He looked at her, then slowly nodded. ‘Yeah. I’m fine.’
‘I don’t know how you do it. The things you see…’
‘You get better at it with time,’ Slater said. ‘Back in New York, when you were a paralegal … you ever imagine yourself taking another life? Killing another human being?’
‘No.’
‘And you’ve done it. You sleep okay at night?’
‘I do.’
He managed a tiny shrug. ‘Same principle. I just deal with it. Revenge helps.’
‘What if you didn’t get justice?’
‘Then I’d be worse. But I always do. I set my mind to it and don’t stop until either I’m dead or it’s done.’
‘And you’re still here.’
‘So I’m pretty good at it.’
She kissed him and said, ‘You need painkillers?’
He shook his head. ‘I might, later. When my ego says enough is enough. For now, I just need to lie here. It’s been a fucking day.’
‘Been a pair of days.’
She drew the covers over him and snuggled against his side. She must have dozed off, because when she stirred he had a hand raised above the duvet, swiping at his illuminated phone screen.
As she started to roll over, she noticed he had paused on a Note. ‘What’s that?’
She could just make out a list of names.
Kian Grant.
Curtis Dunlap.
Dominique Newton.
Sebastian Day.
Donald Ayers.
Valentino Moretti.
Myles Vaughan.
Aiden Hall.
Frankie Booth.
Jacob Khan.
Jaxson Hoffman.
Robert Holland.
He hadn’t answered her.
‘Will?’ she asked.
He was staring at his phone like he could burn right through it with his gaze.
‘Will?’
He looked over. ‘Myles was the guy who drugged Violetta.’
She noticed the strikethrough over “Myles Vaughan.” Glancing down she saw there was also a line through “Jaxson Hoffman.” The prosecutor. ‘Who are the others?’
‘Cops, judges, lawyers, government officials, legislators, gangsters.’
‘As bad as Myles?’
‘Far worse.’
‘So what are you going to do about it?’
He paused, maybe wondering if he should be honest, then realising he’d never lied to her.
He said, ‘When I’m healed, I’ll strike every name out.’
