“You doing ok?”

Killian was looking shaky on his feet. His face was even paler than it had been before. No surprise there. He should still be in the hospital and not gallivanting around the city on what was feeling more and more like a wild goose chase.

Instinctively I reached to steady him and he slapped my hand away. “I can manage.” He snapped and I dropped my arm to my side.

“I know I fucked up.” I muttered. “But I’m trying to help now.”

He turned to me, breathing heavily and at first I thought he was going to take a swing at me, and then his shoulders stumped.

“I know you are.” He said finally with a sigh. “Just like I know none of this is your fault.”

I let out a sigh of relief.

“But anger is the only thing that is keeping me on my feet right now and you’re the only here so I’m going to hold onto that anger until we find her. Aft that we will all talk. The three of us.”

The corners of my mouth twitched. “I can handle that. Be angry at me all you want-” out of the corner of my eyes I saw a woman turn to us. “The cafe. Third window from the door.” I hissed.

“I see.” Killian didn’t even turn his head. But I knew he was watching her. “Do you think that’s her? That dr Stella Murphy? This is the address she gave.”

It was hard to see the woman’s face because a fine drizzling rain had started an hour ago and the rain drops on the glass distorted her image.

“I don’t know.” I admitted with a sigh. “I have no idea what she looks like/Could just be someone checking us out. It wouldn’t be the first time.”

I expected Killian to laugh but he didn’t even crack a smile. Instead he strode forward.

The confines of the small diner smelt of burnt coffee and grease and my nose wrinkled in disgust.

“Hey sweethearts, what can I do you for?” The middle aged waitress slid in front of us.

Killian ignored her completely and stalked towards the woman. Who was watching him approach with wide knowing eyes.

“Rude.”

“Sorry.” I flashed the waitress a smile. “We are here to meet a friend. Two coffees please.”

“Are you Stella?” I heard Killian say loudly and rushed towards him

“Yes and you must be.” Her eyes raked over him. “Killian and “her eyes flicked to me. “Xander”

Scraping back a seat Killian fell into it with a groan. “You seem to know more about us than we do about you Why did you call?”

“Because, I heard you were looking for me,” she shrugged. “It felt easier for me to make contact rather than you blowing my cover.”

eyebrows New up. “Cover?” My voice lowered. “I thought you were a doctor.”

She grinned up at me. “Can’t a girl be both.”

Neither me or Killian answered and her smile died. “I was third year med school when I met Wesley. Young and fucking stupid. He swept me off my feel

We remained silent. “But it didn’t take long for him to show his true colours.” She shuddered and I went to reach for her. Stella shot me a look and I dropped my hand. “Wesley is a messed up little puppy. And I mean that in the literal sense of the word. There’s two things he’s been obsessed with. On

dogs.”

I frowned and she stared at me.

“And the other is his mother.”

Next to me Killian rolled his eyes. “Oh great, a weirdo with mommy issues. That’s so rare.”

“You don’t get it. Wesley is obsessed with his mother. All his girlfriends have the same story as me. He likes to change our appearance to match hers. He likes to make us dance.” Her eyes swept between the two of us. “He likes to watch.”

“Watch what?” Killian’s voice was sharp.

“You know what. It gets him off to jerk off and imagine it’s his mommy dearest. She was a stripper and a prostite. Died when he was fifteen. Some say h

I threw my hand up. “Don’t say anymore I feel sick enough as it is.”

“But he just watches right? He doesn’t touch?” Killians voice shook.

“With me he said he couldn’t touch me until I was perfect. I never got even close to perfect.” A shadow passed over her face. “He broke my back in one of his many training sessions. That was day three of my.” She lifted her hands and air quoted with her fingers. “Training.”

“Training?”

“That’s what he calls it. How long has he had your friend?”

“Eight days.”

Pain rippled across her face. For a second she closed her eyes and sucked in a breath. “Shit. I’m sorry but ”

“Don’t say it.” Killian ground out. “Don’t fucking say she’s dead because I won’t hear it. Lottie is strong. She’s the strongest person I know. She would do anything to survive.”

“I hope you’re right.” Stella said softly. “Look.” Leasing forward she lowered her voice “I’ve been chasing that sadistic fuck with my hsuand for years. We can never pin anything on him even if we know he did it.”

“So your not a copper?”

“Married to the agent assigned to me after I was found. It’s all very taboo.” Her eyes crinkled. “But I guess you guys know all about that don’t you. You’re both in love with her right?”

“And each other.” I said quickly.
