Page 59 of Cameron's Contract

Shay glanced over the cubicle to check we could talk. “There’s been an incident back in L.A.”

“For God sake, Shay, I’m in a fucking meeting—”

“Decker’s dead.”

“What?”

“My men were following him. He tried to evade us. He drove into a wall.”

“Are you sure?”

“Quite sure.”

“Adrian?”

“Turned up for work and then halfway through his shift disappeared.”

“He’s probably at the hospital.”

Shay shook his head. “No, he identified his brother’s body at the morgue then went off to work like nothing happened. Worked half his shift.”

“Any sign of grieving?”

“No, just presented like your regular sociopath.”

“Where the fuck did he go?”

“We’re trying to locate him.”

“Don’t tell Mia.”

“Of course.”

“Fuck!” I caressed my forehead.

“We’re watching his house.”

“I have to get back.”

“Breaking for lunch?” He nodded toward the conference room.

I turned and stared at the board memberstrickling out.

My hands fisted with tension and I walked briskly back toward them. “Ladies, gentlemen, we’ve not quite finished.”

They ignored me and headed off, talking amongst each other, their arrogance raw and uncompromising.

Stunned, I watched them go.

Henry appeared in a panic and pulled me back inside the conference room.

“What just happened?” I said.

Henry shut the door. “We lost them, Cameron.”

A wave of panic came over me. “How?”

Dad neared us and rested his hand on my shoulder. “They changed their mind on the vote.”
