Hunter

Nothing happened during the night and as far as we know, Carrie slept well, or so I overheard her telling Gia.

Carrie certainly looks much better this morning with no bags under her eyes and she seems to be able to eat a bit more than she had been able to the night before. I wish I could say the same for Julian who hasn’t said a damn word to anyone, other than a grunted, ‘morning’ to Gia. It’s his own damn fault that he’s suffering, but hopefully that was the kick in the ass he needed to finally do something about Parker, at least I’m hoping so because he’s too distracted at the moment and I need him focused.

My own distraction is very slowly moving her hand along my thigh, which I catch under one of my own. I lean in and whisper, “Behave,” before placing a kiss to her cheek.

“How long have you been married?” Carrie asks.

“Ten months,” Gia answers, turning to smile at the other woman.

With a wistful sigh, Carrie says, “I hope to have what the two of you have one day.” Her smile disappears. “But I’m not sure if anyone will want me now.”

Silence follows her statement, which is broken when Gia moves to sit beside Carrie. “Don’t think like that. You’ve done what you have because you went looking for your sister, and most of what was done, you didn’t have a choice. If he’s the right man then that won’t matter to him…he’ll be pissed on your behalf.”

Carrie looks at Gia with tears rolling down her face while she attempts to smile. “Thank you.”

Clearing my throat, I break up the small talk because I need more from Carrie in order to move forward, and before I put in a call to Colin for someone to come and get her.

I hold my hand out to Gia, who lets me tug her up and back into her chair. I brush the hair down her back, and look at Carrie. “Last night, you said that we were both after the same man…what makes you think that?” I watch a muscle tick in her jaw as she clenches her teeth together.

“Abatangelo’s name was in all the national newspapers after he’d been apprehended in Lexington, and then he’d escaped and word was going around that his organization had been kept going while he was in jail… my sister went missing from the University of Texas, he had a known business that was easy to find if you went looking.” Carrie takes a sip of the coffee, which has probably gone cold by now.

“He sold it eight months ago to a known associate. I followed Matthew Long for over a week until the night I went to sleep, and woke in a different place, roped to a bed.” She shudders. “He never laid a hand on me…but others did… When they thought I was unconscious, I heard them talking and they mentioned their boss and Abatangelo’s name came up a few times.
