The Huntress 59. Inconsequential
After the meeting with my Dad, I went back to my office to continue reviewing the annual report that needed to be finalized before our meeting with the shareholders later in the day. However, for whatever reason, something wasn't sitting well with me. For some reason, I couldn't seem to get the name the Huntress out of my mind. I couldn't explain why. Only that it felt as though I was missing something. By noon, I decided I couldn't continue dwelling on this anymore. I wasn't sure why I felt compelled to talk to the twins, but it was as though something was urging me to see them. I chalked it up to my brotherly need to see them since it had been over a month since the last time we talked. This is why I found myself driving up alongside their apartment less than an hour later. I wasn't even sure if they were even home. But I figured I might as well try considering I was already here.I took the elevator to the top floor penthouse unit and knocked on the door, waiting to hear if my bro
The Huntress 60. Enigma
...Kieran POV...The moment Maverick left, I was left on edge. I didn't understand what was going on, a feeling I didn't enjoy. It felt like I wasn't in control, and I could tell Zander felt the same way.We shared a look earlier when Maverick had first announced the Huntress. I didn't like that he knew about her. But mostly, I didn't like how this was bringing our involvement with the Devils to light. Up until now, I was certain that the rest of my family was oblivious to our crusades. But it was clear the only ones oblivious were me and Zander. From Maverick's claim, it appeared he knew a lot more than we thought he did. I just wasn't sure how much. I also felt uncomfortable because we were only learning about this from Maverick. If the Huntress was truly involved in this, then why didn't she contact us to let us know that she had managed to find Elanore Maddox? Why didn't she tell us that she had handed her over to the FBI? Why didn't she tell us anything?I shared another look w
The Huntress 61. Emotional Damage
...Asher POV......One week later...I've been on edge since I found Elanora Maddox in my kitchen. While I know it wasn't what was important, I couldn't stop dwelling on wondering who was behind all of this. It was clear that someone else was on our side, but who? I thought for sure I would have more answers when I discussed what happened with Maverick and Damian, but for some reason, I was left with more questions than answers after our meeting. It felt like I was missing something, but I couldn't explain what. Damian's words continued to ring in my mind. Only Damian and Sienna knew how to hack into Night Hawk. Which meant there were only two suspects. Damian and Sienna. But we called Sienna, and she didn't seem to be aware of anything. But could it have been an act? Was she in trouble? This wouldn't be the first time she's been kidnapped, so I couldn't rule that option out. Was it possible that there was a third party at play? I hated not knowing what was taking place. While I kn
The Huntress 62. Sweat
After leaving the facility, I had one destination in mind. I needed to see Sienna, wherever that may be. I needed reassurance that she was, in fact, ok. I need to ensure that someone hadn't kidnapped her and forced her to do something against her will. As much as Damian denied Sienna's involvement, I knew she had to be involved. I just wasn't sure to what extent.Once I was back at my house, I called Sienna. The phone rang a few times, making me think that she wouldn't take my call. However, after the third ring, she finally answered."Si?" I call out, hoping to hear her voice."Ash?" She calls out, surprised to hear my voice. I find myself smiling as I hear her call my name. I was so happy to hear her voice again that I forgot to respond."Ash?" She called out once again, not sure whether I was still on the line or not. Making the cells in my brain finally kick into gear. "Where are you?" I blurt out."What?" She asks, clearly caught off guard."Where are you?" I ask again, dismissi
The Huntress 63. Jumping the Gun
...Sienna POV...Ash's unexpected call threw me for a loop. I hadn't expected him to call me. The moment I saw his name appear on the screen of my phone, I felt my heart drop. Is it possible he figured out who was behind Elanora's sudden appearance? No. I thought.That's impossible. I made sure to cover my tracks. It would be impossible for anyone to figure it out. However, the dread I felt wouldn't vanish that quickly. I tentatively answered his call, desperately hoping I was just jumping to conclusions."Si?" I hear him call out, in the familiar nickname he had taken to calling me when we were in Colombia. I find myself smiling instantly at the nickname. However, I don't respond at first."Ash?" I call out, wondering why he's calling. I felt myself growing anxious, worried that he somehow figured out that I was the one that brought Elanora to his house. I began going over every detail in my mind, petrified that I had left evidence that could point to me. However, as my mind begins
The Huntress 64. Revelations
...Asher POV...By the time I finished my shower, Sienna had already messaged me with all the details of my trip. Well, to be frank, the details I needed to know. I still had no idea where she was located, which made me worry about her. It only just dawned on me that I hadn't checked in with her to see how she was doing for a while now. Especially since she had gone to visit her family in England. I don't know why I haven't until now. But it was clear from what she sent me that she was worried about someone finding her. I hated that I hadn't bothered to check in at least once until now to see how she was coping. I should've talked to Damian and offered to go with her to England.I didn't at the time because Sienna seemed happy. But was it all a farce? I was beginning to suspect that something was wrong. My original reason for wanting to visit her quickly diminished; instead of wanting to see her to get answers, I needed to see her to make sure she was ok. She always acts tough and st
The Huntress 65. Momentary Bliss
...Sienna POV...Asher explained to me what happened that caused him to take a sudden trip. I wasn't upset that he wasn't working on interrogating Elanora. I knew she was a tough case and may never end up breaking. This is why I had already begun looking for alternate ways to try and track down Silvio. I was caught off guard when Ash made the connection to me being the Huntress. I was worried that someone else might be able to figure it out. But Ash explained that my identity was safe. If anything, having Ash on my side may prove to be beneficial. As he would be able to help protect my identity by providing an alibi. The more I thought about it, the more sense it made, which is when I came to a sudden realization.I didn't want his help. Rather, I needed his help. I just hoped that he would agree to my sudden idea. I left my bedroom and made my way toward the sitting room where I knew Ash would be. He had been here a few days already, though he was meant to return tomorrow. But I had
The Huntress 66. Insanity
Over the next few months, Ash and I became a well-oiled machine. Our team was absolutely perfect. It didn't take long for us to find our stride. Ash stayed in communication with Jace and informed me of any progress or rather, the lack of progress made in the interrogation with Elanora. I resumed my role as the Huntress as Ash would help me uncover potential targets. With his access, we were able to find people that were associated with Cole in one way or another. Many of which we found didn't know a thing about who he was or who he really was. They were mostly innocent people that happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.However, unbeknownst to Hunter, we managed to uncover some resources that Silvio counted on to help keep him hidden. In an attempt to see how Hunter was doing, I used the hack that Kevin had set up to spy on Hunter, which is when I uncovered Hunter's plans. While it didn't seem as though he was doing anything to find Silvio, he was actually spending his
