Nova

Cian and I sat in Delove’s office, staring at his evidence board, dread consuming every part of my body. Crime scene photos, maps and headshots of Ryzen and Riddick covered the area with different-colored strings crisscrossing between known accomplices. Delove said the same thing Cian had; someone was helping Ryzen, and it wasn’t just his brother. No, it had to be someone Ryzen trusted… but who?

In the center of the board was a map of Chicago and its immediate suburbs, white push pins indicating where Ryzen had been seen and red ones marking where attacks had taken place. The whole thing gave me chills, and Cian squeezed my knee, comforting me.

Delove pinned a photo of Milliani to the board and added a red push pin where she had been attacked. I arched my eyebrow and glanced at Cian.

Delove cleared his throat and sat down behind his desk. “My sources have confirmed the attack on Milliani Voledetti, but I see you both are already aware, otherwise you wouldn’t be here.”

“We’re here because we need to do something about this. Ryzen is getting bolder, making more dangerous moves. It’s only a matter of time before he tries to attack me again.” I hated how desperate I sounded, but nothing about this whole situation was normal. There was a deranged psychopath out trying to kill me, and he was starting to go after the people I cared about. Who was going to be next? Juliet? Thora? No, he had to be stopped. We had to do something.

Delove leaned back in his chair and sighed. “I agree. His attacks are getting more frequent. He’s desperate, and that makes him a very dangerous man.” He glanced at the evidence board, his eyes darkening. “We need to lure him out.”

“How?” Cian’s eyes were tired, hair disheveled after a long night of staying up. Every time I woke in the middle of the night, I found him awake, hovering over me, murmuring sweet words to make me feel safe. It had helped, but only a little. The only thing that was going to make me feel better was Ryzen locked up behind bars.

Delove looked between us and loosened his tie. “You’re not going to like this, but our best bet is to give him an opportunity to strike, and when he does, we’ll be there to catch him.”

The only problem was my lack of confidence in Delove. After the incident a few months ago, he had proven time and time again that Ryzen was smarter than him and his slew of FBI agents. What was going to be different about it this time?

“I understand you are the recipient of a prestigious award. My congratulations to you.” Delove tapped his fingers on his desk. “The gala is in a few days, and that would be a pristine opportunity to catch him. It’s a big night for you, Cian. If he’s going to try again, it’ll be there, especially if we give him a little incentive.”

“Incentive?” I questioned, and Cian froze.
