Chapter 153
Danny burst into the room at the worst possible moment. “Boss! We’ve got all three of the rogues in custody.”
I grunted in response, exchanging a glance with her before turning back over my shoulder. “Just as I thought.”
“The two who attacked you and Kennedy are badly beaten. Note to self: never cross Bennet when he’s fired up about Luna. Greta caught the third one scouting around in the woods. None of them are talking yet, so we might have to get a bit more… persuasive.”
I wasn’t sure if Danny realized he’d interrupted us and simply didn’t care, or if he was so accustomed to my readiness to consider rough methods on prisoners that he just expected it. He stood there, eyes fixed on me, waiting for a reaction.
Kennedy remained facing the window, nestled in my arms, silently listening, her breath steady but tense, waiting to see what I would decide.
“Give me a few minutes,” I said, raising an eyebrow at Danny. He returned the gesture with a subtle wiggle of his brows and then backed out of the room deliberately slow, almost as if savoring the moment. Once the door clicked behind him, I pulled Kennedy closer, pressing her firmly against my chest, wrapping my arms around her like a shield. I couldn’t bear the thought of being apart from her anymore.
“I need to find out if this is connected to the attack yesterday,” I murmured, my voice low and serious. “If it is, you’re going to be really mad at me.”
“Yesterday? What attack? When did that happen?” She turned slightly toward me, still avoiding eye contact but not pulling away. I took that as a small victory.
