But not denial.
And that was enough.
Slowly she stepped backward.
Away from him.
Away from the man she thought she knew.
"My love..." Elliot whispered.
She shook her head.
"Don't call me that."
Those words pierced him harder than any knife.
To be continued...
PART 6
Suddenly—
BANG!
The front door burst open.
"Police! Nobody move!"
Everyone froze.
The gang members panicked instantly.
"Run!"
Chaos erupted.
Footsteps.
Shouting.
Furniture crashing.
Elliot stood shocked.
Police officers rushed into the room.
Within seconds the men were on the ground.
Handcuffed.
Finished.
But Elliot's wife wasn't looking at them.
She wasn't looking at the police.
She was staring only at Elliot.
Like none of this mattered anymore.
An officer walked closer.
"We received an anonymous call."
Anonymous?
Elliot blinked.
Then one of the arrested men shouted angrily:
"Idiot! I told you not to trust that new guy!"
Elliot's eyes widened.
New guy?
Then he remembered...
There had been a fourth man.
One who arrived late.
