BLOOD BY THE HAND OF GUILT

Chapter Thirty Eight

Las Vegas

Kaia walked out of the building purposed for relief and cheating death massaging the area which had been pierced to draw blood.

Kaia had visited Dave, he was still in ICU, she felt a vibration in her bag and took out the phone. It was a private number. She answered anyway.

"Hello?"

"Kaia Caffery?"

"Who is this?"

"My name is Djamon Thambe" He said in a thick African accent.

"……Dave asked me to contact you in case of anything concerning finding a man"

"Dante?, yes…. yes, did you find him?"

"I will text you a location where you can meet me, I have his contact information"

"How about I text you a location, I'm not sure I would like to meet a stranger in a place he chooses"

"Fair enough, I will be waiting"

He hang up.

Kaia immediately texted him the location, a coffee shop. It was her best bet, not an open sapce, not too crowded but open enough to escape with ease in case she felt the need to.

Kaia stopped a cab with one destination in mind.

"Where to?" The black man behind the wheel said.

"Darcy's" She's said.

Kaia arrived at Darcy's and tried to give the voice she had heard on the phone a face. She sacnned through the coffe shop but saw no one who matched the voice she had heard.

'Maybe he is nt here yet" She thought and then a man stood. Slim but tall and very casually dressed. He smiled and waved at her, she approached him.

"Djamon?"

"Yep" He said and pulled her a seat.

"Oh" She sat.

"Guess you were expecting someone more professional" He took his seat.

"And scary" She said and spotted a brown unlabelled envelope in front of him.

He laughed.

He was sweet and very handsome too.

"So, want something?"

"No thank you" She said suddenly feeling dizzy.

Kaia held her head as a pain shot through her head like a single shot had been fired through. She tried to stay composed but he noticed.

"Are you okay?"

"Let's just get to it"

Kaia said but he called for a waiter anyway.

"She could use some water" Djamon said to the waiter who nodded.

"Anything else?" He asked, Djamon answered with a gesture and a smile and walked away.

"I was able to locate Dante, he is here in the states, Arizona"

"Arizona?" Kaia was surprised.

"Not for long, he hardly stays anywhere for long"

"Did you contact him?"

"No, that is your job" He picked up the envelope and stretched his arm out to Kaia.

"Thank you" She said.

He stared at her for a while and frowned.

"I'm sorry about what happened to you and Dave, I know about that too"
