CHAPTER TWENTY THREE

ASHER

“I know what the fuck you did,” Ax says the minute Katelyn is out of ear shot.

I grin at him as I cross my arms and lean back against the counter. “Mad you didn’t think of it?”

I don’t give two fucks if he’s butt hurt I thought of getting Kate enrolled in college classes and setting up a full ride scholarship for her. She already hates the idea of not being able to afford coffees for herself, she doesn’t need to know I’m paying for her college. All that matters is that smile she had two minutes ago when she realized her dream of going to college like a normal girl is now a reality.

And I fucking made that happen.

“Yes,” Eli spits, bitterly.

“So, do I even want to guess which one of you is dating her?” Colt pipes up from the computer, not even looking at us.

“Mind your business,” Eli warns him, but Colt just laughs.

I don’t know the guy all that well, just that Eli calls on him when he needs something done with discretion. He may be some genius computer nerd but I can tell there’s more to him than just that.

“You find them yet?” Ax asks, glancing at the screen and pulling my attention back.

“Stephen and Mary seem to be somewhere in Mexico. It’s scattered, they must have cash they are using which is why the payments are sporadic.”

“Where the hell would they be getting cash from?” I snort.

No one answers. Because no one knows.

“This Russel Thorne guy, though? That’s a whole different story,” Colt sighs and runs a hand across his face in frustration.

“You still can’t fuckin’ find him?” Ax growls and I see Colt’s jaw tighten.

The guy may not be a viper but he doesn’t even hesitate to glare at Ax. Gotta hand it to him, he’s got some fucking balls.

Or a death wish.

“It’s not just that,” Colt snaps and shakes his head. “It’s like he’s a ghost. He doesn’t exist. I think the name is an alias. But without a picture, a fingerprint or anything more than just the name, I can’t run him through the software to figure out who he really is.”

“He’s got a license for medicine though, doesn't he?” Eli asks, joining us at the table and he passes me another beer.

If we don’t get better news soon, I’m gonna need something stronger.

Fuck.

“Technically yes, but going through these certifications, unless this guy died back in the 50’s I doubt it’s his actual license. And these hospitals you had me look up for the NDAs? They are all private institutions that contract out employees. Someone is covering something up but I think it’s more than just some rapes.”

“Just some rapes?” I snap at him.

“He means,” Eli glares at me before Colt can say anything. “It’s worse than just a handsy doctor.”

“Fuck,” Ax groans. “An entire hospital chain employing pedophiles and rapists? How?”

“Whoever is running it…” I start and eye Ax and Eli who both just nod.

“It’s not just some low level group,” Ax says, banging his hand on the table.
