to nail that motherfucker. That is unless my main witness decides to become a criminal and discredit himself before we ever make it to court.”
“What the hell are you talking about? You’ve been here with me this whole time…”
“Notallthe time.”
“The two stints in the hole?”
“Difficult cases.”
“The work placement off prison grounds?”
“Less complicated incidents. I was able to wrap things up faster.”
“How could you just fucking look me in the eyes and lie for years? I’ve known you for more than two fucking years!” Ty can’t hold back his anger any longer. His furious voice echoes through the small room.
“I’m not going to apologize for serving my country. I’m doing my fucking job. I’m a representative of the military justice system. No matter where the fuck I am, I amalwayson the job.”
Ty glares at him, then hisses, “Then do your thing and offer me a deal worth my fucking time.”
Sullivan grins. “Now that I can do.”
Before Ty can get carried away, he quickly blurts out, “Harley ––”
Sullivan cuts him off, smugly stating, “I’ve got him covered.”
Ty raises his eyebrows in question. Sullivan smirks like the cocky asshole that he is, “Let’s say I offered him something he wanted…more. You don’t need to worry about Harley. He’s not your problem anymore.” Sullivan says it as if Harley is no doubt added to the shit list of problems, he needs to take care of.
“What about all the intel he has on me? On Rian?”
Sullivan’s look darkens. “It’s taken care of. You must ––”
