Wolf Bait (Perry and Jonas)

Chapter 183

I'm staring at the evidence in front of me and my mind refuses process it. I couldn't join the King for dinner tonight. I've been locked in my study long enough to take everything out of die boxes and assign each item a place in this room. My blood is rushing and I don't know what to do other than to keep working.

"Perry," the knock behind me startles me, but I choose to ignore. I slip my headphones on and turn up the music.

My hands move over the keyboard as the locations where the gold was stolen from last come up. A transport van in Berlin dates back to three months ago. The months fucking months ago, I have to be missing something. I slide the golden cuff off my wrist and hold it up. There's no way this is happening, but the evidence speaks for itself.

I can't even chalk this up as a copycat. There is no one out there who can mimic something so perfect. Not like this. There's only one and he's been dead for five years. It'll be six in three months.

I growl gripping the hand on my shoulder and pull slamming whoever came in without my permission on my keyboard.

"It's just me," the King says alarmed.

"Fuck. I'm so sorry, Jonas. What are you doing?" I let him go and stand up taking my headphones off. I look back to see he kicked the door in. "Why?"

"You weren't answering the door. I was worried," he says rubbing his wrist. "What's wrong? I can see your energy

I look down and sure enough, my skin is almost glowing. I take a deep breath and shake off the disbelief.

"I had my headphones on. I'm sorry. I lost track of time," I lie. He looks around knowing I'm full of shit, but he chooses to ignore it anyway.

"You finished," he says. "You know what this room can use?"

"Hello Kitty shit?" I say going on long with the light he brought in with him.

"Hello Kitty shit," he smiles. "What's wrong? We're connected, remember? I can feel the stress you're under,"

"The heist," I say sitting back at my desk. I lean back and show him what James sent me.

""What heist?"

"The one that got Scofield the gold. I know who did it,"

"Nice, care to tell me? Should we be worried?" he asks.

"All of it. From the way the van was broken into to the way, everything was removed and rebranded. It was Darren. He has signature. Even in his coding and the only other person who has ever been able to replicate it is me. There is no one else. Not even Bunny can do this shit yet,"
