Chapter 7

Tyler

I practically skipped down the stairs like a twelve-year-old girl. I’d never been this happy, not even when Shelby and I had first started dating months ago. Every minute we’d spent together had filled me with unadulterated joy. And I wasn’t an ‘unadulterated joy’ kind of guy.

I’d left Shelby’s apartment early. She had work and I’d received a text from Abernathy about another job. Obviously, I wasn’t interested in another job, but I couldn’t let him know that.

I had to maintain a low profile until I was prepared implement my escape plan.

Hopefully, whatever Abernathy had in store for me wasn’t anything related to murders or framing politicians for them. That was the polar opposite of keeping a low profile.

I opened the door to the parlor and stepped inside. A couple of businessmen sat at the tables. Charles waved from his usual spot, sober for once. He gestured for me to join him, but I waved off the invitation.

Spending time at the Society’s headquarters gave me the creeps, now. My skin prickled. I didn’t spot bloodsucker Colin anywhere. He’d probably found another victim.

Abernathy wasn’t around, either, but that was expected – he made me wait most days.

The door clicked behind me and cold wind swatted the back of my neck. The displacement of air.

“Move,” Anthony spoke behind me. “You’re in my way.”

I didn’t step aside. I grinned and turned my head. “What’s wrong, Anthony?” I asked. “You touchy about something?”

He’d looked ready to rip his fucking hair out at the restaurant last night. Asshole had done that to himself.

“Get out of my way.”

A couple of the guys at the tables closest to the entrance looked up. They frowned at Anthony. Nobody liked the cunt for a reason. He lauded his connection to Abernathy over everyone. He’d thought that silver spoon would feed him power and popularity and man, he’d been wrong.

But I wasn’t stupid. I couldn’t risk a brawl in the middle of the Society’s HQ. People would talk and ask questions, and the attention I’d get would put my plans at risk.

I strolled out of his path and dragged a chair away from an empty table.

Anthony didn’t shift. He glared at me. “This isn’t over.”

“Huh?” I sat down, kicked another chair around, then perched the heels of my boots on the seat.

“You think this is over and it’s not. Shelby’s going to know about you,” Anthony hissed.

Fuck it. The guy wouldn’t quit. I threw caution to the damn wind because things couldn’t go wrong with Shelby now. I was on cloud nine and Anthony was down in the dirt. He was beneath me. I’d crush him under my boot like a spent cigarette.

“That’s what’s bothering you?” I asked. “Man, you had to know you never stood a chance. You did this to yourself, brother.”

“You’re not my brother.”

I crossed myself. “God forbid. Listen, though, Shelby told me you hit on her and she rejected you over and over and over again. I admire your – uh, what’s the phrase I’m looking for? Dumb persistence.
