Chapter 9

Victor rubbed his hands together, trying to ward off the iciness that threatened to numb his fingers. The cacophony of voices and conversations happening around his and Mark’s booth in the diner didn’t seem to calm his nerves.

Mark’s eyes widened with his apparent concern. “You okay?”

Victor gazed at him and frowned. “I’m so sorry.”

“Sorry about what?”

“For bringing you into this mess. If I hadn’t offered to drive you home last night and spend the night at your place, then you would have never gotten that black eye, nor would you have been dragged into this. Now you’re in as much danger as I am.”

Mark placed his hand over Victor’s. His warm touch soothed the chill. “The black eye is a minor inconvenience. Relax. Look around you.” Mark scoped out the restaurant with his hand, then grinned. “We’re safe. The killer can’t get us here. And besides, who says we were even followed from your place.”

Victor snorted and raised his voice. “Why don’t you believe me when I say I can feel him watching? I’m not paranoid!”

“Shhh.” Mark motioned with his open hands in the air and then looked around to see if anyone was watching from the neighboring tables and booths. But Victor saw no one was. “I never said you’re paranoid. I believe you that your father was murdered, that the killer took his body away and stole the laptop. And he is probably searching for you, too, since you saw his face.”

Victor corrected, “I couldn’t make out much with his hood pulled up. It covered most of his face. All I saw were his red eyes.”

Mark shrugged. “I’m pretty sure that was your eyes playing tricks on you. There was blood all around, so it makes sense his eyes would have seemed red.”

Victor wanted to argue, tell him what else he thought he saw, the killer lapping blood from his father’s slit neck, but Mark was already on the border of disbelief now. Adding that bizarre, unbelievable, and gory tidbit would send him over the edge and out of here. Victor couldn’t have that. What if the killer was out there now waiting? What if he came after Mark next, like he threatened to do in his nightmare in the car? No, he needed Mark with him, to protect him. And as much as he didn’t care to admit it to himself, he needed him to give him strength. If it weren’t for Mark and his supporting shoulder all this time, Victor doubted he would have made it this far without breaking down. In a matter of less than a day, Mark had become Victor’s anchor, his voice of reason, his friend, and so much more.

Victor couldn’t help but feel, as he stared at the handsome and sexy man before him, that somehow they were lost souls and kindred spirits who had found their way to one another. Fate, no matter how grim, had brought them together, and he didn’t want to lose him or ruin what was building between them.
