IF THEY DIDN’T get Lucy Ryan and permanently shut her mouth soon, not only would his career be ended, but he would see the inside of a cell at the very least. He didn’t intend for that to happen. He’d never intended to commit multiple murders in the first place, but what was done was done. He couldn’t go back and change things now.

It was all that little bitch Theresa Vaughn’s fault.

He stared at his bodyguards. They both stood there, unable to face him. Walter was checking his nails, while Phil was wiping some invisible speck of dirt off his damn shoe.

“What do you mean, you can’t find her?” he demanded, trying to keep his blood pressure from rising sky-high. “I got you the name and address that goes with the license plate number, didn’t I? Do I need to draw you a map?”

“We found the place, boss,” Phil said. “I’m telling you, she took a powder.”

Walter added, “She was gone when we got there. Her roommate, too.”

So they’d just given up and come back here to report to him. He poured himself a bourbon and tossed it back. The liquor burned its way into his gut, calming him some.

“Did it occur to you that she might return?” he asked, trying like hell to keep his voice reasonable.

His bodyguards looked at each other and shrugged.

“Well, why am I surprised?” he muttered to himself. “I want that place watched 24/7, do you understand? One of you is to be on it at all times.”

“Sure thing, boss,” Phil said. “We’re gonna be right on it now.”

“Good. Don’t let her slip through her fingers again or—”

“Or what?” Walter asked with a glimmer in his eyes that looked like a counterthreat.

“Or we’ll all suffer the consequences,” he said. “We were seen together, so we’ll all be held responsible. Don’t forget that.”

It wouldn’t do to rile Walter, especially. He had a vicious temper. Plus, he needed them to cooperate, to help him find Lucy Ryan.

He needed them to finish her off.

He wouldn’t rest until they did.
