“Now, let me make this very clear for you.” Kai slid his hands into his pockets. “If you try anything right now, he will kill you. If you try anything at any other time, including hurting the people I care about, I will release all the evidence Isaac collected on you for years.”
Oh, they did not like that at all. Well, sucked for them.
A cacophony of beeping phones made everyone jumpy.
“That’s a little preview of what we have on you.”
They’d all been sent a video. Isaac had been a sick piece of shit, but he hadn’t been dumb. He’d recorded every single conversation. Every single hit he’d carried out for them. It had been his fail-safe.
“And if you think getting rid of me will make this go away, you’re very wrong. Someone you will never get to, is sitting on all that evidence. They’ll release it if anything ever happens to me or my family.”
“How do we know you won’t just release it anyway?” Joseph asked.
Kai shrugged. “I guess you’ll have to trust that I want to put all this behind me. Call off the hit and leave me alone and we won’t have a problem.”
Joseph met Kai’s gaze, anger burning in his eyes as he ground out, “You have a deal.”
Steel
He was antsy right until the second he could wrap his arms around Kai and pull him close. He buried his face in Kai’s hair and squeezed his eyes shut.
“I’m fine,” Kai mumbled against Steel’s chest.
“Let’s never do that again,” Steel said.
Kai pulled back and gave him a tight smile as he nodded.
“Agreed.”
His phone buzzed in his back pocket. He pulled it out, a relieved sigh escaping him when he saw Auggie’s text.
“The hit has been called off.”
“Good. We still won’t be safe for a while, though.”
“I know,” Steel said with a nod.
There could still be some stragglers who may not know the hit was called off.
“I also need to do something else,” Kai said, sounding a bit hesitant.
Steel’s brows snapped together.
“What?”
“I need to see Isaac’s replacement.”
“No. Absolutely not.”
Kai sighed, which only pissed him off more.
“You’re not putting yourself in more danger. Fuck, no.”
“He won’t hurt me. I just need to talk to him.”
“Why?”
“He’s the one who gave Nic the evidence from Isaac,” Kai said, making Steel curse.
