Chapter Twenty-Eight

Isaiah had trouble finding Phoenix when he got back to Nathaniel’s, so he decided to text her, rather than waste time searching.

I’m back. Where are you?

Her delay in responding worried him, but eventually his phone buzzed.

I have no idea. I’m with Drew. We were going to watch a movie.

His phone rang, and he was surprised to see Drew was calling.

“Where are you?” Isaiah asked by way of greeting.

“I’m in the gaming room,” Drew told him. “You need to get over here. Seriously, the call Nixie got was totally fucked up.”

Without waiting for Isaiah’s reply, Drew ended the call.

Isaiah hurried down the hall to the gaming room, which quite honestly didn’t get much use unless someone wanted to watch television. Nathaniel had gone through a video game phase, but it had only lasted a few months. Isaiah wasn’t going to pretend he didn’t play video games, but he preferred to play them in his room.

Phoenix looked somewhere between bewildered and panicked as she paced the room.

“Why don’t you sit down so we can figure this out?” Drew suggested, sounding, of all things, concerned.

“What’s going on?” Isaiah asked.

“Shayla called,” Phoenix began.

“Hunter’s mom?” he asked, and when she nodded, he continued. “Where is she? We can bring her here. Trish may be a problem, but she doesn’t live here, so we can work around that.”

“She’s out on a killing spree,” Drew chimed in, sounding morbidly cheerful.

“One murder isn’t a killing spree,” Phoenix argued.

“They all start with just one,” Drew pointed out with a shrug.

“Can we start at the beginning?” Isaiah asked.

“I’ll give you the short version,” Phoenix told him. “Do you remember Mitch?”

“Tattooed guy who was threatening you?” he asked.

“That’s him,” Phoenix confirmed. “Shayla somehow learned that Mitch was going to tell Hayden where to find me.”

“Fucker,” Drew muttered.

“What he said,” Isaiah added. “So, Shayla killed Mitch?”

Phoenix nodded.

“I guess this explains my father’s attraction to her,” Drew remarked. “He always had a thing for the lunachicks.”

“Lunachicks?” Isaiah hadn’t heard that one before.

“You know, lunatic chicks,” Drew clarified. “That girl’s a psycho.”

“Shayla is not a psycho!” Phoenix insisted.

“No offense, babe, but I know crazy, and that chick jumped the couch,” Drew argued.

Isaiah decided not to say anything because he wasn’t entirely certain Shayla was crazy. “So, she did it to protect you?”

“It sounds that way,” Phoenix replied.

“Do you think Mitch was going to betray you?” Isaiah asked. He saw the pain flash in her eyes and knew she wanted to deny it. “Bastard,” Isaiah muttered.

“It’s not like that,” she insisted. “Mitch was just trying to protect his brother.”

“By letting you get killed,” Drew added. “Some friend.”

“You’re right,” she admitted.

“You know what we should do?” Drew asked, completely blasé about the situation.

“I’m afraid to ask,” Isaiah replied.

Drew chuckled. “C’mon, I have great ideas.”

Even Phoenix snorted.

“What’s your idea?” Isaiah asked.

“First, we should get Roman and Alek to make sure Trish and the kid are moved someplace more secure. I know you got their new place set up pretty good with security, but you weren’t expecting anyone to be hunting them down.
