12.

Tuesday. Jabir al Saud’s Home. Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Killam was going to kill Jabby. The question was, would it happen fast or slow?

Watching him with Ivy all day had slowly unhinged Killam to the point that he couldn’t make polite conversation. He nodded to a few people as he exited the dining hall. People were beginning to move from food to other entertainments, and given the number of joints being passed around, tonight would likely be pretty chill.

Too bad he had no chill. Not even a little bit.

He hadn’t seen Ivy in five minutes.

She was so damn confident she could handle Jabby, but he’d seen her today. Even when he hadn’t wanted to look, he’d seen. The touches. The slight panic she tried to cover up.

It had taken everything in him to not blow their cover.

Ivy had done the best job possible at every turn. It didn’t change the fact that she should never have been asked to do this in the first place.

When this was over, Killam was going to have a long, ugly chat with this Zora Clark.

There were other ways to get what she wanted.

He stepped into the shadows farther down the hall and pulled out his phone. Anyone looking would assume he’d needed to have a private moment. He’d spent some time on the phone to an old contact earlier, someone who understood what it was like to work in the field with a frustrating partner. Granted, Gabriel Ortiz was married to his partner,, so it was a little different. Still, it had been nice to bounce ideas off someone else.

Killam peered at his screen.

There weren’t any messages.

He wished there was something.

His man had said his team was working on giving him that diversion, still Killam doubted he’d get any sort of warning. But he’d known going into this crazy scheme that the one thing he’d have to give up was when things happened.

Killam glanced over his shoulder.

There were fewer people around now. This was as good an opening as he was going to get.

He strode down the hall, further into the shadows, then around the corner.

The doors to Jabby’s wing of the house were shut. No guards barred the way.

It was foolish in Killam’s mind to think that this wing of the house was protected by reputation alone. He couldn’t be the first person who’d snuck into Jabby’s private quarters. It did work in Killam’s favor, though.

He spared one last glance at the hall behind him, then stepped over the threshold.

Jabby’s arrogance would be the death of him someday, but probably not today.

The door shut silently, sealing him into this wing.

Killam pressed his hand to his hip. While he couldn’t get away with carrying an actual gun in the house, he’d made sure to conceal a sizeable knife. If they got into trouble, it would be their only protection.

He opted to not use the elevator and instead climbed the four flights of stairs, taking them two and three at a time. Each floor he paused to listen for movement before proceeding.
