CHAPTER TWELVE

Mack called me from his car on the way to the hotel and told me I was to listen closely. If he gave the word, I was to write the final letter on the paper. If the line cut or I stopped hearing anything, I was to write that final letter. Basically, take no chances. Kill King unless we got his compliance.

Ten minutes passed as I sat there on my couch, listening to the rumble of Mack’s Ferrari and the noise of traffic. In my shaking hand, I held the pen inked and ready to go. Sweat trickled down my spine, and my eyes kept blurring from the tears I willed away. I held King’s life in my hands and, even though I knew this man wasn’t really him, part of me still wanted to cling to the hope that there was a way. A miracle waiting to happen. But my mind argued back.

You have to do this, Mia. You have to.

I suddenly heard heavy footsteps and then the creak of a door opening.

“King, so nice to see you,” said Mack. “Now let Theodora leave. You and I can resolve this on our own.”

I heard King’s sadistic laugh. “Oh, we sure as hell will, my brother.” The cell phone went dead.

“What? No, no, no. Fuck.” I picked up the phone and looked at the screen that read Call Ended.

I threw back my head. Shit. Shit. What do I do?

If I called back, it would only waste time. King could be killing them right now!

My hand shook with fear. My body went cold and numb, but my heart felt like it was being pushed through a sieve. Painful. It didn’t want to go to the place it needed to.

But Mack had been clear, and I couldn’t argue. If anything happened, anything at all, I had to do it.

“I love you, King.” I started to cry and carefully scripted a G onto the paper. I then set down the pen. I felt like I’d lost him all over again. Why did it all have to end like this? What was the purpose of everything we’d all gone through?

This just wasn’t fair. It wasn’t.

My phone rang like a siren of doom. I slowly reached out my hand and pushed the speaker. “Hello?”

“Mia, it’s Teddi,” she said, her voice high pitched and quivering.

“What happened?”

“I don’t know. King grabbed me. Mack lunged for him and then collapsed. Mack’s on the floor and King disappeared.”

I pushed my lids closed and tilted my head toward the ceiling. Shit. Shit. Shit. King took Mack out before I could get him.

“He’s still breathing, but he’s unconscious,” Teddi added, her voice hysterical.

“What?” I whooshed out a breath. “I’ll be right there. Don’t move.”

I jerked up from the sofa and eyed the tiny bottle of ink. It would be safer here, but what if I needed it? What if King wasn’t gone?

No. That didn’t make any sense. If King was still alive, if that was what I could call him, the ink hadn’t worked.
