Chapter Twenty-One

Ellie

I left my flat in a daze, letting Daniel lead me back to his car and I noticed absently that the windows were still steamed up. Daniel muttered and grumbled to himself, every so often I’d hear some sort of expletive being cursed under his breath.

I certainly didn’t claim to know him very well, but I could feel exactly how seriously pissed he was about this.

Me? I was shellshocked. Even when Ryan had managed to ring up thousands of dollars of debts to the Doyle’s, they’d threatened to beat the shit out of him, but never openly threatened to kill him… or had I been too naive? No wonder Ryan did what he did.

Firstly I had made my peace with what I thought I was going to do by giving Denver the file, who I now knew for certain was part of the Doyle’s. That’s every bit as bad as what they’d made Ryan do - except I can’t get caught as he'd been.

Now I’d managed to go full circle, so instead of helping one mafia group, I’m helping another. The Kindred Sons were still Irish Mafia, no matter how you dressed them up.

How long before they find out about you and you get two death threats, eh, KATE?

I shook my head to clear my critic away. I couldn’t think like that or I wouldn’t live long enough to regret it.

Daniel must have noticed my head shaking, as he placed a comforting hand on my leg as he drove.

“Don’t worry, sweetheart. Those cunts will pay for this. Mathew’s already got someone changing the lock - do you want anything else from the flat?” I shook my head.

I’d made sure to pack my work things - they were the only things I needed for tomorrow morning, everything else can get sorted after that… when I get back to my flat for long enough to grab everything I need to really disappear.

The things I’d hidden underneath the floorboards in my bedroom: both mine and Ryan’s birth certificates.

The high rises were fading into the distance again. “We’re not going back to your dad’s, are we?” I really hoped not - Carrick might see me as too much bother. I didn’t want to be on any mafia radar, especially if they thought I was a problem.

“Nope.” Was all he said. “I’m hungry. Did you get enough to eat earlier or could you eat again?” His eye flicked between me and watching the road ahead as he drove. “I fancy a KFC.”

Fried chicken had never done me wrong before but I didn’t want to appear too keen - women were supposed to be pretty little things that picked at their food. Besides, we’d already had the stew. “I could eat. I suppose.” I said as nonchalantly as I could muster.

We went around the drive-thru. "We're nearly there, so we may as well eat in the house." Five minutes later we'd pulled up outside a high wall, waiting as Daniel pressed a second key fob he retrieved from his pocket.
