“Oh.Did you grow up in it?”
“Nah,” he replied as he turned into the private parking section.“There are four of us.Actually, there are six, but Georgie and Cricket exist in a fentanyl and heroin haze so...Anyway, at one point or another we’d all been stepsiblings.Even though our parents never stayed married for long, we stayed together.For the most part.Aera moved away years ago.”
“Oh, I’m sorry about Georgie and Cricket.”
He shrugged.“It is what it is.Come on.You look ready to drop.”
After exiting the SUV, he walked around to the passenger side, opened the door, and held out his hand.She placed hers in his and he led her to the private elevator.During the quick rise to the top, she leaned against the mirrored panels.Unlike most women, she didn’t talk, and he liked the quiet between them.Reaching the top, he escorted her to his door and bypassed the security measures.She stepped inside and the low lighting immediately responded to motion.Evren preferred warm, darker tones, as opposed to Jeremiah’s penthouse which he felt was cold and sterile.
Lowen looked around before heading to the large floor-to-ceiling windows that had a breathtaking view over Las Vegas.
“It’s beautiful,” she said.
“Most things are from a bird’s-eye view.”
She looked at him, and it was the first time he saw her properly.Delicate features were framed by her long wavy hair, so dark it almost looked black.Long, thick lashes surrounded the most unusual eyes he’d ever seen.Pale blue rims with an amber center.Although innocence radiated from them, they held an underlining measure of sadness.
“Thank you for everything you’ve done tonight,” she murmured.
“I’m glad I was there.Would you like some clothes to sleep in?”Just then his phone rang.He pulled it from his pocket and immediately connected the call.“What’s up, Sax?”
“I don’t know how you knew about the surprise attack, but we got the sons-a-bitches.”Saxon chuckled.“And guess who I had the pleasure of putting out of his misery?Rexx Motherfucking Lackey.”
Evren blinked as he turned to stare at Lowen.Disbelief filled him.
“Rexx Lackey is dead?”
“Deader than my mother’s corpse.”
“And Jeremiah is okay?”
“Oh, yeah.Don’t know how you foretold the future, but thanks to you, our big bro is A-okay.Jones never showed so Direridge was a wash, but we’ll tell you about it later.Peace out.”
The call ended and Evren lowered it.
“How did you know?”he asked in shock.
“I told you.I know the future.”
