Ray Henry Danger Novels & Stories

Henry chuckled at the determination. “I’m guessing you have a main suspect I need to asses or maybe… scare.” Henry enjoyed this tension even though he pretended not to. But he was the one to thrive in chaos and Alyssa knew him better than to buy his pitiful act. “Something like that. Also, there is a name on Erik’s security detail which I don’t recognize.” Alyssa waited for Henry to confirm her thoughts.

Adam dipped his hand into his pocket and brought out the phone and handed it to him. Henry peered at the screen, he furrowed his brows as he saw the missed calls. He clicked on voice mail, and not long after Ashley’s voice blared through the speakers, she was terrified and breathless. Henry’s eyes widened. Adam’s face hardened. “She was really in danger...” Henry said after a while, in disbelief. “Someone tried to attack her and I couldn’t help. I wasn’t there...” His chest was heaving. “What have I done?”

~REESE~ Liam stops the car a block away from the house. He doesn’t say a word. His hands still on the steering wheel, his eyes straight ahead. The silence between us has stretched the entire ride. “I’ll be okay here,” I say, breaking the long, deadbeat silence. He finally turns to me, his eyes burning into the side of my face. “Okay then. I wouldn't want your husband putting a bullet in my head. Even though I'd love to see him try.”

It was Henry's turn to freeze. He gulped nervously, his eyes darting around, searching for what to say. An uncomfortable silence ensued between the four of them. Hailey kept her eyes averted while Scarlett looked on, waiting to see what would happen. "I asked you a question, Henry." Dylan said coldly. "How did you know about the rogues?" "It was just a guess, Dylan." Henry answered with a nervous laugh. "What else would spook a powerful stallion out here in the forest?"

“It’s my first time I’ve seen him fancy someone. I think, obsessed. That’s the right word to use.” The way he’s looking at me is as if he pities me. I think I should be pitied though, for catching the attention of someone as Ryan. I have always known that Ryan is sick in the head. My encounters with him back in college and recently says it all. I also know that those good boy acts he played back in college were just a facade. I saw something else hidden inside of him. Something dangerous.

It would tear through our ranks, through our fragile alliances, devouring hope and turning everything we’d built into ash. “She’s strong,” Henry finally said, his voice rough with a mix of awe and fear. “But that strength—it’s like a blade with no sheath. She’s reckless, dangerous even, when it comes to protecting the people she loves. She’ll burn down everything around her if it means keeping them safe. Whatever she’s doing now… she’s convinced it’s the only way. And that kind of belief?” He glanced at me, eyes haunted. “That’s the most dangerous thing of all.”

Henry had already defected to the enemy along with Richard and the others. He didn't want to wait in Southlake City for death to befall him. "Have you already defected to another country, you bastard?" Marilyn barked sharply. Henry shook his head repeatedly, explaining, "No, no. The enemy hasn't attacked yet, so why would I defect to them?" "Why are you so panicked, then? Are you lying?" Marilyn asked again. "I'm just a bit scared of you, Grandma. You're the head of the family, too. I wouldn't dare to take any action before you've given your approval, would I?" Noticing how firm Marilyn's attitude was, Henry dared not say much.

I was here, in what’s considered the most dangerous city in the United States. If it weren’t for Kim, there’s no way I’d go through all this trouble, traveling so far just to fetch her damn documents. Damn her scatterbrain for always forgetting important stuff and dragging me into her personal courier service. Pulling my phone out of my bag, I dialed Kim’s number. I prayed she’d pick up quickly so that the incident that I won’t tell wouldn’t happen again like last time.

I quipped, and he gave me a look that told me he didn’t know whether I was being serious or not. I wasn’t going to tell him. Let it consume his mind, I doubt it would, but it was the only thing I could think of at the moment. “Why are you following me Hench?” I asked now more relaxed that the person following me wasn’t trying to kill me. He was one of Emerson’s men, he kept popping up, each time in different attire. An actor with the world as his stage. “Keeping you safe, miss,” he said it in a cockney accent which I wasn’t sure was real, “Besides can’t let a lady such as yourself walk home alone, anything could have happened,”

Henry simply processed the information little by bit till he became puzzled. "Umm, so I should be cautious?" "Yeah, since you're travelling alone now." Henry came to a halt and looked towards me. "What?!! You've got to be joking, right?" "No, I'm not kidding." "But why is that? I can just follow you quietly even if you don.." Henry came to a standstill because he realized Riel always had a motive for doing things. "Is something wrong?" "No, not at all. We came here to hunt, and you're going to have to face more dangers. Look straight forward."
