The Killer's Kitten 83 We Finish This
They left before dawn.Doc didn't try to stop them. He just stood in the doorway, watching Vincent pull on his jacket, and said, "You tear those stitches, you come back here. Not a hospital. Here."Vincent nodded. Gaby grabbed her bag. Sophie was still asleep—they'd decided not to wake her. Not yet."He'll know we're coming," Vincent said as they walked to the car."He already knows." Gaby opened the passenger door. "The question is whether he expects us to walk through the front door.""He doesn't think I'd be that stupid.""Good." She got in. "Then we walk
The Killer's Kitten 82 Say it
Vincent read Viktor's message again.Then again. Then he set the phone down and stared at the wall."Say it," Gaby said."Say what.""Whatever you're thinking. You're thinking it so loud I can hear it."He was quiet for a long moment. Then: "I'm going alone."She didn't react. Not immediately. She just looked at him—at the bandage on his shoulder, at the shadows under his eyes, at the way his hands were already reaching for his jacket."No," she said."It's not a discussion.""Everything is a discussion." She stepped in front of the door. "That's what partners do. They discuss.""I'm not going to risk you.""You're not risking me. I'm choosing."He stopped. His jaw tightened."Viktor will use you," he said. "The moment he sees you, he'll know. He'll know you're the thing I care about. He'll use it.""Then don't let him.""It's not that simple.""Yes, it is." She crossed her arms. "You think I don't know what I'm walking into? You think I haven't seen what your world does to people?" S
The Killer's Kitten 81 The Message
Vincent was on his feet by the second day.Not walking—standing. Leaning against the doorframe of Doc's back room, his good shoulder pressed to the wood, his jaw tight with the effort of pretending he wasn't in pain. Gaby found him there when she came in with his breakfast."You're supposed to be in bed.""I'm fine.""You're leaning on a wall.""I'm resting."She set the tray down. Crossed her arms. "Vincent."He looked at her. Then a
The Killer's Kitten 80 That's what scares me
He woke in pieces.First his fingers. Then his eyelids. Then his voice—a low rasp, barely audible."Sophie.""She's safe." Gaby was already on her feet, leaning over him. "She's in the other room. She's sleeping."His eyes found hers. They were glassy, unfocused. Then they sharpened. "You're still here.""I told you I wasn't leaving."He tried to sit up. Winced. Fell back against the pillow."Don't," she said. "Doc said you need to rest."
The Killer's Kitten 79 I'm not letting go
Doc worked in silence.He was older—sixties, maybe. Gray hair, weathered face, hands that moved with the kind of precision that came from decades of practice. He cut away Vincent's shirt, cleaned the wound, stitched it closed. He didn't ask questions. He didn't flinch. He just worked.Gaby stood in the corner. Watching. Every time Doc's needle went in, she felt it in her own body. Every time Vincent's chest rose, she counted the seconds until it rose again.When Doc finished, he straightened. Looked at Gaby. "He'll sleep for a few hours. The bullet went through clean. No fragments. No infection—yet. Keep the wound covered. Change the bandage every four hours."She nodded. Her
The Killer's Kitten 78 Are you his girlfriend?
He was unconscious.She pressed her hands harder against his shoulder. The blood kept coming—dark and warm against her fingers. She could feel his heartbeat, faint, under her palm.Sophie was still crying. Gaby looked at her—small, thin, shaking. She couldn't have been more than twenty-three, but she looked younger. She looked like a child who'd been left alone too long."Sophie." Gaby's voice was steady. She didn't know how. "I need you to help me."Sophie looked up. Her eyes were red. Her hands were still tied—Vincent hadn't finished untying them before Kessler appeared."Untie your hands," Gaby said. "Then
The Killer's Kitten 01 The Jazz Bar
Eight months ago. Los Angeles. A jazz bar tucked into a nameless street downtown.Vincent had just finished a job. His suit sleeves still held their press lines his collar stiff, a neat bourbon on the table in front of him. He sat in the darkest corner, back to the wall. From this position he could
The Killer's Kitten 05 After that night
She sat up, the blanket slipping to her waist. She stared at the back of his head. "After sex you say this?"He didn't turn around."You pull me out of a parking lot with blood on your hands, kill a men, put me in your car, spend the night in a motel with me—and the first thing you say is ‘you sho
The Killer's Kitten 04 You Should Leave
About two weeks had passed since the museum night.Neither of them reached out. He told himself he was resetting. She told herself she wasn't going to chase a man who didn't text back. Two different silences, same result.She finished her last week at work. She said goodbye to her colleague at the
The Killer's Kitten 03 Crème Brûlée
About a week after "Two Lies and One Truth."Vincent sent a message: "There's a photography exhibit. If you're free."When she came downstairs she saw his car—a black BMW, immaculately polished, parked beneath her building like a dormant beast. She got in, running her fingers over the leather stitc
