Lucy's POV

I decided it was best to check out, but since I didn't hear any footsteps leaving the room, it was dangerous to open the roof. Slowly I crawled to the roof entrance and Xandra held my hand, stopping me.

My eyes told her silently what I was going to do. I touched her hand gently and she let go. Then I crawled a little closer and forced my face down a little bit, just enough to see through the very tiny crack hole revealing the man down below.

They were pacing in the room and then the leader's face went to the bed. He saw the footsteps on it and then slowly traced them to the roof.

My heart beat tripled at that moment and I squeezed my lips so tight to prevent a muffled scream. He checked the roof suspiciously.

“Mantis,” he said, still looking at the roof.

“Yes, boss,” one of the men responded.

“How old is this house?” he asked.

“It should be more than eight decades old,” the other man replied.

“So, it should have a trap door, right?” he asked and I gulped down hard. Luckily

    Cole's POVDamn it! How could I have missed the signs! But I was sure I cleared up all the tracks.Those were the only words ringing in my head. Shane had been so bold to say that to me. Hitting the steering wheel repeatedly with my wrist, I screamed as loud as I could knowing no one but me could hear it.“Aaah!” I yelled, hitting the wheels continually until I stopped to catch my breath. The car before me stopped and the driver got down, asking with his hands and an angry face if I was crazy. I didn't put my window down because I knew I started it.I raised my hand, motioning the words sorry but the man didn't seem to let it go. He started walking closer to my car and I got sick of it. Once he got to the window, I let the car's window down and took out my gun. He got the message and stumbled backwards. “I'm sorry, man. I didn't know you were held up,” he said.He got back into his car and drove off. I started driving and called my father's number on the car's device connected to my p

    Cole's POVShit! I failed. The boss is not going to like this. I couldn't go back to the prison to finish the work myself.The news had carried Shane's recent catastrophe and his stock market kept dropping. A lot of people had a lot to say about it, mostly bad. That was regular American folks looking for someone to blame.It was titled the unfaithful husband killing his mistress on the internet and I couldn't have asked for something better.I gave up on thinking and headed back to my house. Something felt off when I parked in and went back to shut the gates.I got in and my father saw me. “Why are you grumpy?” He asked.“The boss wants me to kill Shane,” I said.“And?” He asked.“Dad, don't act like you don't know what I am saying. I already sent some people to kill him on the inside and make it look like an accident,” I explained.“He's still alive,” my father finished. “He's strong.”“We need to get rid of the Wilsons. All of them.”“Why?” He asked.“They know everything.”“That's

    Shane's POVI sat in my prison cell. I had been kept alone and it was pretty much fun. At least better than being packed with a lot of crazy folks. I must have been so happy when the door opened and a group of three men were shoved in.I ignored them and remained on my bed when I heard one cackle. “He does look fine. Do you think he'll do it?”“Who says he needs to think? He has no choice.”By now I was very attentive. This was my first time in prison and I wasn't taking my chances. I sat upright and then they smiled at me. It gave me the creeps and I started to look for a means of protection. Soon, they circled around me and I heard the security guard's voice. “Go easy on him. He's a rich one. And he's yet to get sentenced.”The laughter from the three men was ear shattering. I saw him lick his lips then blow a kiss and I understood what was going to happen.Unfortunately for them I was not the type to be pushed down easily. I got up and raised my hand. “Listen, guys. I want no issue

    Cole's POVI stood in front of the glass wall, looking at Shane sitting on the other side. He acted like he owned the world, and it made me mad. "Quit being so pitiful," I told him through the phone.Shane looked back at me with cold eyes. His face was smooth like he hadn't slept a hard day in his life. "Pride comes naturally when you're smart, confident, and wealthy," he said. His voice was calm and sure.I got madder hearing him talk like that. My chest felt tight. Shane kept speaking into the phone, looking right at me through the glass. "Even if I got replaced, I still have a lot of access to my company. You should think of a better way to piss me off, Cole."I felt anger bubble up inside me. "You're a foolish narcissist," I said into the phone, trying to hurt him.Shane smirked. His smile was mean but cool. "Better to be one than a foolish police officer who wasn't smart enough to know anyone could see you get rid of a body. And it was a living one."I felt like I'd been punched

    Cole’s POV I looked at my father. “The autopsy report for Melissa hasn’t been sent in yet,” I said. He opened a drawer without saying a word and pulled out a brown folder. “It’s already here,” he said, handing it to me. “I spoke to the head officer and some people in Bostow. It wasn’t easy, but I got this on a low. We’ll use it to our advantage.” I took the folder and opened it. My eyes went straight to the bold words on the top page. It was the Autopsy Results — Melissa Hugh. My heart beat faster as I read the next few lines. Then I smiled. There it was. A single line that made everything worth it. Hair samples found in Melissa Hugh’s hair and on her breast belong to Shane Wilson. I looked up at my father with a grin. “Perfect.” He didn’t smile. “Perfect? Cole, your method was stupid. It brought questions we don’t need. Everyone’s asking how Shane’s hair ended up on her body.” “I knew what I was doing,” I said calmly. “I didn’t just want him to look like the killer. I wa

    Cole's POV I wore my uniform shirt and my badge. The shirt fit right. The badge felt heavy on my chest. I stepped out of the changing room. The hall smelled like soap and coffee. I smiled without thinking. Sam saw me and came over fast."Why are you all smiles?" he asked."I just feel like today will be a good day," I said. My voice felt light. I kept smiling. Sam smiled too. We walked into the office together. The lights were on. People sat at desks. The air felt warm.An officer walked by and handed Sam a stack of files. Sam took them and looked down. I was curious. I always looked at Sam's work. We shared things. We told each other everything. I leaned a little so I could see the top paper.Sam saw me looking and he moved the files. He moved them away like he was hiding them. I laughed and reached out for the papers. Sam moved his hand and pulled the stack back."Why are you hiding the file from me?" I asked playfully.Sam did not play. He looked serious. "It is nothing. Just a sm
