soon,” she said.
“Great. Thank you.” Jonathan pressed the button again to break the connection.
Some of Kai’s tension dissipated. Not that he hadn’t trusted Jonathan, but it was nice to know help was on the way.
“I do believe in you, Jon. I know you’ll get us out of this.” Kai needed his lover to know he had Kai’s confidence.
“I will,” Jonathan replied.
One way or another they would escape their stalker. Kai prayed it wouldn’t turn out to be his sister.
After what felt like an endless race through narrow alleys and questionable parts of town, Jonathan drove into a warehouse and pulled the vehicle to a sliding stop.
“What’s going on? Why are you stopping?” Kai asked.
“I’m waiting.”
After a few minutes, during which Kai reminded himself three times that he trusted Jonathan, two black SUVs slid smoothly into the warehouse. They parked on either side of Jonathan. No one got out.
“Who are these people?” Kai glanced back and forth, but he couldn’t make out the drivers what with the dimly lit building and the tinted glass windows.
“Co-workers,” Jonathan replied.
The white Volvo pealed into the warehouse with a screech of tyres. Spotting the trio of vehicles, the driver tried to reverse, but an SUV drove in behind the car and blocked its exit.
All the SUV doors opened and streams of men in black gear slid out with military precision. In seconds they’d surrounded the car, weapons drawn.
Kai bit his bottom lip as he took in the scene. “They won’t just shoot, will they?” Anxiety trembled along his words.
“No, not if they can help it. But if she comes out shooting, they will kill her.” Jonathan didn’t leave any doubt in his words.
Kai couldn’t breathe as he watched the armed men approach the car.
He recognised Sin, who reached for the door handle while Patrick protected him with a pistol. Sin yanked open the door then pulled out the driver.
Kai’s mouth dropped open. “That’s not Jeni.”
“No, it’s not,” Jonathan agreed.
A tall thin man with stringy brown hair struggled in Sin’s grip. Patrick grabbed the man’s other arm. Together they stuffed him inside the closest SUV. Kai watched as they removed a few black cases from the trunk.
“Looks like we might have caught our shooter,” Jonathan mused.
“What do we do now?” Kai asked.
“We follow and find out what the hell is going on. I think there’s a lot more happening here than we know.” Jonathan frowned at the scene.
“Do you think Jeni has another boyfriend?” Kai asked.
“I suppose it’s possible. Let’s not guess. We’ll wait until we have a chance to talk to the suspect,” Jonathan said.
“What do we suspect him of, bad driving?”
“We need to find out what he was doing following us and who paid him.”
“I wonder if it was Jeni.” Kai could almost feel his heart breaking

The guy, thin and defiant, sat at the conference table refusing to talk. Sin, Patrick, Kai and Jonathan watched him through their one-way mirror.
“He won’t say anything,” Sin said. “I thought about beating it out of him, but Patrick said I couldn’t.”
Jonathan eyed his boss in astonishment. “I thought Callum had mellowed you?”
Sin raised an eyebrow. “He did. I didn’t stab the fucker.”
“That is an improvement,” Jonathan agreed.
“I thought so.”
Jonathan laughed over Sin’s smug smile.
“Can I go talk to him?” Kai asked. He stepped close to the window to stare at the prisoner.
Jonathan turned back to Patrick. “Is he secure?”
“Yep. He can’t hurt anyone. Go ahead and let him try. We don’t want to ruin Sin’s new perfect record of not killing,” Patrick said.
Sin snorted and settled back in his chair.
“Come on. I’ll take you in.” He didn’t care if the guy was prevented from hurting anyone by handcuffs, he didn’t trust anyone alone in a room with Kai.
Kai quietly followed. “It can’t be my sister. How would she know
