Hawk

The moment the name is mentioned, I know why Red sent us here. I have understood the purpose of every place we have gone so far, but this one didn’t register. I hate clubs. Red knew that. For a moment, I thought she might be punishing me from the grave, but now I get it.

This has something to do with my last case. Dr. Evan Heimlich was a well-connected man. He had friends in high places.

At this point, it could be any one of them that might have come after me for revenge. My question now is what does this have to do with Red? The Nunnery is separate from the Church. They know what we do, but they don’t know any specifics. I’ve never given Red names of my hits, so how did she know Dr. Evan Heimlich was connected to me?

Once again, she blows me away with her talents. The gentle tremble of Brooklyn’s hand brings me back to the moment. She doesn’t want to be here. As tough as Brook is, I know that this was a lot to take in. The types of weapons mentioned here tonight are enough to scare grown men.

The ding of the elevator has me focused again. “Let’s go,” I whisper to her.

My only goal at this moment is getting her out of here and to safety. We climb in the elevator and the doors close. Brooklyn pushes the buttons to go up. The moment we start moving I pull her into me.

She comes without fuss. Her scent explodes through my senses. That soft powdery scent mixed in with the coconut and floral products she puts in her hair. I bury my face in the soft curls at the top of her head, loving the feel of the springy strands.

“It’s hard to believe that people like that exist in the world.” Her soft voice floats to my ears like a gentle caress. I hold her closer, wrapping both my arms around her as she wraps hers around me.

From what I can tell about her so far, she doesn’t show her vulnerable side to many. I’m assuming probably no one outside of her sister. I know she has to be shaken if she’s holding onto me so tightly.

“There are a lot of monsters in the world. That was why my job was so important,” I tell her.

My job was to rid the world of Dr. Heimlich and his research five years ago. I thought I did my job. The same night I killed the people of the Heimlich research lab, the Church destroyed all the research he had. Somehow something got past me.

She lifts her head from my chest and looks up at me, her breath fans my face. “Why did you stop?”

I smile. “I lost the passion for it. The first thing they teach you when you’re recruited is to love what you do. At eight-years-old, they put a gun in my hand and taught me how to fall in love with taking lives.
