I watched from the window as Marcus's car disappeared into the night, carrying Lexi away from me. Something was wrong with her, and it was eating at me that she wouldn't let me help.
My phone rang, interrupting my thoughts.

“Someone was in his penthouse tonight. The security footage shows a figure in dark clothing leaving about twenty minutes before Kane was found."
“Any idea who?”
“That's the problem. The footage is too grainy, and they knew exactly where the cameras were. This wasn't random.”
I ran a hand through my hair. “So someone wanted Kane dead.”
