“How did they find out so fast?” Tyler asked, leaning over the freshly dug space in which those three men were dug up. Currently, they were being carted off to a police station, where the M.E. would examine the body and point out the cause of death.As if it wasn't already obvious, a shot to the chest killed them all. Unfortunately, the bullets would be traced back to the gun he used to dispatch the men to the great beyond. One good about him though was his quick thinking.That same night, he dispatched the gun into a bay just along the way. Thankfully, Katerina was way out of it too much to remember that pit stop. “I have no idea boss.” Scott stared at the hole with his face squeezed up in annoyance. Not one for words, he looked thoroughly pissed off at the police making this discovery. “Is it possible that one of them had some tracking devices that were still transmitting even after I shot him?” Tyler mused, rubbing his chin as he considered all avenues.Scott shrugged, burying hi
Tyler was so out of it that he didn't pay enough attention to where he was going, bumping into a woman who came out from a room. “Sorry!” He called out, going on his merry way.When he got to the Intensive Care Unit ward, all he could see were different people crowded in the small waiting room. Some were morose and somber while the others were sobbing their eyes out.Tyler was at a loss how to handle situations like these. According to the nurse from earlier, Katerina was still in surgery but does that mean she'll be moved to another room or-“I think we should check in there, we might find nurses on duty that would attend to us,” Skylar suggested which sounded like a good idea other than staying here, trapped with people who were possibly going through the same thing he was.Skylar led the way and Tyler followed, which was an odd change in dynamics but he just went along with things, too exhausted mentally to care.“Hello, please my uncle and I are confused. We've been looking for th
Tyler watched the lady doctor walk away after her little speech, leaving then resigned with the news and little to nil how for the future.He had many questions swiping through his brain that needed answers.Why did she leave the house?According to the reports he'd overheard from one of the spectators that were on scene when it happened, she was driving along Newport Road, which is pretty far away from their home, about four to five miles away.Was there someone she wanted to visit there?Who was the person?Who-His head snapped up, his eyes searching for Skylar, flicking his wrists in a come hither motion. Skylar kicked off from the wall he was leaning against, a respectable distance. “Boss?”“I need your help.” Tyler licked his dry lips. “I need you to help me find the guy who did this to Katerina.”“What? The guy driving the SUV?” “Yes, exactly. Find him, ask him what he knows, and most importantly why he rammed into her car which was on opposite ends of the lane.” He instructed
“Can you believe the guts on that Tyler guy?” Esther huffed, slamming the door closed behind her. Dylan only hummed in response, which she didn't really need going on and on about what happened in the hospital like he wasn't there. “Kicking things around and storming like he's a teenager on drugs! Is it just me or did he seem really suspicious when I mentioned Katerina?”Dylan didn't hear the question, pulling the cuff links out of his shirt one after the other, deep in thought.Esther realized that her husband wasn't listening to her and smacked him on the arm. “Dylan, are you even listening to me?!”He started, the stinging penetrating through his thought processes. “Yes, I am! What is it?”She kicked off her shoes the moment they got to the bedroom, heading towards the mirror to remove the numerous pins in her hair. “I was asking you if you saw how he behaved when I accused him of hurting Kate?”“Oh, yeah, I did. For someone who says he didn't harm a hair on her head, he did look q
“Boss?” Tyler heard a faint ringing from the other side but was too disoriented to figure it out, holding his head. “Boss, can you hear me?”He groaned, trying to swipe the voice away so he could be left alone in peace.Unfortunately, that wasn't to be. A gentle but firm tap on his back made him peel his lashes back over his eyes peering up at the blurry figure in front of him. “Whaaaaat?” He slurred, holding on to the table for fear he would slip away.“You have a visitor, sir. Should I let him in?”Tyler waved a yes or said something similar to that front, just so the pestering whiny voice could leave him alone.However, the person who walked through the front door was the last person he hoped to see.Ethan McGee strolled the door, ducking so his 6”2 inches body could fit through the doorway.Dressed in a sleek, black suit that was custom-made to fit his size, his hair slicked back so his face was prominent, the cool businessman look did nothing to dissuade anyone from the raw masc
The visit from Ethan was indeed a godsend, placing Tyler on the right path.He took some time off work to focus on who might have hurt his wife, and why she was driving down that lane in the first place.With enough time on his hands, he and Skylar covered more ground than possible…his quest to find his family killer was on hold for now.Also, he was able to face the fact that he was being a coward avoiding Katerina when all he should be doing was by her side, so he resolved to go see her later…when he was done.“Boss?” Skylar yelled but his voice was muffled by the headphones he was putting on. “Boss, I've got something!”Tyler pulled it off, tossing it onto his table. “What is it?”Skylar turned his laptop around so it was facing him. “Look, tell me what you see?”Tyler's eyes scanned the information on the screen but he couldn't process it. “What should I be looking at right now?”Skylar rolled his eyes, tilting the screen slightly towards him. “According to police reports and from
“Yes?” Tyler turned around slowly, only to meet a busty redhead with a very tight skirt on and heels that made her leg go on for miles. She looked like every man's wet dream and if it wasn't for the fact that he was head over heels in love with Katerina, in another life, he would have contemplated hooking up with her. “Can I help you?”“You called earlier, didn't you?” She stopped, a couple of feet away, hips cocked to the side. “Said you wanted to speak to Mr Kincaid?”“How did you know I was the one?” He arched a brow.She responded with a flirty smile. “You seem like a Mr Redwood. Can you come with me please?”He fell into step with her, his long legs eating up the distance. “I didn't quite catch your name, Miss…?”“Stacy.” She glanced back at him. “Stacy Rivers.”They stopped in front of an elevator, pausing until the elevator doors opened and they stepped in. It was clear from the change in her posture and suggestive looks she was giving him that she expected him to hit on her b
It was one thing to open your eyes when you thought you'd never open them again, but it's another to see a couple of strange people in scrubs and lab coats, leaning over you and talking to one another.Katerina tried to open her mouth and say something but all that came out was a pitiful little squeak, one that couldn't be heard over the din.Her hand flexed, wishing Tyler was here but sadly she had to face the reality.They must have dozed her with something because when next she was awake, the room was empty and quiet, save for the beep, beep of monitors.Turning her head to the side, she saw three people gathered around through the window. From the worried looks on their faces, it's safe to say they were talking about her.Why though…she couldn't tell.Tyler's knee was bouncing against the tiles as he waited for the doctor to come out. He needed to know how she was and what was going on before he went crazy with the possibilities.Even though he wanted to have more time with her to
