“Fuck,” I muttered As badly as I’d wanted the fucker dead for what he’d done to Caleb, it would be Caleb who suffered when he learned what had happened He’d blas to it after the confrontation h et a damn break already?

“Caleb’s given me permission to talk to you about this,” I said to Ronan “You too,” I added to Mav Even though Caleb and I hadn’t actually talked about Mav learning the truth about what Jennings and Rush had done to Caleb, I had no doubt that Caleb had known it was inevitable that his brother’s fiancé would need to be clued in “Jennings and a guy named Rush raped Caleb when he was fifteen It happened on a ca trip with Caleb’s father The fucker handed Caleb to them on a silver platter He ainst the men”

Mav lurched out of his chair and went to the back door that overlooked the back yard He gently pounded his closed fist on the glass I suspected if it’d been an actual wall, he would have unleashed the anger I could see cascading throughout his entire body Ronan looked just as pissed, but he remained seated “If he stored them on his computer…” he murmured

He didn’t need to finish the sentence If they’d only been stored on the one computer that Nick had copied the other videos from, then there’d be no proof The pedophile had been sh to install software on his computer that would wipe the hard drive after a certain a into it By the time Daisy had hacked into the computer the day after Jack had been arrested, the files had already been gone The only evidence of Jack’s depravity had been the flash drive There’d been no videos on his phone or his cloud account

“Caleb said he thought Rush worked with his father, but that Rush wasn’t his real name”

Mav returned to the table and sat His expression was drawn tight with anger “We can search the DoD records for someone with a last name or known nickna shot”

“Maybe go back further,” Ronan suggested “College, high school even”

“Caleb said Jennings was friends with his father when they were both in high school Start there,” I said “The ti is too convenient,” I added “Caleb had a gun on hiuy refused to confess to what he’d done Assholes like that don’t feel guilt He strung Caleb along for years with promises that he’d help hi to keep Caleb quiet long enough to keep hi anyone what happened”

“You think Jack put a hit out on Jennings like he did Caleb?” Mav asked

“He’s got the resources,” I said “The guys who hit us out in the woods were pros”

Mav nodded in agrees’ death look like a suicide”

I looked at Ronan “Any chance the coroner will be able to tell?” I asked

Ronan shook his head and put out his hands “All depends on the coroner Sons of a struggle, he’s not likely to order the specific drug tests that will show if he ingested anything that would have knocked hi like GHB would’vehile”
