Chapter Sixteen

X

I had a hundred thousand dollars in a case in the back of my truck.

I didn’t feel comfortable carrying this stupid amount of cash around with me, but what choice did I have? If Mickey Five Fingers came up with his side of the agreement, we’d have twice that amount. If anyone tried to mug me now and got away with it, they’d be damn happy when they discovered what they’d stolen.

Not that I was going to let anyone mug me.

I was driving again, heading back to Vee’s father’s house. I was right on time, and so expected Mickey Five Finger’s to either be there waiting for me, or to arrive shortly.

I’d met the man before, but only for a matter of minutes. He’d handed me the photograph of Vee then—the same one that had captured my heart, and led to me obsessing over her. He’d also given me her address in Witness Protection, the place where she worked, and the money it cost to kill her.

Would I have ever gone through with it? I thought back to finding Tony the Hound’s men already at her house. Having to kill the men had interrupted me, and given Vee the chance to attack. What if they hadn’t been there? Would I have ended up killing Vee? I didn’t think so. Even though I told myself I’d been going to the house to complete the job, I’d really only been going there to get closer to her. Perhaps I’d hoped for someone to interrupt me. I was glad they had now, despite the events that had followed.

I reached Vee’s father’s house and pulled up outside the gate. This time I didn’t need to get out and press the buzzer. The gates rolled open without anyone questioning who I was and what I was doing there. A different car sat in the driveway—a large black Mercedes. It reminded me of the type of car from a funeral procession. I didn’t take that as a good omen.

Pulling my truck up beside the flashy vehicle, I switched off the engine and climbed out. I debated what to do with the case containing the cash. I didn’t want to leave it, but it wasn’t as though I could trust Mickey Five Fingers either. Problem was, I was going to have to trust Vee’s father, at least for the next twenty-four hours. I picked up the case, deciding to take it with me.

The front door opened, revealing Mickey Five Fingers standing in the doorway. He was immaculately dressed in an expensive dark gray suit. He must have been in his late forties, but he looked good for it, and I would have guessed early to mid-forties at the most. He stared at me with eyes that appeared almost black. His thin mouth was unsmiling.

“Now, there’s a man I wasn’t expecting to see again,” he said. “At least, not alive.”

I wasn’t sure what the protocol was for meeting the father of your pregnant girlfriend, the same father who had paid me to have her killed.
