Beautiful Creatures Series
Chapter 55: 13
Melissa sat at the bar in the Mausoleum, drowning her sorrows and fuming about the encounter she had with Gordon and his girlfriends. She was still infuriated that Mackenzie had dared to strike her. She was not going to let this go unanswered. Mackenzie would pay for what she did, and Gordon would suffer.
A dark-haired man in a black suit took the barstool next to her and ordered a drink from the bartender. Then he turned to Melissa. “Can I buy you a drink?”
She scoffed as she lifted her beer to her lips. “Go fuck yourself.”
“Well, aren’t you a pleasant one? No wonder your husband left you.”
She turned and looked at this man with great interest. “How did you know my husband left me?”
“I know more about you than you think… Melissa.”
She had an uneasy feeling. Was his man a hunter? He did not seem like the usual hunter type. He claimed to know a lot about her. Did he know she was a Lycanthrope? If he did, was he trying to blackmail her? If he was, he had a big surprise coming. With the mood she was in, she would not mind killing him.
Melissa looked over the man closely, trying to decide if he was a threat. His clothes looked slept in, and his square jaw was shabby and unshaven. No, she decided, she doubted he was a hunter. He did not look like one, and she was pretty good at spotting hunters.
“Ok, you have my attention. You know me. Who the hell are you?”
“Special Agent Lenard Meskler, FBI,” he introduced himself, offering her his hand. Suspicious, she shook his hand. “You came up in my investigation of your husband, Gordon Wilder.”
“Why is the FBI investigating Gordon? He is an incredibly boring man.”
“I’m not interested in Gordon. I’m interested in Mackenzie Starr, the woman he is living with.”
“Are you now?”
“You and I have the same problem.”
“Mackenzie?” He nodded. She knew her reasons for hating Mackenzie, but she was curious about what this man’s beef was with the young woman. “What do you want with Mackenzie?”
“I need her dead.”
