Burn Those Who Burned Me novel Chapter 182

Chapter 182

Kai’s POV:

The five of us sat in the empty warehouse building waiting for Ramone to show up with Benard

Thorton.

🙂)

The morning after my night with Gracie, I’d left the room to grab me some water. Turns out, Tyler

was doing the same thing.

“What are you doing here?”

Asking simultaneously, after a short pause, we laughed aloud. ⚫

“So, you really did have a crush on Londyn this whole time.”

“Yeah…we really bonded over these past few months while you were in the hospital.”

“Hmm…looks my coma was love magnet.”

“Hahahah!!!! That’s going on a greeting card.”

After grabbing two water bottles each, we made our way back to our rooms. Before splitting up, Tyler

called out to me.

“Hey…I’ll start the search for Thorton later this morning.”

Yesterday, in my anger, I told Tyler to immediately begin searching for Thorton. But after everything that happened last night, I realized spending time with my family was just as important. We had all of next week to find him, today I just wanted to enjoy being back home.

“Nah…let’s begin everything on Monday. Today…spend as much time as you can with Londyn.”

Tyler smiled brightly at me.

“Well, who knew a little hanky panky would have my best friend being all mushy.”

Tyler laughed and ran back to his room before I could react.

Tomorrow….I’ll kill him tomorrow.

After the family weekend ended, I had Parys help Cam with some of his workload at the office while I handled everything else from my home office. Tyler immediately began his search for Thorton that Monday. Turns out, he wasn’t an easy man to find. We figured the Rochesters went through great lengths to keep him hidden.

In the meantime, I’d purchased Gracie a new phone and had her number changed. I didn’t want the Rochesters tracking her or having access to her. The father had begun sending her messages demanding she set up a meeting with my parents to discuss business. Rochester truly had a set on him. You all but sold your daughter and then had the nerve to demand more in return. I couldn’t wait to give him exactly what he deserved.

It took three weeks to finally get a trail on him. Turns out, he had multiple aliases for his bank accounts and IDs. But it was his shell company that became the turning point.

“Hey, I think I might have something.”

Tyler walked into my office one afternoon holding a stack of papers.

“What’s this?”

“It’s kind of like Task–Manager. Apparently, it pairs people with ‘service techs‘”

I looked at Tyler with a puzzled expression, why was this relevant? Sensing my confusion, Tyler

explained.

“This site, I found it on the dark–web. It’s a shell company used to hire underground services.”

Underground….I quickly understood. It was a site where you could hire the worse of the worse to get ‘jobs‘ done.

My brows furrowed as I continued to read. I still didn’t understand how this would help find

Thorton.

“Okay, so how do we use this to our advantage?”

“I’ve got my team tracing jobs he’s completed. Phone numbers that were used, and possible meeting sites. We should be able to pull something out of this.”

I nodded my head in agreement. This was the most information we’d uncovered so far, so I had to have some faith.

And then, finally. It happened after weeks of tracking and tracing, Tyler finally found his location.

“Relax, relax! I call baring good news….I’ve found Benard Thorton.”

My eyes immediately darted to Gracie; I could see the change in her expression. She looked at if she’d stopped breathing for a moment. Her eyes stayed on the phone, waiting for Tyler to continue.

“So, where is he?”

“He’s staying in a condo owned by the Rochesters. It’s in the outskirts of Kingston in a small town called Union City.”

Gracie’s eyes widen at the name of the location.

“What is it Gracie?”

“I know that place. I mean, I’ve been to that condo before.”

Both Tyler and I grew quiet as Gracie explained. Apparently, her piece of shit brother Noah, sent her there before to drop documents off to a man. The man was about average height, salt and pepper hair with a mustache. He wore glasses and had a scar on his right arm. She’d met him several times. The man was none other than Benard Thorton.
