Chapter Thirty-Three

Hunter

“So, it’s done.”

Knight just grunted in response. He had been quiet since we left the senator’s house. Of course, he was always silent, but this was worse. I had no clue what was going on in his head right now, and there was very little chance he would tell me.

“What are we going to do about Arrington?”

“We aren’t going to do anything.”

“I’m already here.”

“You really want to go after a guy running for President?” he snaps. “I’m sure Lucy would love that.”

“If you can do it, so can I.”

“That excuse isn’t going to fly with her. Besides, this one will be dangerous.”

“And the others weren’t?”

He shot me a look saying that those were cake walks. I knew it was true. A presidential candidate would have security. It wouldn’t be easy to get to him, but that compelled me all the more to stick it out with Knight. I didn’t want him getting shot because he wanted revenge.

“Not like this, and you know it.”

“And how are you planning on getting in there?”

“I’ll do what I always do. I’ll watch and plan. When I see my opportunity, I’ll take it.”

“Knight, you can’t-”

“Would you just leave me the fuck alone?” he snapped. He jerked the wheel of the truck over into the parking lot of the motel and shifted into park. “I don’t want your help. I didn’t ask you to come along on this. This is my revenge.”

I shook my head with a sigh. “Knight, have you even really processed that she’s gone?”

“You walked in on me. You tell me.”

“That’s not the same thing. Yeah, that one time you were fucked up. But now, you’re just running on revenge. You’re not sad or anything.”

“So, I’m not grieving the death of my wife properly? Is that what you’re saying? How the fuck should I be acting? What would you have me do right now?”

“I don’t know, man. Just allow yourself to feel it.”

He scoffed, his hand tightening around the steering wheel. “I do feel it. Every fucking day. All those people are dead because I feel it. I don’t know what you expect from me. Should I be back at Reed Security right now, crying on your shoulder? Or maybe it would be better if I just sat around drinking.”

“I’m not saying you should be doing anything. It’s just…when I walked in on you that night, you were broken, and since then, you’re just blank.”

“Because I feel blank.”

This was different. It was like he was pushing Kate aside. He still brought her up with every kill, but she wasn’t at the forefront anymore. It was like he had put her in a box and decided that he wasn’t going to acknowledge her death. She was gone, but he wasn’t going to think about it.

He flung his door open and stepped out. “You did your job. You came and made sure that I was alright. Now go home to your wife and kids.”

He slammed the door and went into the motel room, leaving me in the truck.
