"She disappeared off the face of the planet around the time Matthew's probation ended."

Well, that was awfully suspicious. "So you can't find anything on her?"

"Nope. She's either dead or in witness protection."

What were the chances that witness protection was the reason Matthew got off on probation? Backdoor deals were more common than people realized.

"I know I asked you to back off looking into what happened to Atlas, but I think we need the big picture here. Something is going on."

I looked at Maisie for confirmation. It was her brother who asked us to stop, so it should be her decision as well.

"I agree. I want to know what's going on. If there's another reason Matty has taken over for Atlas, then I would like to know what it is. I can't wrap my head around the fact that he's doing it because he believed in Atlas's teachings."

I hoped for her sake that what Nolen found wouldn't put a negative light on her brother. She needed him to be the hero in this situation.

"Let us know what you find. In the meantime, we're going back to enjoying our night."

"Have fun, kids. Don't do anything stupid."

I hung up the phone and reached for the remote. I shut the TV off before Maisie could say anything.

"Enough of that. I have other ways I want to spend the rest of our night."

I slipped my arm around her lower back and slid her down so her head was resting on the pillow and I was looking down at her.

"Oh, yeah? What did you have in mind?"

I traced my fingers up her leg. "I would rather show you."

And I did exactly that until she passed out from the three orgasms I gave her.

CHAPTER TWENTY-THREE

Maisie

What the hell was all that banging?

"Make it stop . . ." I dragged the pillow over my head and squished the sides into my ears to try and drown out the awful noise that was cutting into my precious sleeping time.

"Sweetheart, get up and get dressed. Your brother’s outside."

"What?" It was like someone shot a bolt of adrenaline straight to my heart, I jumped up so fast. "How do you know?"

Hendrix handed me his phone. "I can see him on the camera. Now get dressed so we can see why he's waking up the whole neighborhood."

I scrambled out of bed in search of my panties. I couldn't be sure if they were on the right way or inside out. I tagged the first pair of pants I found and quickly realized they were Hendrix's, not mine. Oh well. I rolled them a couple times, and voila, they fit. I was scrambling to find a shirt when Hendrix tossed one at me. "Here, put this on."

I worked my arms through the holes while making my way out the door. Thankfully I didn't run into a wall or piece offurniture in my attempt to pull the garment over my head therefore leaving me blind for a few seconds. I also thanked the god I didn’t necessarily believe in that Hendrix kept a clean bedroom floor except for a few pieces of clothing next to the bed. Otherwise I would’ve tripped and fell in my haste to get out of the room.

It wasn't until we were close to the front door that I realized Hendrix was carrying a gun. "Why the hell do you have that?"

"Because, I'm sorry to say, sweetheart, but nobody comes banging on a door in the middle of the night with good news. Now stay behind me."

I couldn't argue with that logic. I also figured for once I would listen to Hendrix's demand rather than fighting with him. I doubted my brother was here to cause harm, but I could see how a middle-of-the-night visit would be bad.

The second Hendrix had the door open, Matty was pushing his way through it and yelling at us.

"I thought I told you to stop digging! Now you've gone and fucked everything up!"
