Kill Switch by Penelope Douglas

The coroner was putting my father on the gurney, already
zipped into a body bag, while the police talked with each other
and waited for forensics to arrive.
Kai made sure none of us said anything until we talked to
lawyers.
But I was the one found with the knife and the blood on
my hand.
I’d be going in.
“GGo with Banks and Kai,” I told her.
I wanted her out of Thunder Bay tonight. In the city with
new air and space.
Away from this shit.
She held in her tears as she kissed me and whispered,
“That’s not your life anymore. I don’t leave.”
I couldn’t help the smile that broke out as she kissed me
again. I wouldn’t admit it to her, but that fucking made my
night.
Banks pulled her back as the cop yanked me up and started
to take me away.
I watched her over my shoulder, praying like hell that
wasn’t the last time I touched her.
As I passed Rika, our gazes met, and she knew there were
things happening she didn’t understand. I wasn’t supposed to
kill him. That wasn’t part of the plan.
But she hadn’t heard any of the conversation between me
and my father.
That shit was for another day.
For now…
“One down,” I told her. “The rest is on you.”
