Chapter 24

• I paused outside the building I had arranged to meet Lou at. It was a restaurant, and not in a bad part of town, as I thought it might be. I’d actually worried it would be in the orange alley Crissy had seen. Biting my lip, I checked my pocket again for the device, making sure, for the fifth time, I had it. I was going to put it on my wrist but thought they may know what it looked like and recognize it.
• I wasn’t entirely sure I should have called him, but the brothers hadn’t taken the card, and I wanted answers. The idea of having to live with a bodyguard or be afraid to leave my apartment didn’t sit well with me. I had been alive these many years without someone dictating what I could or couldn’t do.
• My plan was simple; speak to the man, find out why people were following me and make a graceful exit. If I found out more to help bring those to justice for harming Crissy, it was a double win. In this case justice meant Victor, literally, so no one could get upset if I helped.
