He nods. "Just checked him in myself a minute ago."
What has he done now? "Did he go on a killing spree?"
My brother gives me an exasperated look. "His crazy ass killed a whole warehouse full of people this time. Prepare yourself, because he’s also brought a girl back with him, I think I had a class with her last semester. He said he saved her from a group of killers called the Croc Assassins."
Dear God."What the hell is wrong with this damn island?"
He shrugs. "It's kind of entertaining when you think about it."
When you are a killer yourself, I guess it kind of is. “How’s Drew?”
He smiles. “Begging for us to kill him.”
I growl. That's a negative. He hasn’t suffered enough. "Where's Presley Kate?"
He glances down at the open app on his phone. "She's at Jane’s just like she promised."
Sweet relief. "Good." If someone else touches her, I'd be worse than the Madd Hatter.
Sitting down on my couch, Kai huffs in frustration. "Look Gunner, I know we need to be gentle with her, but I’m not going to be able to hold off much longer. I pushed her up against a fucking wall today, and smelled her! All I've thought about since, is how good it would have felt to fuck her up against that damn wall."
"How did she respond?" It's one thing to think she feels the same, and another to know without a shadow of doubt. She's a good girl, and good girls don't fuck their step brothers.
"Beautifully. She was breathless, Gunner. I'm losing my patience." He replies honestly.
I understand that sentiment all too well. "Let’s give her two more weeks, then we’ll move her into the house. It’ll be easier to show her how good her life will be that way.”
He nods. “I’m calling first dibs on her sleeping with me the first night.”
I flip him off. “Fuck that, you get to sleep with her all the time when you stay at her house, and I know it’s not because you accidentally fall asleep. Asshole.”
“It sucks being her professor, it would look too suspicious if you slept over. Being a student does have its advantages.” The fucker laughs.
“Whatever. I've been meaning to tell you all day, we have reason to believe The King of Hearts is in Pixie Hollow."
My brother's expression shifts to worry. "Do you think that’s who killed Sierra Rose?"
I nod. "He's escalating, too. There’s been another killing. Hislatest victim was a PHU student, a member of Neverseas Academy. The Lost Boyz are pissed that it happened in their territory.
"Do they have any suspects?" He asks.
“No, but they want us to do a behavioral analysis for their criminal profile on him.”
He grunts. “If they only knew who they were asking.”
Kai's phone starts ringing before we can talk strategy. "I'm at work, Dec. What the fuck? Send me a picture now. Follow them and keep me updated. I'm on the way."
Standing up from my desk, I wait for the details. This has to do with Presley, he would never react that way about anyone else, and while it's pissing me off, I'm a little bit proud of her.
That feeling of pride doesn't stop my anger from boiling to the surface. She used Aurora Jane as a diversion and I bought it hook, line, and sinker. I’m going to enjoy making her take her punishment.
Kai knew she was up to something, but I dismissed it as his jealousy.
He punches my office wall, leaving a small hole before handing me his phone. Presley is walking hand in hand on a moonlit beach with some asshole. My hands shake with fury.
"Bring her to me, Kai." I bark my order.
He nods. "What do you want me to do with him?"
