If Gabriel Finch was standing inside her parents’ sitting room, this
wasn’t a good thing.
Faith Appleton knew her brother wasn’t home. The cops had refused to
go find him because he was a known problem. She’d been trying to take care
of him for the last seven years, but since he turned eighteen, that had been
impossible. He dropped out of school, began to hang around with the wrong
crowd. He’d stolen, not just from shops, but also from her and their parents.
Their parents had died in a car accident when she was eighteen and
Nigel was eleven. It was tough, but she’d been able to care for him, so he
didn’t get taken from her. In the beginning it had been fine. They got along
well, but then, they were brother and sister. Peace hadn’t lasted, though.
The man before her wasn’t a good man, or a kind man. She knew Nigel
had several encounters with Gabriel before, and none of them ended well.
There was no point in calling the cops as he had them on his payroll.
There was no point in alerting anyone. Gabriel ruled this city with an iron
fist. You either had to stay under his radar, or bow down to him.
She’d stayed under his radar for a long time, until her brother attempted
to steal from him. Then she’d become very much a beacon for these visits.
Tonight wasn’t good. She hadn’t seen Nigel in three days. She had tried to
call him, but he wouldn’t answer his cell. He’d not returned home. There had
been no contact.
Now Gabriel had come to visit her at midnight.
She was still dressed, even though she had gotten in from work nearly
five hours ago. After their parents passed, she had gotten a job at a fashion
boutique. She loved the job, and had gone from a sales assistant, to personal
assistant, to manager, helping run the shop in an ever-increasing struggle.
They were thriving while other shops had started to fail.
Faith knew she made a good living, not a great one, but she made
enough for herself and Nigel so they could continue to live in the city, with a
few luxuries. She didn’t need anything else.
This was the first time Gabriel had stepped foot inside her home.
She had thought her parents’ modest, three-bedroom city home was
rather spacious but with Gabriel inside, it no longer felt big. It felt small.
Rubbing her hands together, trying not to show him he unnerved her, or
that she was ready to throw up, she looked at him and waited.
“What’s happened?” she asked.
He’d not spoken a word. She didn’t know if this made her appear weak,
but she really didn’t care. She needed him to answer her.
