COMING TO TERMS

“Talk to me,” I snap into my phone in lieu of any pleasantries.

“Boss,” Parks says in his usual respectful yet reserved voice. “I think I’ve found something on your mystery man.”

“Do you think, or do you know? I’m in no mood for fruitless bullshit,” I reply, rubbing my thumb deep into my temple.

“I’d say there’s a ninety percent chance I’ve found him,” he replies, and my interest is piqued.

“Are you going to tell me before we get old and fucking die?”

“Yes, Boss, of course,” he replies, and I almost feel bad for being such an ass, but that thought quickly fades as he starts speaking again. “Though he was never affiliated officially with any of the various organizations, he was a hired man and worked for several of them. As far as I can tell, he’s related to the Kents, but only by marriage and only through William and Harold’s mother.”

“Where is he?” I ask because I couldn’t give a fuck less about any of that. I just want his ass on the other end of my fucking gun—while he talks, of course.

Parks takes a pause before he answers, which doesn’t endear him to me any, but I wait patiently. “Funnily enough, Miami.”

“That is interesting,” I say, mostly to myself. My mind is already spinning through ideas, even though I don’t have the full details yet. “Go on.”

“He’s in a high-end elderly resort. Seems he had a stroke about ten years ago, and he’s been switched around to a few different facilities. He just landed at this one last week.”

He pauses, and my mind is quick to make the leap. “A new facility may not recognize all the different family members who may visit.”

“That’s my thought, Boss. Would you like me to make contact?” he asks.

An evil chuckle escapes before I can stop it. “Oh, no. I’ll take it from here. You need to double check, because if my trip turns out to be worthless … do I even need to finish this?”

“You make your arrangements. I wouldn’t have called if I wasn’t confident,” he replies, and I do believe there’s a hint of a challenge in his voice.

If I were in a better mood, I might toy with him a bit more, but as it is … I just don’t give a fuck. “Then it’s a done deal. Email me the information.”

I toss my phone on the desk and lean back, several scenarios flooding my mind. My blood is zinging in my veins and thundering in my ears. This is usually when the monster is salivating at his bars, but that motherfucker hasn’t made a sound in the past two days.

For fucking once, he knows better.

After Piper left the other day, I laid in my bed, waiting for Ivan to show up and say, “I told you so,” but he never did. I spent the rest of the night and into the next day in and out of consciousness. Sometimes I buried myself in the night Piper and I spent together, and sometimes I suffered through the last time I saw her.
