“If Worm’s worried, we should be. Everyone knows Worm is just as good as Nigel and Leila. Worm saidhe’s not seen anyone bypass his system before. Doesn’t mean this is the same person, though. The first attempt tried to kill her, the second was invasion of her privacy, and the third was another murderous attempt. Today, the table was laid for two. There was even a vase for flowers. It looked like it had been set for a date,” Rooster explained.
“Two people then,” Chance murmured.
“What tipped them, though?” Mac asked.
“Let’s say Kendara pissed off a client’s ex. He makes a move to harm or kill her but fails. This jolts the second person, who was quite likely happy in the wings, watching Kendara. Someone just threatened the object of his obsession, and he nearly lost her. So now he makes a move. It’s like a chess game. However, the ultimate prize is Kendara. I don’t think we want either of these fucks to get her. Neither of them means well for Kenny,” Chatter spoke.
Chatter rarely had much to say, so when he did speak, the brothers listened.
“You think that’s it?” Shee asked, frowning. “Chatter’s scenario makes sense.”
“We might be dealing with a stalker with split personalities. One side isn’t aware of what the other is doing,” Lowrider suggested.
“How likely is that?” Bear demanded.
“About as likely as Chatters, but we’ve got something like this happening to Kendara,” Celt said.
“Could be the same person, a love-hate relationship. He wants Kenny but also hates her. His obsession has become twisted,” Chance added.
“Worm is going to dig deeper, but he says it’s doubtful he’ll be able to trace them. The guy is that good. For now, Kendara will stay here, where she’s safer. He can probably hack our cameras, but Worm is coming out to ensure that doesn’t happen. And Lance suggested we turn on the motion sensors and other security we have,” Rooster said.
Luckily for Hellfire, they didn’t just depend on their CCTV. After being blown sky-high, they’d learned a hard lesson. Now, they utilised other defences to ensure their families stayed safe.
“You sure Kenny’s okay staying here?” Mac demanded of Chance.
“Yes. Kendara’s one of yours, which makes her ours,” Chance replied.
“Thanks, Prez,” Mac said, grasping Chance’s forearm.
“No worries, brother. If Lance is all over this, I won’t contact Hawthorne. If Lance and Fallen Warriors can’t discover shit, then it’s doubtful Leila and Nigel will. But we’ll keep them in our back pocket.”
“And everyone keeps your damn eyes open,” Bear warned.
“Goes without saying Veep,” Tiny replied.
Kendara
I woke up with a warm body tucked against me andopened my eyes to find Brax had snuck in yet again. This time, though, he was sleeping. I smiled at the angelic vision and then wondered what mayhem the mischievous child was dreaming up.
The bedroom door opened, and Clio poked her head in.
“Sorry, I tried to keep him out, but he got away. When I found him, he was already asleep, so I thought I’d leave you both alone,” she whispered.
“No worries,” I replied, easing myself carefully out of his grasp. Brax rolled over and snuggled deeper into the duvet, and a soft smile crossed my face.
I tiptoed across the carpet, wincing at my stiff ribs, and slunk out of the door.
“I need to brush my teeth,” I said, frowning.
“There’s a half cloak through there, and we bought you some stuff because you had to leave everything behind,” Clio explained, pointing. Chey poked her head around the corner and handed me a bag with a wink.
“The others are still shopping, but we brought toiletries,” Chey announced and disappeared.
After I’d freshened up and slid the bag inside my bedroom, I headed down to the kitchen where the two women were.
“Thanks so much for that!”
“You’re welcome. How are you feeling? Rooster said you are due some medication,” Chey responded as she held a bottle of pills up.
