“The girl was clueless. She walked right by the three of us without even an inkling of my identity. Just as you predicted, Ruckus: Abigail believes this island keeps her safe.”

I held my cell slightly away from my head, as though his smarmy vibes could somehow infect me. I really didn’t enjoy working with the lower class, but their methods proved useful when I needed to get ahead. And this man’s methods were brutal. One phone call to the authorities, asking for information on Abigail’s case, and he found me.

Whoever this man was, he had connections.

Lots of them.

And connections are exactly what I needed if I wanted to punish Adam and Lillian Crawford for threatening me with their witchcraft—and earn the added monetary incentive Ruckus offered.

I didn’t rise to the top of the corporate food chain by playing nice.

Or fair.

“Good. Now, listen closely: take out the boy first. I don’t want them finding their way back to each other. Do I make myself clear?”

“Got it.”

“And, Carl, if I would go to these lengths to get to one measly little girl, imagine what I will do to you if you do not come through.”

I squared my shoulders and hung up, without responding. People really get under my skin.

Darius, Andrew and I stopped outside Unit 242, then Darius tapped on the door with the tip of his gun, a foolish smile on his face.

“Really, Darius?”

He bowed his head, but his excitement displayed itself in other ways: wide eyes and the childish way he rocked forward on his toes. “Sorry.”

“Put away the gun. We didn’t come here to kill him, just rough him up a little, tie him up, then go for the girl.”

“And kill her.” Andrew couldn’t keep his mouth shut; I only hoped the snowbirds were all too old to overhear, or too senile to care.

“Yes. Eventually.”

Darius laughed and tapped on the door again, whispering, “I still don’t understand why we couldn’t just take her a moment ago.”

I closed my eyes. Good help is so hard to find. “Apparently Derick is more of a fighter than he appears in the photographs, and we need to subdue him first.”

The doorknob rattled.

Darius holstered his gun, reared his arm back, and as soon as the door opened, he punched the boy in the face, knocking him out cold.
