Gatlin knelt before Elliott, his hands shaking as he begged for mercy.

Elliott nodded slowly. "Good. As for what happens next that's her problem.

"What's the situation with Joanna and her mother?"

One of the bodyguards hesitated before speaking. Joanna and Marge were living in a house on the western edge of the city, but today, the landlord took it back." Elliot's face darkened. He glanced out the window at the heavy rain. "What?" His voice was a low growl. "Where are they now?"
