.He crouched just below the window of the bedroom they'd given Don and SharonMeadows.It was time to pay the man a little visit.They'd told him the window waswired, but there was no alarm on, not until Kadan knew exactly what he was dealingwith.Just in case Don had his own method of alarms, he checked all around the windowand listened for the telltale hum of a live wire.It was silent, other than a few soft snoresfrom Tansy's father.Kadan slipped his blade along the windowsill before levering the window up.He'd madecertain there would be no noise when he opened the window, before he'd ever put thecouple in the room to begin with.He went headfirst into the room, creeping down thewall to the carpeted floor, knife in his teeth, Ryland right behind him.They split up, one on either side of the large double bed.Ryland pulled out the airsyringe and made certainSharon would stay asleep.When he was certain she was out, hesignaled Kadan and slipped into the shadows where Don wouldn't detect him.Nico tookup a position just outside the window, where he could train a gun on the man at all times.Kadan crept up the wall at the head of the bed and slipped behind Don to settle hisweight carefully.He didn't bother with a knife; if he had to kill Don, he would do it withhis bare hands.He didn't want blood forSharon to wake up and find.He placed his hand carefully on the man's throat and pressed hard enough to wake him.ABC Amber LIT Converterhttp://www.processtext.com/abclit.htmlABC Amber LIT Converterhttp://www.processtext.com/abclit.htmlDon's eyes snapped open and he stiffened.Kadan's fingers dug deeper, letting him feel his enormous strength."I wouldn't move if Iwere you," he said quietly."I'm a patient man, Mr.Meadows, but I'm tired tonight, andI've got a long day ahead of me tomorrow.I'm going to ask a couple of questions, andwhether you live or die in the next few minutes depends on your answers."Don flicked a quick glance at his wife, his lips compressing tightly."She's fine.I can read minds, and hers was fairly open.She loves you and Tansy.Thetwo of you are her world.She despises Peter Whitney and can't understand why youinsist on having him in your lives when you know he's a monster." Kadan leaned close."Ican't understand why you would ever risk your daughter with that man.You know she'sone of his experiments."Don jerked, his eyes widening in shock."You think the government doesn't know about all the little girls whose heads he fuckedup? He did the same thing to a bunch of Special Forces men.I'm one of those men.I don'thave a lot of love for Whitney and you shouldn't either.""I don't," Don snarled."I despise the man."Kadan stared down into the defiant, angry eyes and read guilt.He didn't let up on thepressure at all."You despise him, yet you force your daughter to see him even when shesays he makes her uncomfortable.""It was part of the adoption agreement.""You knew what he'd done when you adopted her." Kadan made it a statement.Don's gaze shifted."Damn it, this isn't any of your business."Kadan leaned down, staring into the man's eyes.He wanted no mistakes, because thistime, Meadows had better understand fully what and whom he was dealing with."Tansy'smine now, and I take care of my own.I will kill you and never look back.Meadows.Give me a reason not to.I don't much like you and you sure as hell don't have to like me,but if you want to live, you'd better answer my questions.I can smell lies and deceit allover your sorry ass."Don pressed his lips together harder.Kadan gave him one last chance."Do you know what he's doing with those girls now?Do you know why he wants Tansy back? He has a breeding program.The women don'thave to be cooperative, just get pregnant by the men he chooses for them.He wants thebabies.That's the man you're protecting.That's the man you're giving your daughter to."ABC Amber LIT Converterhttp://www.processtext.com/abclit.htmlABC Amber LIT Converterhttp://www.processtext.com/abclit.htmlDon stared up at him with shrewd eyes.The man had an enormous IQ.He wassuccessful in a highly secretive world, quite brilliant and much respected in his chosenfield.He might be arrogant, but he had some cause to be.Kadan remained silent underthe close scrutiny.There was no doubt in his mind that Don was making up his mindabout his future son-in-law.Kadan knew what he was seeing.Rough, cold, lines etcheddeep.The picture wasn't pretty and it shouldn't be.Kadan would kill him if it wasnecessary and he wouldn't lose sleep over it.If Don Meadows saw nothing else, Kadanwanted him to see that."I went to school with him.He was elite.Tons of money.His parents were billionaires,you know.The school was full of people with money, but few in his class.I was there ona scholarship.It was a private boarding school and I was young, wanting to fit in withouta hope in hell of doing so.I was homesick, but this was a chance of a lifetime and myparents were so proud that I'd been chosen for the honor of attending such an eliteschool."Don sighed and shifted slightly, glanced at his wife and then back up at Kadan."If I'mgoing to tell you this, can I at least sit up?"Kadan held his gaze."You've got a sniper who never misses pointing a gun at your head.You have one of my team sitting across the room from you holding another gun in hishands and he doesn't miss either.And just so you know, I'd kill you before either of themgot off a shot." He pulled his hand away from the man's throat and backed up a few steps,completely confident in his speed and ability to carry out his threat if Don made a wrongmove.Don rubbed his throat, sliding his body cautiously forward and folding into a sittingposition.He reached forSharon 's hand and checked her pulse."My wife has nothing todo with any of this.If you kill me, give me your word you won't harm her."Kadan's eyebrow shot up."You'd believe me?""You're a hired killer, Mr.Montague, but you're not a liar."Kadan kept his expression blank.That wasn't exactly the truth.He'd do whatever it tookto complete a mission, but he shrugged his shoulders."Your wife won't be harmed."For a moment relief showed in Don's eyes, then his gaze flickered away.Yeah.Therewas guilt there.The man was knee-deep in dirt."Peter Whitney is an incredibly intelligent man.I admire intelligence.We gravitatedtoward one another.I was younger, and in a school where everyone has money anddegrees of it it's difficult to fit in.I wanted what they all had."Kadan remained silent.He might understand it, but he had a bad feeling, and a part ofABC Amber LIT Converterhttp://www.processtext.com/abclit.htmlABC Amber LIT Converterhttp://www.processtext.com/abclit.htmlhim was already mourning for Tansy.As he watched Don talk, taking in the shape of hiseyes and the silver hair, things began to click [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
