Chapter 0445 The old man squinted at me before recognition spread across his face.


    “The fuck do you want?” He asked before sitting down. With no coffee to hold, his hands kept fidgeting


    around.


    “Just wanted to have a little chat with you.” “Last time you wanted to chat, your hands cut off my air


    supply.” He grumbled a few thing that I didn’t catch but I could assume what the gist of it was.


    “You can understand someone in my position might need to use....


    unfavorable tactics to achieve a certain oue.”


    “Go blow your shit up someone else’s ass.” He waved me off as he got up and limped to his cabs.


    Pulling out a tee bag, he filled a dirty mug with some brown water before putting the tea bag in it. His


    immune system must be Strong. €9 “It has been brought to my attention that you are running out of


    money. Vin isn’t supplying you anymore and now you are feeling it.” To give the old man credit, he


    barely even flinched but his eyes gave him away. “Rumors.” “Just because they are rumors, doesn’t


    make it false.” Leaning forward, I pulled out my wallet. Grabbing a hundred, I tossed it over to him.


    “There is more where that came from.”


    “Why the fuck do I want your money?” His eyes lingered on it but he just sat back and didn’t touch it. .


    “You need it. This ce is going out of business and by the looks of it, you don’t even have electricity.”


    He grumbled and huffed. “How do you even know that?” He asked like it wasn’t obvious.


    “Is that a serious question? Your light switches are all on. You heated up your coffee over an open


    me and now you are drinking cold tea. Probably since that is a caffeine tea, you will be struggling


    today. Let’s have a serious discussion.” “What do you want?” “Information.” The old man leaned back


    and tried to


    put his bad leg over his good leg but winced and put it back down. Then he moved so he was sitting


    more upright but decided against it and sat back again. “What kind of information?” “Have you ever


    heard of the phrase, ‘the enemy of my enemy is my friend’?” I asked.


    “Who''s our enemy?” He asked, ncing over at me.


    “Vin.” Ilooked at him like he was stupid. “We both know I want Vin fucking dead yesterday. Since Rip


    died, you haven’t been getting paid.


    Knowing Vin and by the looks of things, you aren’t getting paid. I think we both would benefit if Vin was


    removed from the equation. My family is safe and you can continue to do


    whatever it is your heart desires.” “I don’t have information on Vin.” | It was the old man’s turn to look at


    me like I was stupid. “You''re lying.” I said simply.


    “How so?” mming his cup down, cold tea spilled everywhere but neither of us flinched. For starters,


    it was cold tea and second, neither of us cared.


    “You know Gunther. Gunther is his right hand man. I''m sure he has told you something and I’m sure


    there has been talk. Someone like you doesn’t closes his ears to the noise around him.” “You want me


    to double dip.” “Call it what you want but I only want Vin. My soul purpose is to kill him, otherwise I


    wouldn’t be here. Now, |


    can do that with or without your help.


    If Ido it without, I''ll take this ce down with him. If you don’t believe me, ask Rip what I am capable of.


    If you work with me, you get to keep this hell whole and make some money off it.” “What about after?”


    “After what?” He stood up and limped over to the windows and looked out. The sun was starting to


    peak through the trees and my time was running out. “The offer is not an outstanding thing. You either


    ept it or don’t.” “You are putting me at a very difficult position.” He kept looking through the window


    like he was looking for something... or someone. @


    “I''ll see you tonight.” I said before | stood up. My body towered over him as I reached for the door. -


    “Tonight?” Looking back, he was gauging my reaction.


    “I''ll be watching. You won’t see me, hear me or even feel me but I''ll always be watching your every


    move.


    Especially, if you decline my offer.” Not giving him a chance to respond, I opened the door and ran out


    of the house. Everything in me told me it was time to go. My extra sense was ringing and that was


    something I didn’t listen to. Even my wolf was feeling agitated.


    From the corner of my eye, I saw some movement.


    Pausing... another sh of something small and brown ran past the trees. It


    wasn’t until a small brown wolf stopped and made eye contact with me did I realize what it was. ke.


    They made it to the show.


    As I reached Alec, he was getting down from the tree. “Some yers just showed up. You got out right


    in the nick of time. I about had ke get you out.” “Thad a feeling it was time to go.” I whispered as


    Alec was finishing something up. “What are you doing?” “Putting up a camera.” “It will be able to see


    his house from here?” I asked, a little taken aback.

    “No but it will span this area. This is where Gunther came inst time so maybe we can identify some


    characters. Later tonight we can install more.” The feeling was still nagging me. My wolf was pacing in


    my head, waiting for something to happen. “We need to go.” I said urgently.


    “Yeah.” Alec looked around before tossing up the end of the cord. “Let’s go.” This time, Alec and I


    sprinted back to the vehicle. Not wanting to get caugh but what made our hair stand up was the sounds


    of wolves growling.
