Chapter 9
Mark
Xavier had gone too far. Mark knew that the man had been looking into past cases and it scared the daylights out of him.
He had gone this long without anyone looking at him too closely or his cases and now he had Reid’s closest friend on the force sniffing around?
He had to stop this and, in any way, possible he would.
He had already told the main chief that he was taking a vacation for a few weeks and then he went home.
He got everything he needed. He didn’t relish this part, but it was something that needed to be done. He would end Xavier and Reid.
They stood in the way, as had Nikolai, and he would do what was necessary to stay on the top.
He had worked for too long and too hard to have some stupid rookies ruin it all for him.
And damn it, they deserved everything they were going to get at his hands.
If they had just left it alone, no one would be hurt.
But they kept questioning things that they shouldn’t and looking into things that were best left undiscovered.
He couldn’t have those two ruin everything. He refused to allow that.
So, he drove slowly to Xavier’s house, watching it, checking to make sure he was there and that he was alone and got everything ready to kidnap the man.
He drove a large SUV and knew with absolute certainty it could hide Xavier’s body from sight.
This wasn’t the first time that he had taken a man that had looked into his past and he knew it wouldn’t be the last.
Getting rid of the evidence wasn’t hard and he was a professional at it now.
He knew the man lived alone and it was to his advantage really.
He walked to the front door and knocked and when Xavier opened it, his guard immediately went up in his eyes.
“Sir? Can I help you?”
Mark pulled his gun from his pocket and pointed it at Xavier’s chest, “Actually, there is something you can do, you can come with me right now.” He snarled the last part and Xavier put his hands up in surrender.
Mark pushed Xavier out to his car and even though Xavier had at least forty extra pounds of muscle and several inches on him, Mark knew most men wouldn’t do anything to get shot.
As soon as he was in the back seat, Mark pricked him with the needle full of sedatives he had acquired weeks ago and Xavier slumped over, out cold.
He needed to hurry now. He didn’t want anyone to see him, even though the street was quiet, there were always eyes.
Tying Xavier up to the seat of the car and to the bolts he had in the floor, he knew the man wouldn’t have any way to escape, but he didn’t want to take any chances.
And now he needed to find Reid.
He looked through Xavier’s phone and found Reid’s contacts.
Mark texted Reid as Xavier, seeing that the man was planning a trip anyway.
Xavier: Hey there. On my way to see you, text me your address again?
Reid: Okay
