her. They protected you when you were at your weakest. That’s called love. Now she’s at her weakest, and you’re being a bitch. This is the definition of jackwagon, and someone has to have the balls to tell Gabriel Rothschild’s wife that!”
Chris glanced over at his boss. “I’m going back out with the dead body. I can’t do this now. I’m too damn angry. I refuse to stand by and watch someone I love be ripped to pieces—even out of anger.”
He walked out, using his cane, and the door slammed behind him.
Livy’s eyes filled with tears. Before she could say anything, Elizabeth had grabbed her coat and was pulling it on. “I have a case to work. I’ll talk to you later.”
“Elizabeth, wait!” Livy said.
She didn’t.
She couldn’t.
Callen followed, remembering his duty. He was to watch her back, and that’s just what he was going to do.
Again, the door slammed.
Ethan said nothing. He wanted to kiss his ME for that outburst. While Gabe was their boss, Chris was right. Someone had to protect Elizabeth.
It was about damn time too.
“I didn't mean…” Livy stated. “I was just so angry, and it caught me off guard.”
Blackhawk ignored her.
They didn't have time for this.
Later, they’d have to clear the air. Now wasn’t the time.
“Gabe, you should get your coat on. We need to work this body and start at the beginning.”
Ethan headed out.
The door didn't slam, but his angry footsteps across the tile were proof of whose side he was on with this one.
Gabe glanced over at his wife. “We did what we thought was right. I was going to kill him myself, and Elizabeth took one for the team so I wouldn’t go to jail. I was going to throw my career away to avenge what he did to you. Do you get how big that is, Livy?”
The tears began falling.
She did.
Gabe continued, “Doctor Leonard was right. If she didn't do this for us, you wouldn’t have this life. I wouldn’t have my job, and fate would have been changed. You have every right to be angry, but be pissed at me. She did it because she loves both of us. She made a huge sacrifice for our family, and we never said thank you. Chris is right. We bailed on her, and that’s over—starting right now.”
He walked away.
Livy sat at the table, wiping her tears. She was a mess, and this had shaken her up. She felt horrible because of what she’d just done. She’d torn her best friend apart in front of a room full of people.
Livy screwed up.
Now, she had to make it right.
Pulling her red hair back into a ponytail, she knew what she had to do. It was a long time coming.
This case needed to be solved, and she needed to man up, stop running, and have her partner’s back.
Unlike before.
Livy Rothschild had a job to do.
It was time she did it.

It was all going as planned.
They had found the first body, and it was time to make them pay for everything they had done. Gabriel Rothschild deserved to suffer for his sins just like the rest of them.
Before it was over, they’d all be afraid.
One by one.
It was coming.
They were all going to bleed.
It would all end with the woman who deserved to suffer the most. When Elizabeth Blackhawk was crushed beneath the boot of vengeance, only then would there be happiness.
She had it coming.
She deserved it.
The bitch was evil.
Before the week was out, nothing would be the same. No one would be left standing.
Payback was about to be swiftly delivered.
‘The Butcher’ was just the beginning. While they were running in circles, they’d find out who was mighty, and who was weak.
There would be blood.
Hers and theirs.
And it was a long time coming.
CHAPTER THREE
Outside, they were met with no media, no craziness, and no sound. It was almost surreal and like some horrible dream. Elizabeth couldn’t believe it was
