Chapter Eight

It took several hours, but one by one, my friends arrived. No one understood me like they did. No one accepted me like they did. They were my best friends, my only friends really. These were the guys I depended on when trouble came knocking.

Trouble had basically kicked in the door.

Ian Travers was the first to arrive. I was surprised my cousin Hank wasn’t with him, but apparently, the man had to go back to his duties in the Marines.

Kaito Hayashi arrived next, laptop and homework in hand. He had been attending college for so long, I had often wondered if he was a professional student.

Danny Jenkins stumbled in during the wee hours of the morning. That he had left the safety of his brownstone on the Harvard University campus was a miracle in itself. Danny didn’t like leaving familiar surroundings.

For me, he had.

Ewan Callaghan was the last to arrive, having to travel all the way from London, England. By the time he stepped into my apartment, I had appraised the others of my situation and we were well underway to trying to track Cooper down.

After Ian checked with Hank and discovered Cooper hadn’t reported in for his last check-in, and adding in the fresh blood I had smelled in the corridor outside my apartment, the general consensus was that he had been kidnapped.

After hugging Ewan and thanking him for coming, I quickly filled him in on my emergency call. By the time I was done, Ewan’s eyes were wide.

“Geez, Andrew,” he said. “I thought you were going to be the easygoing one of us.”

Yeah, no.

I shrugged. I really had no idea what to tell Ewan. I hadn’t planned on things going nuclear. It just kind of happened that way.

Story of my life.

“Tell me about this Cavetti guy.”

“I’ve only met him a couple of times, but he’s become fixated on me for some reason.”

“How so?” Ian asked as he stepped over to us.

“I can’t really explain, but we met the night I rescued Cooper from him. I didn’t see him for a couple of weeks. I was attending a party set up by my manager. I didn’t know Cavetti was hosting the party at the time, or I never would have attended.”

“Did you insult him or something?” Ewan asked.

“I don’t think so, but what do I know? I’m not a mobster.”

“Cavetti is a mobster?” Ian snapped.

Uh…

“I’m not exactly sure what he is. I know Cooper was sent to find out what happened to a couple of servicemen who went missing after attending a party Cavetti was hosting. There’s been no sign of them since that night. Other than letting me know that, Cooper wouldn’t discuss his investigation with me. Every time I asked, Cooper told me we’d talk about it later, but we never did. I have no idea if Cavetti is a mobster or not, but it sure seems that way.”

He sure had the thugs for it.

“And you think he’s the one who took Cooper?” Ewan asked.

“Again, I can’t be sure, but I’d lay money on it.
