Are You Willing to Trust?

Chapter 56: Killer

Taking a slow deep breath, I focus on my hands taking a moment. My hands continue to shake even though I am trying my best not to move. What had this job gotten me into? Besides getting the shit kicked out of me a couple of times.  Letting out my held breath, is shiver as I reimagine Mr. Daniel's hands running over my skin and I have to swallow back tears. After this, I needed a vacation. 

Leaning down, I hide my shaking by pushing my fingers through my hair before glancing to Victor who is clicking furiously at his computer. "Anything?" Nathan asks impatiently and I glance to Blackbourne who has been leaning against his desk assessing me this entire time. He however stays quiet as I look back to Victor who has a frown placed on his lips. 

"Her real name is Rachel Barens." He states finally looking up from his computer his face slightly pale as his eyes rush over the text. " Arrested five times. Three for prostitution. Two for stealing from Johns." He pauses as his eyes fall to one line on the page before he looks directly at me.  Instantly my blood runs cold, why the hell would this bitch come here of all places? Unless... 

"Check her bank records..." I whisper and all eyes are on me once more before they shift to Victor whose fingers are rushing once more over the key board before pausing. She would need an incentive to come and money was the best incentive I could think of.  He looks up at me and my gut sinks. God why the fuck did I have to be right about this shit?

"Hendricks has been funneling money to her for the past four years." Victor states digging through the money. "It looks like there are a couple of teachers she has been getting money from here. Mr. White, Mr. Lorens, Mr. Daniels." He lists more but I am finished listening. People were fucking disgusting and that would be a wonderful reason to stick around. 

Taking a slow breath, I glance to Mr. Blackbourne. "I think that just about wraps this up. If Candice is running all of this those funds will be the proof the cops need in order to take down this ring." Nodding, Mr. Blackbourne and Nathan move from the room and I sigh laying my head back against the couch. 

It was over it was finally ov-"SHIT" Victor swears loudly and groan letting out a series of swear words. Why the fuck did I have to assume....  

"What?!" I groan trying to still pretend that this wasn't happening.

"She has a warrant for murdering one of her Johns. Apparently the cops think that he refused to pay her the dues he owed." I don't wait for Victor to finish and I definitely don't look for his reaction. There is no time. I am throwing open the door to the office and flying down the hall of the office. I ignore the scared looks as I throw open another door and push through some students walking in the hall. 

If she was willing to murder someone who didn't pay what would she do if she was threatened. 

The thought explodes in my mind as I ram into some freshman as I rush faster down the hall. Banging into a corner, I ignore the pain in my shoulder as I run to the door of the nurses room. Trying it, I swear as I find it locked and step back. Taking a slow breath, I do my best to center myself before round house kicking the door. 

Thankfully it takes basically nothing to knock the door in. Rushing inside, I find Candice on top of Doc on one of the cots with a razor to his neck. Rushing forward I land a hard kick on her side sending her crashing into the cart besides her. Moving to grab for Doc I frown noticing he is completely knocked out but before I can think of a plan, a fist hits my side causing me to crumple. 

"You bitch! You should have stayed out of harms way." Candice or Rachel or what ever the fuck her name is states as she moves back to Doc. Thankfully I am right at the perfect spot and lash my foot out taking out one of her feet and sending her down. 

"And you should know who your opponent is before turning your back, Bitch." I growl back as I shift closer to the girl and grab at her hair. Lifting my knee, I hit her square in the jaw before pulling her up to stand with me. 

"So the kitten finally grew balls," she states and my eyes widen as I see her reach around and slice at me with her knife. I manage to dodge slightly but the second time I am not fast enough and it sliced through my shirt and a bit of skin. Grunting, I let go of her pushing her to the other side of the office away from Doc. 

Reaching for my side, I slip a finger into the wound with a grunt. Not deep but could still use stitches. Doc was going to love this when he wakes up. Keeping my hands up and ready, I watch as she makes the first move stepping forward and stabbing at me with the razor. 

Ducking to the side, I hit her elbow and then at her side sending her down to the floor and I smirk as I reach down and pull her up to her feet my hand on her neck. "No the kitten was actually a lion in disguise." I growl before leaning down and wrapping a tight hand on her neck before lifting her up easily. "And I am a crow get it right." I state before turning to the group of guys now standing in the doorway. 

"So we can burn it now right?"
