“Did you think I was dumb enough to come here without backup? Without proof?”
He tsked, shaking his head at her.
He was pretty sure if he had super hearing he’d be hearing a lot of teeth-gnashing right now. There was only one person who seemed to find the situation amusing and he hadn’t moved from his spot by the window.
Kai took out his phone and hit the play button.
“His family took out that hit.”
Hearing Isaac’s voice had him fighting against clenching his hands into fists. He was so fucking glad that fucker was dead.
“He pissed off his whole family?”
“The shit he’d gotten himself into would’ve torn apart their business and their lives.”
When Phoebe opened her mouth, Kai held up a finger to halt her.
“Killing that senator was merely a band-aid on an open wound. He was losing control of everything. His sister saw it coming, so she came to me. He would’ve taken us all down with him.”
He lowered the phone.
“So. Is that proof enough for you?” he asked.
One of the other men pulled his gun and aimed it at Phoebe.
“You’d better start talking,” he snapped.
Oh, the world was coming crashing down around Phoebe.
“He was a fucking leech. He was taking us all down with him,” she screeched. “I couldn’t let him do that. I had to get rid of him.”
“You don’t get rid of family,” Joseph said, darkness in his voice. “Not unless I say so.”
Jesus. What a family. It was a wonder that they managed to appear normal out in public.
Phoebe tried to protest, but with a nod of his head, Joseph had two men grabbing her. They took her gun away from her and dragged her out of the room. To her credit, she didn’t scream or plead. He doubted there was any point.
He didn’t know what Joseph would do to her, but he also didn’t really care. The people he loved had almost died because of her.
“What do we do about him?” Someone asked with a nod toward Kai.
“We should just kill him,” Caleb said.
They all turned toward Kai and from the dark looks in their eyes, he knew having backup had been a very good idea. Thank you, Digger.
“You do that, and you’ll be spending the rest of your lives in prison,” Kai said with a shrug.
Caleb huffed out a laugh.
“You really think we’re dumb enough to get caught?”
Kai blinked at him. “You were dumb enough to trust Isaac.”
Caleb pulled out a nasty-looking knife and made it two steps toward Kai before the sound of glass shattering filled the room and a bullet splintered the floor right in front of him.
“Forgot about that, did you?”
Thank fuck he was good at pretending to be calm and collected.
