CHAPTER38
Kate
I saw Grayson and Simon standing in the living room when I stepped through the front door.
“Where the fuck were you?” Grayson shouted.
“Calm down, Grayson.” I patted his chest, walked over to the bar, and poured myself a whiskey.
“Don’t you dare tell me to calm down, Kate. I’ve been trying to call and text Ava all day.”
“I know, and it was annoying, so I turned the phone off.”
“Wow, Kate.” Simon smiled. “I like your style.”
“Thanks, detective.” I downed my drink and poured another.
“Answer my question, Kate. Why are you here, and where were you?”
“Taking care of Claudia. You don’t have to worry about her anymore.”
“Oh shit. What did you do?” Simon asked with a sigh.
“Don’t worry. I didn’t hurt her. As much as I wanted to, I restrained myself. I put her on a one-way trip back to Boston.”
“Okay. Good idea.” Simon nodded his head.
“And she just voluntarily went?” Grayson narrowed his eyes at me.
“This helped.” I pulled my knife from my back pocket.”
“Jesus Christ.” Grayson ran his hand through his hair.
“Oh, stop it. She’s gone, and that’s all that matters. She will never contact you again. So, you can cancel that restraining order.”
“Well, cousin.” Simon walked over and patted Grayson’s back. “Kate took care of her legally, and you have nothing to worry about. I have to get home. I can’t wait to tell Grace about this.” He grinned.
“See you later, detective.” I waved. “I do believe you owe me a thank you, Dr. Kind.”
“I don’t like what you did, but thank you.”
“You’re welcome.” I downed my drink and closed my eyes.

Grayson
“Grayson?” Ava opened her eyes. “Oh shit.” She looked down at her clothing and then pulled off her wig. “What did she do?”
I walked over and wrapped my arms around her.
“She sent Claudia back to Boston,” I said as I held her tight. “Like you said, we have a Kate.” I couldn’t help but chuckle.
She broke our embrace and stared at me. “Why do I have the taste of whiskey in my mouth? Was she drinking?”
“She poured herself a couple of glasses when she came home.”
“Ugh. She knows I hate that stuff. So, Claudia is really gone? She didn’t hurt her, did she?”
