The Killer Queen by Noella Briony

Chapter 26

Chapter 26

The surveillance system was crystal clear, and every move in VIP Room 9 was on display.

As the owner of the bar, Noella had reserved a booth in the beginning just for herself, a special spot where she could keep an eye on all the private booths!

Only she could unlock this surveillance haven! She had personally tweaked the cameras to catch every little detail, even in the darkest corners. Everything Toxic Monarch and Thorpe did was under her watchful eye.

Palmer frowned slightly, pointing at the screen where Thorpe was holding a briefcase full of greenbacks. “They seriously think they can deal here?”

“Looks like it.”

“Call the police. If they manage to trade, who knows how many families will suffer.”

Noella nodded, “Already on it. Sent the video feed straight to the international drug enforcement.”

Palmer looked surprised.

“You’re in touch with international drug enforcement?”

“Crossed paths with them about three years ago on a gig in Northstone.”

Palmer’s pupils contracted; he was also in Northstone three years back!

“Did you save someone in Northstone?”

“I’ve saved plenty of people.”

Noella’s brow furrowed ever so slightly, her gaze shining brightly in the dim light, and for a moment, Palmer recalled the time he nearly tumbled off a cliff, when a masked girl reached out

to him!

That girl had eyes just like these!

So it was her!

Noella’s attention returned to the monitors, her gaze falling on Beckett lurking in a corner downstairs.

Why on earth was his brother here?

She said to Palmer, “Let’s split up. You take the third floor; there’s another drug lord meet–up there. I’ll check downstairs.”

Palmer grabbed Noella’s wrist, his handsome face filled with concern. “Be careful. I’ll give you a ride home later.”

“Sure.”

At the booth, Beckett and the suit across from him were toasting and having a blast.

Noella squeezed through the crowd, finding Erek lost in the dance. “There are a few bombs on the second floor. Get someone to defuse them.”

“Whoa, boss! You’re like everywhere…ugh, and now, just five minutes into my jam, I gotta go play bomb squad? This job’s killing my buzz!”
