Chapter 12
After arguing his case, Henry was able to convince Vicki to follow his plan but with one slight modification. She and the detective would tail him. However no more attempts had been made on his life. This plan wasn't working.
As they neared the intersection, the light turned yellow. Henry floored it. As he glanced in the rearview mirror, he saw Celluci slam his hands against the steering wheel in frustration.
Brock had been tailing Henry Fitzroy for a week but he wasn't the only one. A dark sedan had also been shadowing him. The occupants of that vehicle were the blond and the male detective from the precinct. He was glad he had planted a GPS transmitter on Fitzroy's Jaguar. Hopefully tonight this job would finally come to a conclusion.
As Henry drove on, his cell rang incessantly. He checked the caller ID. Victoria Nelson. He pressed the send button and held the phone away from his ear. Once Vicki's voice returned to a normal level, he joined the conversation.
"Are you calmed down now?"
"This is as calm as I'm going to get. I thought we had a deal."
"I figured this would be the quickest way for my would be killer to reveal themselves."
"Where are you?"
"Whitby Psychiatric Hospital." Henry heard the engine from an approaching car. "Someone's here."
The call ended abruptly.
