He nods to Aden next. "Thank you, Aden, so much. For taking care of my girl."

Lennox shakes his head, glaring at Aden a little. "I just got word this morning. Apparently, this house was on lockdown all day yesterday."

"Sorry to have kept you waiting," Aden says, his arms crossed. "It was in the best interests of my security. Do you have any word on what happened two nights ago? Who is responsible for the attack?"

Lennos shakes his head, apparently unsure.

"My men are out there, listening to the word on the street. Our best guess is that it was Colsen." Remington says, spreading his hands. "He's had it out for you, Kenwood, ever since you went to the warden."

I look between them. Colsen? The warden? What the hell was going on?
