The Deal

Ian stares at the papers.

"Why? What did this guy do so bad that Cain wanted him dead? Was willing to sign years into a contract with you to have that person killed?" No one is worth it, no one at all, yet Cain clearly thought so.

Ian feels his anger rising; Cain has killed people, sure after this deal was made. It is proof he could have done it and saved all this mess.

"The guy did nothing, nothing bad anyway. Avalyn was his target, and Cain didn't like that." Ian stares at him shocked, Avalyn was in trouble? He can understand now why he would agree to that.

"So what? Why was this guy trying to get to Avalyn and hurt her? She is innocent; I can't see her ever making someone hate her or hurt her." Cain was a fool, Ian shakes his head. If someone threatened Avalyn, he would have done the same no doubt.
