Once I am certain Noah is gone, I reach for my kitchen knife.

“What did you do to Addison,” I bark.

“I told you I sent her home.”

I shake my head. “That isn’t your style. Where’s her body, you piece of shit? You stuff her in a garbage bag and throw her out the window? You dismember her parts and stick them in my freezer? Where is she?!” My heart is screaming, but I tone it out as well as I can. “Where.Is.She?”

Killian grabs a bottle of liquor from the cabinet and takes a long sip. He then slams it down, which causes me to jump.

“Whatever happened to the pretty babysitter is not my fault, Ezra.”

“Then whose is it?” I snap.

Killian smiles. “It’s yours.”

I swallow the bile that has risen in my throat.

“How thehellis it mine?”

“Because,” Killian takes another sip and then wipes his lips with his hand. “You weren’t supposed to make it out of that basement.”

“And yet I did.”

Killian puts the bottle down again, nodding.

“All because Joey failed to do his job.”

“Don’t youdarebring him up,” I growl.

“And what are you gonna do about it?”

“Keep talking, and you’ll find out.” I twirl the knife around in my forefingers. “And I wouldn’t underestimate me if I were you. I am not the same person I was in that cell.”

Killian laughs. “Well you couldn’t have changedthatmuch, sweetheart.” He eyes me up and down. “After all, you still look like a woman to me.”

“Hey, dude,” a voice calls out. “Early America called, and they want their shitty misogynistic views back.”

I turn and smile at Briggs, who has a gun pointed at Killian’s head.

She must’ve sensed I was in danger.

“Who the hell are you?”

My cousin smiles. “That’s not important.”

Killian snorts. “Well, I don’t mind taking on two bitches. I’ve done it before.”

“We’ll see.”

Briggs then drops the gun down and pulls the trigger, sending a bullet into Killian’s cock. He lets out a grunt before falling to the floor.

“That was for raping my baby cousin.” Briggs holsters her gun and hoists Killian up by his shirt. “You make another peep, and I’ll saw your dick off.”

He spits. “If you think a bullet is going to keep me down, then you’re even dumber than your cousin.”

Briggs grips him by his hair, and pulls his head back to reveal his neck. She then sends a shot to his throat. “I said shut it.”

Killian angrily looks my way.
