GHOST

“Something isn’t right.”

Alek props his ass onto the table Katie usually eats at before straying his eyes to the bathroom still sounding with running water. “I’ve been saying that for a while.”

“He couldn’t have known she was carrying a girl. It was too soon.”

He folds his arms over his chest. “Did you ask the doctor what test he ordered?” I give him a leering look. “Oh, that’s right. Dead men can’t talk.” His chuckles are breathy. “Want me to ask her?”

“No.” His eyes snap from the bathroom door to me when my abrupt reply leaves no room for misunderstanding. If he makes Katie feel as uncomfortable as I did earlier, he’ll join the good doctor in the industrial freezer out back. “I’ll find out.” It just won’t be by asking Katie.

She almost died, but she was more concerned about eating my sister’s jellybean than acknowledging that.

We fucked her over good, and I hate that I’m the one who snuffed the gleam in her eyes I was so fucking desperate to relight.

“What do you want to do, Ghost?” Alek eventually asks, his tone as low as my mood.

“First, get rid of them.” I nudge my head to the cameras in Katie’s room. “Kirill knew I was coming. That’s how he got Sofia and Lera there before I popped a bullet between his brows, so he’s either watching me, or he has a nark shadowing my every move.” Alek nods, agreeing with me. “Then bring me some blow like I fucking asked you to do days ago.”

I’m jittery and in pain without drugs in my system, not that I’ll ever admit that.

“If you want to cut your fuse even shorter than it already is, you can get that shit yourself.”

Alek drags a chair over to a camera perched in the far corner of the room before removing a utility knife from his pocket. He won’t leave a single wire intact, much less a microlens.

As he yanks down the first device to stomp on it, I enter the bathroom to check on Katie. She fell in love with showers on the ship, but they’ve never lasted this long.

I follow a wet track of footprints from the shower cubicle to the vanity when I discover it is empty. Katie is standing in front of the vanity mirror drenched from head to toe, and not a snick of fabric covers her body.

She is staring at her marked and bruised stomach, cradling the non-existent bump in her shaky hands. She’s so emersed in her fear she doesn’t realize I’m in the room until I say, “He won’t hurt you again. I’ll make sure of that.”

I don’t know where my pledge came from or why she’s the only one who’s been deserving of it for the past eight years, but I mean it.

“Now come and eat. You’ll need your strength.”

Not giving her the chance to ask what battle I’m about to force her into, I rejoin Alek in the main part of the room. “I need you to find out where he took the other women.
