Bab 82: Chapter 82

“I don’t know. I thought this one had been destroyed. He promised me…” Stupid, stupid, stupid! Why had I believed that promise?

“Oh, baby.” I couldn’t see through the tears, but I felt the arms that came around me and pulled me into a tight embrace. “I let him die too easy.” There was cold steel in Wills’s voice.

“Yeah,” Vincent agreed. “You should have left it to me.”

“What?” I brushed the tears away with the heels of my hands and sniffed.

“Where do we go from here?” But Wills wasn’t talking to me. He did take out a handkerchief, and he gently wiped my cheeks and eyes. “Blow, baby.”

“Nowhere now, but on Monday…. He was so anxious to see I got this.” Vincent’s voice was colder than Wills’s, and deadly. “This is the second time he’s interfered with my department. It’s going to be the last.”

“He’s senior…”

“Are you doubting my abilities, Matheson?”

“No, sir.”
