“Yeah, I think so. I even picked up some shoes in that last one.”
“I’m really intrigued about what you’ve been getting without me,” he taunts.
Wolfe pulls me back in the direction we came from to head to his truck.
“How did everything go?” I ask.
Wolfe sighs and squeezes my arm against his.
“Caleb got nothing new from Eddie. Toby isn’t talking. My acquaintance has no leads yet. It’s all a dead end. And…”
“And what?”
I look up at him as he glances down at me.
“And there was a robbery. A robbery of our shipments. Fucking great.”
“Oh my, Wolfe. I’m so sorry this is happening.”
“It has to be this new fucking club.”
“Probably.”
I just hope we find answers soon.
NINETEEN
Wolfe
It’s beenthree weeks since Nova moved in with me, and I’m still no closer to settling the affairs that have been causing a mess in our lives. Every one of our contacts is radio silent or doesn’t have any leads about who is really in this new club.
It’s like they’re ghosts.
That’s exactly how they want to play it.
I know when I’m being fucked with, and that’s exactly what’s happening. Whoever is doing this to us has a personal vendetta against me.
There hasn’t been a robbery or fire… nothing since that day of shopping with Nova. It’s oddly calm, but I know that this is what happens before the storm comes.
I need a bit of something to get me out of this mindfuck I’m being put under.
“Want another drink, hunny?” Nova asks.
She’s cuddled up into my side while we sit on the patio watching a movie… as if we’re any normal couple without an ongoing threat looming over our heads.
“I’ll go get them.”
Nova leans up, placing one of her hands on my chest.
“I’ll come with you.”
“Relax, baby.”
She gives me a soft smile and sits back into the chair, giving me room to get up.
“I know you’re stressed,” she starts.
“Don’t worry about that. I’m happy we’ve been getting the time in together. I just wish I knew what was going on.”
