Chapter Twelve

‘Do you think they know you’re staying here?’ Leo said later that evening.

We sat around the table on the patio. Virgo and Derek had managed to get home safely.

‘No, I’m sure they would’ve come here by now if they knew we were here.’ Matt picked up his beer and took a swig. Leo nodded without replying.

I glanced sideways at my soulmate.

‘Don’t you think it’s time that you told us more about Nick?’ Virgo asked.

Matt glared at her but she ignored him. She wasn’t the type of person to back down quickly. If she wanted to know something, she would ask outright. ‘Come on, you might as well tell us. If you’re going to be with Cancer for the rest of your life, you need to help the rest of us, too.’

Matt sat forward, leaning his arms on his thighs. He wore jogging bottoms, which had shocked me. I had never seen him wear casual clothes before. It made a nice change to see him comfortable. He had been tense ever since we had landed.

‘Okay, I’ll tell you about Nick.’ He downed his drink and gestured at Leo to hand him another one.

Leo did as he was told, sitting straighter as he prepared to listen to what Matt had to say. His six foot five bulk only just fitted in the garden chair. Matt slouched against his seat, looking small because his shoulders were slumped.

‘Nick’s rage is unlike anything I’ve ever seen. It’s as if the more he hates, the more powerful he gets.’ Matt reached over and took my hand. ‘When I first met him, I was about 10 years old. My father sneaked out of the house most evenings. My mother told me that he had an important job. She believed that what he did was worthwhile.’

I squeezed his fingers in mine. He stared at the bottle of beer in his other hand.

‘One day, my father ordered me to go with him. I was so excited, believing that I would finally know what he did. Nick was kind to me, very kind. He gave me sweets and spoke to me like an adult. We were in one of his houses in the middle of London.’

He closed his eyes briefly, swallowing before opening them again. We stared at him, waiting for him to go on. We were fascinated by what he could tell us. We knew that our father had spoken to him about Nick but they hadn’t shared the information.

‘In the house, there were rooms full of computer screens. Some of the monitors had photos of you lot on them, some of them had videos playing. You know, CCTV from when you were growing up. He watched you for many years. In fact, he made us watch you, too. He told us that you were the enemy, and one day, we would have the chance to ruin your lives. Looking back now, I see how bad it was.’ Letting go of me, he rubbed his eyes with the balls of his palm.
