Chapter 12

Reilly was in the kitchen making Benny breakfast when the phone rang. She’d already opened the gate for Royce Hunter when he told her that he needed to speak to her and Daniel. She didn’t want to let him in, but she was pretty sure that whatever the man had to say was important to their well-being. She nearly had Benny answer it when Daniel came into the kitchen and picked up the receiver as if he lived there or something. She turned her back to him so that she wouldn’t snap at him.

“Harlequin residence. How may I help you?” He looked at her sharply, then turned his back away. She could hear him mumbling, but not the words. When he turned back around, she knew it had been Carver.

“Benny, why don’t you go to your room so your aunt and I can talk?” She bristled.

“He stays. And don’t answer my phone again. This is still my house.” She put pancakes on Benny’s plate and moved to get him the bacon. “What did he say?”

“I don’t think—”

“No, you don’t get to think. You also don’t get to make guesses, nor do you get to decide what my son hears and doesn’t hear.” She put the plate down on the table a little harder than she’d meant to. “What did he say?”

“He said that he’ll get you soon. And after he’s finished raping every orifice of your body he’s going to do the same to your husband, who he thinks I am by the way. After that he’d going to drag you behind—”

“That’s enough,” Royce said. She looked over at Royce and another man she’d never met before they entered the kitchen. Royce looked at Benny and jerked his head toward the other room. “Go in there and finish eating. You,” he pointed to Daniel, “go outside.”

“Fuck you. This is between her and I. And you will not—”

“Someone tried to kill Doyle last night,” the other man said as he sat down. “He called me to tell me he was going to his apartment to pick up some clothes. Told me that he’d be back in an hour, that you and the girl here were in bed together.” The man winked at her when he turned to her. “We both figured that you’d be safe enough. When I didn’t hear from him this morning, I went by his place to see. He had been…he was hurt badly, and this was on his body. I’m pretty sure that whoever did it to him thinks he was left for dead. And the paper is going to confirm that fact.”

Reilly found herself in a chair with her head between her knees. She didn’t even fight the person holding her there. Her friend had been hurt because of her. She didn’t listen to the men talking. She had enough in her heart right now to wonder if they were blaming her or not. It wasn’t until she heard Benny’s voice that she pushed against the hand holding her down and sat up.
