Semua Bab Captive Affair: Bab 121 - Bab 130

•KINLEY•Luca was looking as confused as I felt after Fin told him of his suspicions."We should ask Barney where he got the envelope and go from there." Luca finally spoke.I nodded, "I guess that makes the most sense. But we have to do it in such a way that he won't think we suspect him of being up to something." "Agreed. Is he at the warehouse?" Asked Fin."Yes. Let's go." When we arrived at the warehouse we were trying to play it cool.Fin was holding onto the pictures frowning when he looked over at Barney, "Where did she deliver them to?"Barney frowned, "Sorry?" It was obvious he was stalling."Where did you get the envelope from?"Barney took a sip of his coffee, "Oh. It was handed to me earlier when I was in the coffee place down the road."I glanced at Fin, but he was still playing it cool, "So that means she has someone watching us. So this place has been compromised. Why didn't you think to tell us that?" My eyes darted back to Barney.He shrugged, "It honestly didn't s

•KINLEY•When Luca broke the door down I all but ran out at top speed while waiting for Luca and Fin to check the basement. We heard far too much noise down there to believe that we were alone.When they returned I wasn't surprised to see a man with them, but judging by the fact that no one had a gun pointed at him, I could only assume that he wasn't a threat."Looks like Barney has his own little secret," Luca spoke giving me a look with pursed lips."Barney threw this guy down there?" I turned to him, "Why? And who are you?""Because I found out what he was doing with Jodie and I was going to tell you about it. I'm his boyfriend. Well, ex now."My mouth dropped in shock."Do you know where they are?" Fin asked.He nodded, "Yeah. I'll take you there."I got back in Fin's car with him and Barney's boyfriend, Luca following behind us.This was it, finally, I would get my son and husband back.When we pulled up in front of a house my stomach was flip-flopping at the thought of this. I w

•GIANNI•I sat with Renato on my lap while watching Kinley swim. A small smile played on my lips at the peaceful moment.It was nice to experience life like this, without the intense adrenaline of the mafia on my back.I texted Luca to find out how my surprise was coming along. I knew how important that mansion was to Kinley, so I had a team working on rebuilding it as close to the first one as possible."What are you smiling about?" Kinley asked as she came over, she kissed Renato on the head before reaching down and kissing me."I can't tell you or it won't be a surprise anymore. Do you want to go to dinner tonight?"Kinley nodded, "That will be nice. Should we invite Luca and Martha? I wanted to invite Billie, but I don't think that will be fair to her with the recent loss.""We can. You should call Billie, you know she won't hate you. She doesn't blame you for this. She knows and understands the way these things go, and she knows that this isn't on you."She sighed, "I know. But s

•KINLEY• I grinned triumphantly, Ripley had finally fallen asleep. Until Luca barged in, that is. "Kinley!" I turned to glare at him, "Could you shut up? I just got her to sleep." "That's going to be the least of your worries. Gianni was just arrested." "What?" I was almost sure I hadn't heard him correctly. "They barged in here with a warrant of arrest. Some new guy trying to make a name for himself." "What was he arrested for?" "Murder. Of Talon." This was getting more ridiculous by the second. "Excuse me? But that was ages ago. How would they even know about that?" "It looks like Barney was looking out for himself right to the end. He rigged it so that all the information was sent to this detective if anything happened to him." "That doesn't make any sense. Barney has been dead for months. Almost a year." Luca shrugged, "That's all I know. Why don't you go down to the station and I'll get a lawyer to meet you. When Billie's up and watching the kids I'll come down there

•KINLEY•I sat in the courtroom biting my nails while waiting to hear if the judge was going to allow Gianni back out on bail while the investigation was ongoing, or if he would be remanded.Fin and King were seated beside me, Luca near the back.Billie was at the mansion watching the kids.I breathed a sigh of relief when the judge said Gianni could have bail.It was a large amount, but I knew we had it.I rushed to Luca to arrange the payment and waited outside with Fin and King for it to be taken care of."At least he's coming home," Fin said.I nodded, "Yeah. But we still have to pinpoint who it is behind this, and a way to stop it."Fin started pacing, "Detective Hilton is trying to take down the big fish like Gianni to exhilarate his career. I bet that if we put enough pressure on him, we can make this all go away.""But is he the type to let it all go away?" I asked.King shrugged, "If we find the sweet spot, yes. And they all have a sweet spot. We just have to find his."I nod
