He took the seat across from me, his eyes flicking to the gun on my thigh. “Expecting company?”

I saw the worry in his eyes. He thought I had finally lost it and was ready to pull the trigger. Yeah, I was pissed over the situation with Isla, but I wasn’t suicidal. No woman could do that to me.

“You heard what happened to Leah.”

He gave a slight nod. “They won’t get past our security.”

“No, but they’ll come for me.”

“And what’s your plan?”

“Well, it’s not to sit around here and wait for them to make their move.”

“I don’t suppose you thought to include the rest of us in this scheme of yours.”

I smirked at him. Of course he was pissed at me. It came with the territory. “God forbid I leave you out of the fun. You know I was just trying to protect you.”

“Like I need protection. Just wait until Red hears that line of bullshit.”

“You already called him, didn’t you?”

“He’s outside right now. Kind of figured with the lights out and the depressing as fuck atmosphere that something was going down. Glad it was just you plotting.”

“And not me planning to off myself,” I grinned. “You can relax. I have no plans to ever do anything like that.”

“So, if you’re not waiting around here for them, what exactly were you planning?”

“Hit ‘em hard.”

“Just you,” he deadpanned. “Good plan. I know that’s what I would do.”

Thunder rumbled in the distance, adding to the atmosphere of the evening. It was actually the perfect cover for the night. With what I had planned, we didn’t need to wake the whole goddamn town.

I set my glass on the table and stood. “It’s time to move.”

“Now?”

“Yep.”

“And…was there a bat signal or something?”

“Nope.”

“So, you just know they’re here.”

“Yep.”

“Because you’re such a fucking genius.”

“Yep.”

“Wow, you’re really not going to tell us a damn thing, are you?”

I turned my watch to him, showing him the perimeter data that I had sent to my screen. “They’re at the border. Good enough for you?”

He rolled his eyes at me. “You could have just told me, asshole.”

“But this was so much more fun.”
