His face twists with disgust. “I think so, yes.”
“So, our fathers deal in cannibalism too? Brother, I’m not going to stop until I have hard proof to take these sick bastards down.”
“So, that’s what you’re doing? Good. It needs to happen... and soon. I want Killer back where she belongs.”
“Agreed. I’m also looking to get deets on Harris and get into Director Asshat’s files.”
“Glad you’re focused, Brother. We need to get the others back here; they need to see this. Then we need to talk about Killer.”
“On it! I’m not sure where they are, but I’ll text the group chat.” I go to my phone.
Me: Frost and I need you guys back here. We need to talk.
Razor: Is it important?
Me: Yes.
Razor: Fine, on my way.
Trikk: I don’t want to leave Bambi’s room. But... okay.
Synn: Coming.
I wait a minute, but there’s no response from Ghost.
Me: Anyone know where Ghost is?
Synn: Nope.
Razor: Haven’t seen him.
Trikk: Sorry bro no.
Fuck. We're going to have to go look for him once the rest of them get back here.
Frost voices my thoughts, “We’ll find him after.”
Chapter 5
Hunter
I'm returningfrom the bathroom, when I hear a loud, “Shit!” from the computer room I’m hanging out in.
I haul ass back inside. “What?” I shout.
Thor responds shakily, “I think I might have found something about your sister, man.”
Hunter Age 14
I take another punch to my gut. I grimace, but give as good as I get. This little fucker isn’t going to steal the money I just got to feed Cynthia.
I hustle the streets to get money for me and my sister. This fucker in front of me is a guy I just hustled at pool, and he’s pissed. Tough shit.
I calmly pull out the gun tucked into the back of my pants and point it at him. “Still want to be tough?”
He holds his hands up. “Whoa, man. It’s cool. I was just pissed. You know, I like your style. Want to make better money?”
I hesitate, then slightly lower the gun. “Doing what?”
