Chapter Thirteen

Luke

Scarlett and I didn’t speak of the video, the Warriors or Jeremiah again. We spent four days on the river, savoring each other and pretending like her confession hadn’t happened.

But it was on my mind. Our minds.

I wasn’t the kind of man who made wishes, but if I had one to make, it would be to stay here. Stay on the river with her forever and let the outside world disappear.

It wouldn’t. But . . . I wished.

Because I couldn’t ignore what I’d seen on that video. The violence. The murder.

And Ken Raymond. The man who’d been tied to the chair.

His face had been so bloodied and swollen, it had taken me nearly the entire length of the video to put it together. But toward the end, one of the Warriors had grabbed a fistful of Ken’s hair, tipping his face to the ceiling. And there had been a birthmark, a purple circle about the size of a dime, on the underside of Ken’s jaw.

My gut had been right. When Ken had been found on the riverbank and we’d learned his home was in Ashton, I’d worried there might be a connection to the Warriors. Now there was.

They’d murdered him. Those fuckers had murdered him and deserved to pay. But why kill him? What was his connection to the gang? What had he done to deserve that beating?

He hadn’t died in the chair. Scarlett had left Ashton about two weeks before Ken’s body had been discovered. The Warriors had made sure to keep Ken alive and breathing so that when they tossed him into the river, his lungs would fill with water. His cause of death had been drowning, but only because someone had thrown him into the river in the first place.

The river’s beating had hidden the injuries from the Warriors. The autopsy hadn’t been exact, but the coroner had estimated Ken had spent multiple days in the water before washing to shore. Hell, maybe they’d let him heal up a bit so he’d been awake when they shoved him into the icy water. Sick bastards.

Ken had managed an indoor shooting range and gun shop in Ashton. Maybe that had been his link to the Warriors. Maybe he’d been into drugs. According to the autopsy, there hadn’t been any substances in his system, but all of my assumptions had flown out the window the minute I’d watched that video.

Did the Warriors know Scarlett had been there? Was that why they’d been in Clifton Forge? Or were they clueless and still hunting her because of Jeremiah’s stolen drugs?

My guess was the latter. If they knew that Scarlett had evidence that could send them to prison, they wouldn’t have been so docile in their visits. They would have torn my town apart to find her because Tucker Talbot wouldn’t go down without a fight.

Prison was exactly where a motherfucker like Tucker Talbot deserved to rot for the rest of his life.

Scarlett had the video to make that happen.

Except giving it to the FBI would mean she’d lose everything.
