My brother barely made it out of that drug den alive. Whoever attacked him, they wanted him to know that they could’ve killed him but chose not to. That was a power play, and I have dealt with people like that before. But they’ve never dealt with someone like me, otherwise, they would’ve known better than to go after Kellan.

He chalked it up to his drug-related investigation, but Charlene’s presence at the hospital has me suspicious. Her behavior is suspect, and I am certain that woman wasn’t there purely out of concern. I can smell bullshit from miles away, and Charlene reeks of it. She can cover herself in layers of expensive perfume and fine silk but I will still catch that wretched scent of hers. I’m not buying the reformed criminal act, either.

I don’t believe in coincidences.

In the years that Kellan has been Sheriff of Lincoln County, he’s had his fair share of perps trying to come at him. He has dealt with aggressive actions before, but nothing like this. This was premeditated and well-thought-out. He never should’ve gone in there alone. He knows that, now. All we can do is keep our eyes open and our senses on high alert from here on out.

The puzzle pieces are still scattered across the board for the time being. They will make sense soon enough. Until then, I decide to carry on with my life as usual. We’ve got a baby on the way, a woman to win back, and two little girls who need us. I think we need them more than they need us, but that’s not something I’ll say out loud just yet.

Kellan is out of the hospital and recovering back at the mansion. He goes into the office once a day, but only for a couple of hours and only to make sure his deputies are hard at work on finding the fucker who attacked him. We’ve got a tighter security detail on Avery, though she isn’t aware of their presence. We’ve got eyes on the school, as well. The last thing I need is another Daniel trying to come at them in order to hurt Avery or us. It’s better to be prepared for the worst and hope for the best.

“Any news on Toby?” I ask Luke. We’ve been on the phone for the past twenty minutes, talking about the current developments. I’ve just closed my garage and I’m headed down the street. Around the corner, my car is waiting, wedged at the end of an alley. One more security measure, just in case. “Do we know where he’s from, at least?”

“Not yet. I need his fingerprints,” Luke replies, and I can hear papers shuffling in the background. “One of us needs to get close enough to lift at least a partial from him.”

“That means getting close enough to Charlene. I can’t tell you how much my skin crawls at the thought of that,” I shoot back with a dissatisfied grumble.

Glancing around, I see nothing out of the ordinary.
