I’m leaning towardit worked. But I’m not quite willing to bet my life on it.

Not yet.

Cassandra lifts her head from my shoulder, seeing the same thing I do.

A chain link fence, with a gate padlocked shut.

CHAPTER68

Cassie

Hans slowsas he pulls the truck off the road to the right, then turns the wheel and makes a U-turn before backing the truck up to the gate.

He puts the truck in park, then turns toward me.

His eyes bore into mine. The night’s darkness hides the color but not the intensity.

I think he might say something, but instead, he grips my face and presses his lips firmly against mine.

“I’ll be five seconds.”

Then he’s out of the truck.

Twisting, I watch him run the few steps to the tailgate and yank it down. He slaps something I can’t see, and the cover on the bed retracts, swiftly rolling up and disappearing into another hidden compartment.

Hans grips the end of the body bag and drags it to him, then hoists it onto his shoulder like it’s a bag of pet food and not an entire man.

Without ceremony, Hans turns and practically throws the body over the locked gate. Then he slams the tailgate shut and rushes back to the driver’s seat.

Unlike the drive out here, Hans doesn’t drive at a sedate pace. He speeds back down the gravel road, causing plumes of dust to follow us.

He hardly slows when we reach the main road, but he doesn’t lose control on the turn, and when the tires catch on the smooth pavement, he floors it.

CHAPTER69

Hans

I pickmy phone up and open my contacts.

Here goes nothing.

I hit A1.

This is the last man on the list I’d want my Butterfly calling, but also the first choice for tonight. Because he feels like someone who will act immediately and save the thinking for later.

As the ringing fills the cabin, I place my hand on Cassandra’s lap, and she grips it with both of her own.

CHAPTER70

Nero

Sitting against the headboard,I look at the notification on my phone.

What the fuck?

Then the screen changes, showing a call from an unknown number.

Extra what the fuck. That shouldn’t be possible.
