CHAPTER TWELVE

Mason

Colin. There was no doubt in my mind for even a second who was behind this. It could only be Colin, probably with the help of his buddies from Victory Holdings.

“Whoa,” Hayden spoke beside me, gazing around at the wreck of my apartment in awe. “I mean, just…whoa.”

Whoa was an understatement. I took a few steps farther into the room only to have broken glass crunch under my feet. I’d paid a company to decorate the apartment before I got there, and one of the large, framed prints they’d put up on the wall had been yanked down and its glass broken. The rest of it leaned against the edge of the torn-up sofa a few feet away, like someone had checked to see whether anything was hidden somewhere in the frame.

“Somebody was clearly looking for something,” Hayden said, stepping forward to join me. “Or else they were really, really drunk or high.”

Colin wasn’t looking for anything. Or, at least, that hadn’t been his primary motivation. He might have tried to make it look like he was searching for either information or prototypes of my security tech, but really, he was trying to scare me.

“They weren’t high or drunk,” I said, picking my way over to the kitchen area, which was just as much of a mess, with ripped open cereal boxes, coffee grounds everywhere, and the fridge hanging open with its contents spilled out. “They were sending a message.”

“And what message was that?” Hayden asked following me as I kicked aside debris and made a path for us. “That they really, really hate you?”

I paused and turned back to him, knowing I looked stern and alpha-scary. “Yeah, that’s more or less what it is.”

Hayden’s expression registered surprise. “I was just joking, but clearly you’re not,” he said.

I nodded grimly, looking around at the trashed space. “My ex business partner wasn’t happy about me dissolving our previous company and setting out on my own.”

“So he did this to show you how pissed off he is?” Hayden said, picking up a half-smashed coffee cup by its handle where it sat in a puddle of damp sugar from the container that had been knocked over.

I sighed and rubbed a hand over my face, the initial shock of witnessing Colin’s revenge starting to subside. I pulled my phone out of my back pocket. “It’s more complicated than that,” I said, tapping to activate my phone and dialing 9-1-1.

“What, were you two lovers or something?” Hayden asked warily.

Emergency Services answered immediately, so all I could do was shake my head at Hayden before I had to launch into an explanation of the nature of my emergency. Unfortunately, I had to say some pretty unnerving things in front of Hayden.

“I have reason to believe that it isn’t an ordinary break-in,” I told the dispatcher. “I’ve been in the process of separating from a former business partner, and his new associates, I believe, are involved in mafia activity. This could be more serious than a couple of cat burglars.
