Chapter Seven

Elijah

I knew it. I knew things were too good to last. How had all my searches come up empty while that little bitch was right in my backyard the whole time? But I had to keep my shit together and go back inside that courtroom and make sure justice was served for Hannah.

And what was that all about?

Did she get a call from her sister? Was her dad having another heart attack? She just got in that cab and drove away. Although, I had to admit, my head was so far up my own ass in that moment, she might have told me what was going on and I simply didn’t remember.

“All right, man, get your shit together. One step at a time here.” I muttered the encouragement to myself and rubbed the tension from my forehead. “Go back inside and listen to the sentence.” I turned on my heel and started walking back toward the building. I felt like I was losing my damn mind. For fuck’s sake, I was pacing in front of the county courthouse, talking to myself. And the craziest part of the entire scenario? Not a single passerby gave me a second look.

When these proceedings were over, I needed to call Bas and Grant. It was time to rally the troops. Hopefully their women would let them out on a weeknight.

As suspected, Shawna was given six months minus time served, which only amounted to about seventy-two hours for breaking and entering my home. Because she had a spotless record, extensive education, and long list of volunteer gigs in the community, her sentence was reduced to one year of court-approved community service less time served.

In other words, complete bullshit. I was kind of glad Hannah wasn’t there to hear this in person. At least I could break it to her gently or sugarcoat it somehow. But where did she go?

I pulled out my phone and looked at the screen again, figuring she would have texted me by now to tell me what was going on, but the screen was still empty. No text messages, no voicemails, and not a single email from her either. This was not like her at all. Something was going on.

At least my two most threatening enemies to her were still in this room with me. Right where I could see them.

When I looked up, they were both staring at me, as if my thoughts had attracted their attention. But in reality, the last thing I wanted was attention from either of those two sirens. Shawna kept her eyes laser focused on me while leaning closer to Hensley and saying something exclusively for her ears.

My ex looked good. I’d be lying if I said she didn’t. Like most females, pregnancy had left her with a woman’s body. Delicious curves where there used to be none, and fuller, heavier breasts that advertised the woman was healthy and fertile.

Hensley let a devious smile—one I was much too familiar with—spread across her lips. A smile that ran the blood in my veins cold.
