Chapter 21

MORANA IMMEDIATELY NOTICED that the back door was open a few inches. With Thane on his way down to the sub-lair and given his desperate request, Morana ignored his order to stay out of the house. She pulled her gun and cleared the backyard before crossing to the back corner of the house. She sidestepped to the open door and waited, listening. Footsteps scuffed inside, from one of the rooms beyond the kitchen.

She eased the door open with her foot and stepped inside, clearing the kitchen.

As she crept to the hallway entrance, the footsteps stopped. Something crashed to the floor around the corner. Morana lunged into the hallway aiming at a figure standing in the den.

“Not a move!” she shouted.

“No! Wait! Don’t shoot!” Clay dropped his phone and raised his hands.

“What the hell are you doing?” Morana said, lowering the gun.

“God, you scared the shit out of me!” Clay said, he clutched his chest, catching his breath.

“You chose a horrible time to break into Thane’s place.”

“I didn’t break in. The front door was unlocked, so I came in looking for you and Thane. Where were you?”

“We have to go.” She took his arm and dragged him toward the front door.

“But where are we going?”

“We had Waylon, but he’s on the run again.” She showed Clay the key. “Thane got him to give up his key so he’s on foot and we need to catch up to him.” She opened the front door.

Clay followed. He looked at the key, turning it over a few times.

“Hurry up,” Morana said, holding the door for him.

Clay said, “But this is a BMW key.”

“So?”

“He didn’t drive here in his BMW, he has the Mercedes.”

“How do you know?”

“Because I already told you he drives a red Mercedes and I tagged his car with a GPS tracker on my way in. I’ll show you…” They went outside and stopped on the porch. They scanned the street. Clay frowned. “It was parked right there a few minutes ago.” He pointed to an empty place at the curb.

“You’ve got to be kidding me,” Morana said.

Clay walked toward the empty place at the curb. “I’m telling you the red Mercedes was parked right there. I checked the VIN to confirm it.” He pulled out his phone.

“Shit!” Morana said, kicking the porch banister.

“Wait a minute,” Clay said, looking at his phone. “It might not matter. The tracker app is working,” Clay said, tapping on his phone. “He’s on Cumber Street headed south. Let’s go.”

Dusk settled in as they sped from Thane’s house. “Maybe now you can tell me why the hell we’re chasing this guy,” Clay said.

Morana told Clay about Thane’s years of abuse at Waylon’s hand. She told him about Thane’s recent attempt to confront Waylon at the job fair and how it only succeeded in rekindling Waylon’s abuse. Finally, she alluded to the hidden labyrinth Thane had created beneath his garage.

“You’re saying there’s no way to detect this place even when you’re standing in the garage?” Clay asked.

Morana laughed.
