13. Chapter 13

Abraham's phone buzzed with a text just as he had taken the last bite of his breakfast. He stood and took in the view of this beautiful city, and breathed in a breath of new life.

The Kane sisters had decided that they needed to develop a plan in case Aldrich found out about the boy long before Delphi had moved to the farm. Meticulously, the sisters had plotted. It was Delphi who sowed the discord between Aldrich and Abraham, though it did not take much prodding on her part. Abraham, like Delphi, had always been underestimated, especially by his brother who only believed him to a brute, and not a brain. All Delphi had to do was prove Aldrich's thinking to his loyal brother, and Abraham was soon on their side. She knew that when she called on him, Abraham would act in her favor.

Cleo had suggested that they be taken hostage. She even went so far as to say that they "had" to be killed, so that they could start fresh afterwards. It was a splendid idea, they agreed. A fresh start would be good for them all. It would give them the chance to be something other than the notorious Kane sisters.

Iris maintained that Delphi was to be the one worked from the outside. No one would actually believe that she was ever taken. Delphi's ego was pleased with that line of thinking.

Henry had always been a part of the scheme. They had all sort of expected that he would leave with Delphi, and when he didn't it came as quite the shock to them all. Henry, of course, regretted telling her no from the moment the word left his lips. Delphi left his apartment sad and alone. She moved to her farm and planned to live there, sad and alone. Then a dog showed up in her flower garden.

Winston had been Delphi's lynch pin. She had considered her options many, many times, but unless Winston was involved, there was no way to give her sisters the clean slate they wanted. She was counting on him. And he had let her down.

There had been no room in the plan for John, though he somehow fit.

"Finished." Was all the text read.

Abraham immediately began making phone calls.
