Chapter Six

“Yeah, I have the monster’s body locked in my trunk,” Kane told Harvey on his cell.

He was aware of Reaper standing in the doorway of the tiny motel room, arms crossed, expression unreadable. Still felt odd, lying to his old mentor. His voice sounded even enough, although his heart beat furiously against his chest.

Thank God, Harvey couldn’t see his expression or read his tense body language. Things Harvey taught Kane to look out for in his prey when he went on a hunt. Weaknesses. Now Kane exploited those teachings to side with the monsters he hunted. Hell, Kane mated one, and he didn’t regret it one bit. Looking back, Kane laughed and mourned the young man who saw the world in terms of black and white, never accounting for the shades of gray.

To stay with Reaper, to get a shot at a future, they needed to balance the books. Reaper intended to have Harvey’s head, but Kane would convince him otherwise. Although, Kane had no clue how to manage that.

Knowing Harvey, he would make Kane go over the details of the kill on the phone. Kane didn’t embellish, didn’t boast. He said the fight was hard, ugly, and he nearly lost his life, that in his half-dead state, he lured Reaper into a trap, and by happy accident, his knife won against claws and canines.

Realistic for Harvey to believe Kane got lucky, than attaining victory by pure skill alone. After all, how could Kane, a half-baked hunter succeed, where Fisher would fail? It galled Kane how Harvey thought so little of him, but those days had come to an end.

Harvey let out a surprised breath, then it turn to a dry chuckle, a hysterical little laugh. “Never thought you’d manage it, kid.”

“Me neither, but we need to talk about certain suicide vests going off.” Kane waited for Harvey to deny it, to have a valid excuse.

With Kev and his mother gone, Kane wandered, angry and lost, in the fresh Post-fall world for months. Meeting Harvey gave him purpose. Despite the harsh training, he thought of Harvey as the father he knew never.

Betrayal stung, made Kane despise Harvey for thinking so little of his life, but he couldn’t despise Harvey completely too. During those days out in the sand, where Harvey taught him how to shoot and hand-to-hand combat against shifters, made Kane feel alive and wanted. Like he belonged somewhere, but had Kane fabricated those memories?

Harvey finally answered, “What can I say, Kane? I needed insurance, and you said you didn’t value your life.”

“I do now,” Kane let a little of his contained anger and disappointment show. The rest of the broken world might not give a fuck if he lived or died, but Reaper did.

“Always a hotheaded boy. Let me guess. You botched your escape plan?”

We’re back to business then. How typical of Harvey.

Kane caught Reaper’s gaze. He knew the biker heard every word. Reaper nodded. “I need sanctuary, Harvey. The Hellhounds are after my ass, but I can make a clean break.
