CHAPTER EIGHT

After reaching the apartment, Hannah leaned against the wall, weary from running. Adrenaline pumped through her veins. Ian seemed out of breath as well.

In their absence, the gnome had turned the television to a gardening channel and made multiple mugs of coffee. He sat on the couch wrapped in a blanket and was looking pale. Instead of spewing his usual obscenities, Bernard simply stared at them, muttered something under his breath, and turned back to the TV, where turnips were being harvested from a large field.

The air stunk of unwashed clothes and something acidic. While Ian locked the door and placed the ward back on, Hannah took the opportunity to pour herself some juice and went to Ian’s office.

In the living room, she heard Ian and Bernard talking, but right now, she needed to focus. She pulled her e-ink pad from her purse and wrote out the incidents they’d been through, along with all the information, rumors and what she knew about MAX Home Security. A few moments passed, and she noticed Ian standing at the doorway. Reluctantly, she pushed aside the short list she’d barely begun.

“You should see this,” Ian said and turned around, heading into the living room. The TV had been switched to the 24/7 news channel. A male reporter stood outside St. Gregory’s hospital. “Senator Kendall was viciously beaten by a young couple at a local Japanese teahouse. The attack took place early this afternoon in a section of the restaurant for business purposes. How the couple was able to enter the private section is unknown. A security detail sent over by MAX Home Security intervened before things could get worse for the senator. No further information is available on the couple, other than they were very skilled and masked, making identification difficult. MAX Home Security is working with the police to bring the assailants to justice.”

Ian crossed his arms and looked at Hannah. “They are going too far. I understand that they want to be brutes, but to beat up the senator so badly and force him into silence?” He shook his head. “At least they didn’t kill him.”

It all seemed unreal. They’d just been talking. Hadn’t the other people at the teahouse noticed anything? What about the commotion she and Ian had had no part in? Why would they blame them for what happened? She sat down on the couch, feeling like nothing made sense anymore.

“Took you long enough, but I knew you’d warm up to the LOVE GNOME!” Bernard scooted closer to her. “Ian, looks like you guys are in deep right now. If I were you, I’d go underground for a while.”

Nodding, Ian pulled the blueprints that they’d retrieved from the senator from his jacket. “We need to hide. It’s only a matter of time before they convince the police that we were involved. We walked along the streets. Traffic cameras might have caught us. Go and pack whatever you have here. You too, Bernard. I’m not leaving you here to kill anyone else.
