CHAPTER TWENTY-SIX

They all saw it.

It was the moment they’d been waiting for.

The young woman was Hillier’s next victim. She had to be. Hillier was up and following her not even five seconds after she started making her way out to the deck.

Every single nerve in Kyle’s body was on edge, stomach queasy and knees weak.

This was it.

Liam was up first. Eddie followed, grabbing his shoulder. “What are you going to do?”

Liam looked surprised. “What am I going to do?” he repeated. “Stop a murder, that’s what.”

Eddie let him go and turned to Kyle, who was now up as well, following Liam. “What the hell are we going to do?” Eddie whispered. “Tackle the guy?”

Kyle shrugged as he tried to keep up with Liam, who was quickly weaving his chunky body past the rows of seats to get to the exit leading outside to the deck.

“How does he do it?” Eddie asked. “Does he have to hold his hand up to her head or something?”

Kyle shook his head. “I have no clue.”

And it was true. He had absolutely no idea. He didn’t think Liam knew either. He didn’t think anyone knew.

Liam burst through the door and was already outside by the time Kyle and Eddie made their way out, the warm humid air thawing Kyle’s air-conditioned skin. Liam was about ten feet away from Hillier and the girl, the strong gusts off the New York Bay whipping back the portly man’s curly hair, revealing a slightly receding line. Hillier was by the railing, the girl next to him, hunched over looking at something in her hands.

Hillier’s eyes were glued on her, not even bothering to look up as the three men stared right at him.

Kyle wondered if he’d already started the process, whatever that process might be.

“Get away from her!” Liam shouted as he planted his feet firmly, forcing an almost comically deep baritone voice. “We know what you’re up to.”

Hillier finally looked up and glared back with stone cold eyes. Kyle looked at the girl, but couldn’t see her face. Her back was turned and all he could see was the wind tussling her long hair.

“I said back away from the girl,” Liam repeated.

The girl turned in what felt like slow motion. Kyle didn’t know what to expect, didn’t know what he’d see. Rolled up, trance-like vacant eyes? Blood dripping from her nose? Drool dribbling down her chin?

But that’s not what he saw at all.

What he saw was a nervous and confused looking young girl with a cigarette in her mouth and a pack of Newports in her hand.

Kyle’s focus turned back to Hillier.

The man remained silent as he continued to glare at Liam, angrily bearing down on him with the same unflinching gaze he used while working out of a jam, his icy, dark, intimidating cobalt eyes seemingly trying to knock Liam over with nothing more than their gaze alone.

But Liam didn’t budge.

“Not tonight, Hillier,” Liam said, boldly throwing out the cheesy line with a Christian Bale-like raspy tone. “It ends here.
