“Fuck you, bitch.” He spat.
I fired my gun at his other knee. Screams of pain echoed through the monstrous house. Pulling my phone from my pocket, I dialed Simon.
“Paige, what’s up?”
“Send your men to Carson Dewberry’s house. All the evidence you need to put him away for life is here.”
“You’re there? What the hell, Paige? Where is Dewberry?”
“Tied to a chair with two bullets in his knees.”
“Jesus Christ,” he sighed. “I’m on my way with backup.”
“I won’t be here when you arrive.” I ended the call.
I waited until I heard the sirens and then slipped out the back door. Climbing into my car, I headed to the marina. Checking my phone, I saw Parker and his family were safe out on the water. This had to end today.
Chapter Fifteen

I approached the boat cautiously with my gun held tightly in my hand. Seventy feet of luxury, and he could be anywhere. I noticed the main cabin door was slightly ajar. I slowly moved inside. The smell of cologne filtered through the air.
“Who the hell are you?” I heard a woman’s voice.
Whipping myself around, I pointed my gun at the woman standing before me.
“Who the hell are you?” I spat back.
“Marian Bennet,” she said.
“You look pretty good for a woman who’s been dead for the last ten years. Over there.” I gestured with my gun.
She took a seat on the couch, gripping the edges of the cushion.
“Where’s Elias?”
“I have no idea who you’re talking about.”
“You can either cooperate or die. It’s up to you.”
“Listen. He’ll kill me. He kills anyone who betrays him. He forced me into this.”
“Mommy,” a little boy around five years old stood, rubbing his eyes as if he’d just woken up from a nap.
“Baby, come here.” She held out her arm.
He ran and snuggled against her.
“Please. He’ll kill both of us.”
“What is your real name?” I asked.
“Sophie Long.”
I tapped my earpiece and called Gabriel.
“Paige, what’s going on?”
