Lyon
Chapter 120

In the end we went with something simple. I had the super knock on the door and tell her there was a gas leak in the building and she had to leave. Of course we had to tell the other tenants the same thing to make it look legit but what the f**k.

Most of them weren’t home anyway; most normal human beings were out getting ready for the holiday. According to the guys who were on her she headed for the mall.

I decided to go in alone; the place wasn’t that big anyway. I could toss it in an hour tops. I went in and headed straight for the bedroom. Everything was neat and nothing looked suspicious, the computer was sitting on the bed and left on.

There was nothing there but some shopping site. She had a cup sitting next to the bed and her clothes were folded neatly on a chair. I opened the closet door and that’s where I got my first break, she had three different wigs in there in different shades. Red, black and some crazy looking shit with spikes and colors.

What the f**k did she need that shit for unless she was up to no good? I went through the drawers but there was nothing in there but clothes. I went back to the computer and tried getting into her email and shit but of course everything was pass coded.

I should’ve brought Paul with me; he would know how to break into that shit. I could always steal it but then she’d know someone was in here. This shit was beyond frustrating.

Char said she’d been acting suspicious and the wigs were a dead giveaway for me but there was nothing here I could use. As I was about to turn away the computer screen changed and my heart dropped. Gotcha. I had what I came for but it just posed a whole other set of problems f**k.

I called the guys that were on her. “Where is she?”

“Shopping.”

“Do you have eyes on her?”

“Not at this moment no, she went into the mall and started walking from store to store then she went into the changing room so we’re sitting outside don’t worry she has to pass us to get out what’s up?”

“She’s the master of disguise, she could’ve passed you and you wouldn’t even know it. Get into the store and make sure she’s there.” I grabbed the laptop and hot footed it out the door.

I made one more call with my heart in my throat. “Kat you two okay?”

“Yes Colt why”

She had a laugh in her voice so at least she wasn’t still sitting in that room crying.

“Don’t let anyone in the house.” I didn’t want to tell her what I’d found over the phone she’d freak.

“I’m on my way should be there in ten, baby, love you okay.” Now she started crying again.

“Don’t cry baby everything’s going to be okay.

“Okay, love you too.” She sent me k****s and hung up. I gave the guys a quick rundown before hopping on my ride and heading for home.

I rode with one hand while holding the laptop in the other and sped through the streets to get home. I knew it all along the gut never lies.

I should probably call my father in law and let him handle it but there was a lot to think about before I went there. This shit could come back to what went down in Arizona. I have to get my shit straight before I get anyone else involved.

If it was just me I probably would say f**k it and let Drake have at it, then again the thought of losing my wife and kid did not sit well with me at all.

There was no sign of him and will never be, and Kat still hadn’t put anything together about our trip. As far as she knew it was just so she could visit her mom.

I’ve been keeping up with the news and nothing had been uncovered so we were still in the clear there but I don’t know how much this nut knows. I now had a pretty good idea why she’d targeted my wife though. F**k this was going to set her back.

I turned down my street and my gut went on high alert. I throttled back without thought and lifted the hand with the laptop to halt my guys who were fast on my tail.

We idled down the rest of the way. I hopped off my bike on the street a little ways down from the house instead of pulling into the driveway. The guys followed suit and came towards me.

“I think she’s here she’s not at the f*****g mall.”

“How do you want to do this?” Jared was chomping at the bit to get at her but I had to keep a cool head. I have no idea what’s waiting for me in there and I can’t think about that fuckery right now or I’ll lose my shit.

“I’m going in alone through the back you guys surround the house and some of you head around back to the fence line if she’s not here already she’s coming don’t ask me how I know I just do.”

I left them to follow orders and took a deep breath as I geared myself up to deal with whatever was waiting for me in there.

I eased around the back being as quiet as I could and praying the whole time that just this once my gut was wrong. I was going on pure instinct, nothing looked out of place, there was no screaming coming from inside but I knew.

My heart threatened to stop on me when I thought about my family in danger inside that house. I wanted to scream in rage but I had to tamp down on that impulse, there’ll be time enough to let off steam later.

Taking a deep breath I eased my way around to the outer door. I saw my men getting into position guns drawn. There was no movement coming from inside so I eased the sliding door back as slowly as possible.

I toed off my shoes after placing the laptop on the table in the kitchen. Keeping to the wall I eased my way down the hallway. I heard the voices when I reached the entrance to the living room. Please don’t have my kid in there. That was all I could think of. I didn’t want her caught in the middle of whatever this was.

“It’s all your fault you stupid bitch.”

“Please just let me put the baby down and we can talk.”

F**k she had the kid.

“No give her to me, you took my life now I’m going to take yours, I’m going to kill you and the stupid kid and then guess what? I’m going to f**k your husband before your body’s even cold in the ground.”

“The baby has nothing to do with this, it’s me you’re mad at please just let me put her down.” She sounded scared as f**k and the knots in my gut grew tighter.
