“Where is she?”
“Right now?”
“Yes.”
“She’s staying with her father.”
“Right.” Pause and, “You know you and me are gonna have to talk.”
“I know.”
“Okay.” Another pause and, “Thanks for the info.”
“Hale?”
“Yeah?”
“You already know, but I’ll say it anyway. He’d love her. He’d love her for her. But he’d also love her for you.”
Hale rolled his neck.
Then, “Right.”
He hung up on Vaughan and called Paul.
Paul probably hadn’t even gotten around the block. He’d dropped Hale off at his apartment in New York barely five minutes ago.
But now, they were going to Brooklyn.
CHAPTER27
TRIGGERED
Hale
The worst possible person opened the door to David Cohen’s Brooklyn brownstone.
Oskar.
“You’ve got some fucking nerve,” Oskar stated on seeing him, stepping out on the stoop aggressively, forcing Hale down a few steps as he did, and closing the door behind him.
“I’d like to speak to Elsa,” Hale said, making himself do it calmly.
“No shit?” Oskar asked. “Now, do you seriously think I’m going to let you anywhere near my sister?”
“I can understand you being angry—”
“You can?” Oskar sneered. “You got my sister slashed then you broke her heart after you led her on for fuckingmonths, Wheeler. I don’t think you understandshit.”
It was good to know, when it came to the crunch, Oskar had his sister’s back.
Even if it was frustrating as fuck right now.
“I’m asking you, Oskar, please let me speak to Elsa.”
As he was saying this, the door opened, and David walked out.
Another blow, seeing the angry and disappointed look on David’s face.
