Chapter Fourteen

“What do you mean, you can’t find her? Where is she?”

Rafe didn’t react to Mick’s annoyed tone coming through the phone as he steered down the curving highway. “Somewhere near Charlotte.” He was still trying to find an exact address.

“Is she coming back?”

“Dunno. Haven’t found anything telling me that one way or the other.” He gripped the steering wheel tighter, his palm damp.

“And what about the insurance policy?”

“Still waiting.” He purposely kept his answers clipped because he didn’t want to talk. He had shit to do and not much time to get it done. Only a few days remained for him to come up with the rest of the money. He’d do whatever it took to make that happen.

A beat of silence passed, and Rafe could feel the coldness of it through the phone. “That bitch better pay up.”

“She will.” One way or the other. The organizations had connections all across the country. He was more concerned about the insurance company dragging its feet. Without the settlement, he would be hard pressed to get much from her anyway. Definitely not enough to pay off the remainder of his debt.

He shoved the uneasy thought aside. He’d lost too much sleep in the past few weeks. He had to focus, stay sharp. Until the life insurance policy came through, there was nothing more he could do.

“Get on it,” his boss growled.

“Mick. Have I ever not gotten you the money?” he finally said with tried patience. “I’ll handle it.” Just as he handled everyone who owed them money. They always paid in the end, because of the ruthless reputation Rafe had earned. People who tried to run learned they could never run far or fast enough to outrun him and the organization.

And those few who didn’t pay paid with their life, or the life of someone they cared about.

“Where are you right now?” his boss demanded.

“Just on my way to pay Eli another visit.”

Mick grunted. “That’s tonight?”

“Yep. Money should be in the account by midnight.” That would put a pretty dent in what Rafe owed the organization, but still not enough. Not goddamn enough.

“Good. Let me know when you’re done. Then I want you to double up on Molly Boyd. You’re not getting soft on her because she’s a pregnant widow, are you?”

Rafe snorted. “Not likely. I’ll get the money.” He disconnected before Mick could say anything else and pressed harder on the accelerator. The Audi responded immediately with a smooth purr that pushed him back into the plush leather seat.

This stretch of road was all but deserted this time of night. To his left the ocean sparkled beneath a half-moon, the waves exploding into sheets of foam where they crashed against the rocks.

His target was eleven miles to the northeast, in a sleepy little bedroom community tucked away at the edge of a large forest. He parked three blocks from the house and gathered his tools from the passenger seat. The upper middle class neighborhood was quiet, only a few people out walking their dogs as he made his way to the three-story brick home on the middle of the street.
