“Who’s keeping watch?”
“Fabian got out on bail. The Gates family has him now.”
“Out on bail? That’s interesting. If there’s no one official guarding him, then go get him. Bring him straight out.”
He hurt her and thought he could get away with it? Fabian needed to learn what real fear felt like.
Laurinda opened the car door and slipped into the passenger seat. York headed to the driver’s side. As soon as he reached the car, the driver jumped out and handed over the seat. York slid behind the wheel, hit the gas, and the car sped away from the hospital.
Two cars parked at the curb quickly followed. In no time, they all pulled up right in front of the hospital’s main entrance.
Laurinda was just about to get out when York’s hand closed around her arm. “Jack says you’re not getting out. He’s handling this himself.”
Looking through the window, Laurinda saw a man get out of a nearby car. He waved at her, signaling for her to stay put.
She understood everyone was just trying to keep her safe, so she didn’t argue. She stayed in the car and waited for them to bring Fabian out.
Meanwhile, Fabian sat on his hospital bed, happily munching on fruit. His arm was in a cast and he had a minor concussion, but none of that seemed to bother him.
He’d wanted to deal with Bonnie for a long time. The nerve of her, thinking she could use dirt on him to keep him in line. Like he was someone she could control.
If he couldn’t destroy the evidence, he’d just get rid of her. It’s not like a dead woman could rat him out.
The more Fabian thought about it, the more smug he felt. Then, suddenly, his hospital door crashed open. A dozen huge men stormed in.
Alice, who’d been taking care of Fabian, shot to her feet, eyes wide with fear.
“Who are you people? Get out! Leave now!”
Jack stared at Fabian, who just sat there clutching a cherry, frozen in shock. Jack pushed Alice aside, barely glancing at her, eyes narrowing.
