“Nah, thought of that but that’s too easy and besides we don’t know the whole story. If we off him and he has kids tied up somewhere we may never find them. Let the feds do their thing, if they don’t move by tonight we’ll go with your next plan and send them to the networks. You’ve already made up a little press kit to send them right?”
“Yeah, I’m thinking of sending it out anyway whether he’s arrested or not, I don’t want there to be anyway that he can slip through this noose this time. With the public on their ass they might be forced to actually do something this time. I thought of a way to let him know that this was for Kadyn, that it’s because of her that’s he’s going down.”
“Yeah, what’s that?”
I told him of my plan and Joshua being the vengeful fuck that he is added some twists of his own.
Around dinner time there was still nothing doing so we went down with the others where all the talk was about the wedding. Stan and Carrie’s dad were here tonight as well so we had a full house, which meant mom was in her glory. Kadyn kept looking at her ring and playing with it with a secret smile on her face. “You happy baby?” I kissed her temple as she sat next to me on one of the love seats in the drawing room where everyone was sitting around shooting the breeze.
“I’m very happy Matthew, and you?”
“You have to ask?” I gave her a tight squeeze and tuned back into the conversation, which had switched to school and what we had planned for our future. It was after ten by the time everyone was leaving and I was antsy as fuck. We’d left the recorder running but I didn’t want to miss anything. I was being pulled in two different directions, I wanted to make love to her to seal the deal and I wanted to watch him get taken into custody. Only then will I feel like he was finally out of her life for good because the shit he had on his computer was more than enough to send him away for a very long time.
In the end I walked her up to our room and got her settled in bed. “I’ll be back soon baby I have to go do something with Josh.” She pouted and lifted her lips for a kiss but she didn’t complain. “Don’t be long okay.”
“I won’t I promise.” I couldn’t resist pulling her in close for a hug and saying a silent prayer that nothing happened to screw this up.
It was around one in the morning when I watched over the monitor as agents busted down the door of Bruno’s house. I’d been waiting for it for hours but now that it was here I couldn’t believe it was actually happening. “Thank fuck I was about to give up on their ass.”
“Ssh, turn it up Josh I can’t hear what they’re saying.” He turned up the volume just in time for us to hear the charges against Tommy Bruno as he was being cuffed. Dazed and confused after being dragged out of bed the middle-aged predator didn’t seem to know what the hell was going on around him. Somehow I’d expected him to put up more of a fight but he just looked scared and out of his depth.
We watched for the next few hours as they combed the residence taking away boxes and boxes of files and searched every inch of the place. “I hope none of that shit is about Kadyn.” James hadn’t found anything but there was no guarantee that there wasn’t. Whatever the case she wasn’t going back there if I had anything to say about it. “One phase over now we wait and see if he slithers out of this.”
“He won’t, you ready?”
“Yeah.” We used the voice distorter to place a call to the local newsroom in Nebraska, which was closed at this hour but I was sure they’d get the message first thing in the morning. Along with the message from an unidentified source we sent the damaging pictures from Bruno’s hard drive along with some other information. All in all we hit up three news stations, two local and one national and with that, sewed up one pedophile nice and tight. If his money had gotten him off in the past it would be hard for them to get away with that shit this time. The public had a way of convicting assholes better than the justice system did. Corrupt fucks.
Back in our room where she was fast asleep I looked down at her. Sometimes she looked so young and innocent that it was hard to imagine her life had been what it was. But I wasn’t going to think about that anymore, after tonight I was going to make sure that neither of us spent any more time dwelling on that shit. Standing there I made a decision, it was the only one in the end that made any sense. “Kadyn wake up baby.” I laid beside her and ran my fingers over her face until she opened her eyes. “Hey baby.” I only meant to kiss her awake but the taste of her lips under mine coupled with the adrenaline high that I was riding changed my mind. I fell into her softness as she opened herself to me.
