Chapter 14

The message flashed on the screen from the special number only he and his brother had access to.

-Coming to the meet?

He texted back quickly.

-Yes. I’ll be there before 4.

-You ok?

-Yeah. Something came up.

-WTF?

-Tell u later. Hang tight.

-Something’s not right. Heard them talking. They’re up to something.

-That wasn’t good.

-Guys were tailing you.

His muscles tightened to the point of screaming. Breathe. Breathe.

-HOW?

-Got your fake ID, credit card. Make of car. They want to take you out. Me too.

Shit. They’d been tailing him.

Had they managed to tail him all the way? Were they outside now? Watching?

He’d leave. Immediately. If they were after him, they’d follow the car, and they wouldn’t even notice the house.

And he had to do it now.

And Ian...

-Hang tight, Little Bro. I’m coming -I think they know I know. Not good, bro.

-On my way.

Ian's text came blazing back.

-Save yourself. I’m a goner.

And then, even scarier than what he’d said before, something he’d never heard from his brother before, not since he’d become a man…

-Love you, bro.
