“I’ll take you.”
“He’ll know.” She took my hands. “You should call him to your office to discuss something, and I’ll get to your parents and tell them what we know. You can deal with Milli from there.”
“Okay. Are you sure? Maybe we should call my parents up?”
She shook her head. “Milli’s too observant. If we start doing things out of the ordinary, he’s going to know, and if he feels backed into a corner.”
“Yeah. He’ll just fly off the handle.” I set my head in her lap. “I’m so sorry.”
“Please stop apologizing. You didn’t know,” I said. “But we should go now because we don’t have much time. He’s gonna figure it out soon.”
“Yeah. Let’s go.”
We returned to the elevator and took it down two floors to the level with my office. Though I was so unbelievably leery to leave Avion’s side, I trusted that she could get to my parents okay. Still, I pulled one of my pistols out and handed it over to her. “Be careful.”
“You too. I’ll see you soon.”
“Okay.” I started off the elevator, but then stopped and turned back around, slamming my hand in the frame of the elevator to stop the doors from climbing. “Hey…”
“Yeah?” she replied.
I smiled at her. “I love you too.”
She looked at me surprised, but then stepped closer to me and kissed me. “Kelly owes me twenty bucks.”
I let out a laugh. “Yeah.” Then the realization hit me. “You have Kelly’s number now right?”
“Yeah.”
“When you get to my parents, call her. Have Punk come to you guys and send Kelly up to my office,” I explained.
She nodded. “Yeah. Okay.” She gave me one more quick kiss before pushing me off the elevator and I watched as the doors closed to her face.
It was all in her hands now, at least that part of it was.
I had a traitor to take out.
My office was locked when I got there, so I opened the door, slipped in and locked it behind me. I pulled out my phone and dialed Milli’s number, trying to fight back the anger in my voice. “Hey.”
“Hey boss,” he said. “What’s going on?”
“I need you to come up to my office,” I said. “I know who the traitor is.”
He curtly responded, “I’m on my way,” before hanging up the phone.
With him on the way to me, I did a quick sweep of the office. When Milli came in the night before when Avion and I got back home, he knew that Avion came back with me even though he had no way of knowing.
Not unless there was a camera somewhere.
I checked under the desk, in the bookcase shelves, and under the chairs, unable to find anything until I chanced a glance upwards. It was almost impossible to see because of where it was hidden, but disguised as the hardware at the tip of the domed light fixture was a small, black camera. I hopped up on one of the chairs and ripped it out of the fixture. If he was streaming what was going on in my office to the Narzand brothers, he wouldn’t be anymore.
Not long after I pulled it out, there was a knock on my door. “Hang on,” I called out.
I quickly stashed the broken camera in my desk drawer and then walked over and opened the door. I was expecting Milli, but it was Kelly. “Hey,” she said. “Everything okay?”
“Avion called you?” I asked.
“She texted me. Said she needed Punk to meet her in your parents’ bedroom and for me to come meet you up here,” she replied. “You look crazy. What’s wrong?”
