Chapter Thirteen

Anne parked her car in front of Mike Williams’ mansion overlooking the bay. Her heart beating so fast and hard it made her breath shake. Her hands, still gripping the wheel, were icy cold, and yet sweat slicked her palms.

"Gorgeous place,” Virginia observed. “And he probably used my money to pay for it."

"Probably.” Anne turned to the shimmering figure at her side. “Can you find Clay and Jason and make sure they're all right?” When Williams had said he had them and would kill them if she didn't come, she couldn't help but wonder if they were already dead, but she still came. She couldn't risk not coming if they were alive.

Virginia shook her head. “I'm not sure ... I just don't like the idea of leaving you alone any sooner than I have to with that creep. Besides, I'm pretty sure if anything happened to them, I'd know."

"I hope you're right.” Hot tears blurred her vision. Anne blinked them away. This wasn't the time to give into tears. If they were still alive, she had to rescue them. If not, she'd make damn sure that Michael Williams paid for his actions.

She climbed out of her car.

"Good evening, Anne."

At the sound of Williams’ voice, Anne started and swung around and watched him walk down the stone steps from the front door of his home. “I want to see Jason and Clay."

He smiled, baring his teeth in a gesture that had nothing to do with welcome. “That is exactly where I intended to take you."

He grasped her upper arm in a cruel grip. “You and your male friends are going to go for a little boat ride. Straight to Davy Jones’ locker."

"You don't really believe that you can get away with killing three more people?"

"Four, actually,” he said pushing her ahead of him along the flagstone path leading to the private dock. “Once the bitch I'd hired to impersonate Virginia got wind that someone was investigating, she threatened to turn state's evidence if I didn't pay her several million dollars."

"And now she's dead."

"And speaking of the dead, where is Virginia?” He looped his fingers in the chain, then scanned the area around them, then dropped the chain.

"She couldn't leave the city,” she said. “Loads of rules for ghosts."

From the penetrating glance he sent her way she wasn't sure if he believed her or not. She held his gaze hoping she could deceive the master liar.

"How unfortunate for you,” he said, then dragged her down the dock toward a gleaming white yacht.

"This must have swallowed up a tidy chunk of Virginia's money."

"Not really.” He pushed her ahead of him onto the boat. “She's worth a couple billion. Early on, one of the investments I made with her trust fund turned a huge profit. I kept investing, and for some reason, anything her money touched succeeded. I just kept collecting my ten percent. She was one lucky bitch."

"Not really. She had the misfortune of trusting you, and now she's dead,” Anne contested as realization struck.
