My hometown.
My empire…
Our empire.
I’m on the cusp of achieving everything I’ve been working toward. It’s right there, I can almost taste it.
All I need is a location and we can go and take Victor out.
He’s playing with us, though. If that weren’t obvious the night he sent Razor to his death, then tonight it was.
Kurt wouldn’t have allowed himself to get caught that easily.
He was following orders.
Orders that you can’t refuse when they come from the mighty Victor Harris.
He wants Alana.
That’s the only thing I can figure out.
He wants us weak, and he knows that she’s the thing that’ll shatter us. I want to say that’s the only reason why he got an innocent child involved, but sadly, that’s not the case. He doesn’t give a shit who he hurts as long as he gets his way.
But he’s losing control. With his two right-hand men out of action, everything is slipping away from him.
Pulling my cell from my pocket, I stare at the dark screen.
My heart pounds and my hand trembles with fury at the thought of pinpointing where he is.
Unlocking the screen, I open up a recent chat thread.
I hesitate with my thumb over the keyboard.
I didn’t want to do this. But I’ve been left with no choice.
This has to end.
We’re not just thinking about Alana now, we’ve got Kristie and Daisy to consider.
Staying in hiding and waiting for the right time is the wrong thing to do.
We need to act. And we need to act fast.
Reid: It’s time.
I blow out a long breath as it shows that it’s been delivered. But it’s long minutes before it shows as read. And even fucking longer before I get any kind of response.
The door behind me is pushed open as I stand there staring at the screen, waiting, hoping.
I don’t need to turn around to know who it is. I sense her.
Light footsteps move closer to me before a delicate pair of hands land on my sides and wrap around my waist.
She rests her head between my shoulder blades as she breathes me in.
“Are you okay?” she whispers.
No one else would notice. But she does. She always fucking notices and I’ve no idea how I feel about it.
