Dexter: Okay, break it down for me. What did you do? I need to know the details so I know what kind of make-up scale we’re looking at.
Loki: I didn’t do anything.
Ashton: Well, you did something because she thinks she’s in your way. She’s leaving tomorrow, so she doesn’t bother you.
Loki: Fuck. She really thinks I don’t love her.
Trevor: You love her?
Preston: You motherfucker. Did you hurt my little sister? Emory is up here, bawling her eyes out. I am going to cut your dick off and shove it up your ass.
Loki: Fuck you.
Loki: I didn’t do anything intentionally. She overheard a conversation she shouldn’t have. I didn’t mean what I was saying; I was trying to get a read on Luca.
Trevor: Luca? Your brother? WTH, man. What’s going on?
Ashton: I’ll fill you in later. Right now, Loki needs to talk to Sloane.
Loki: We’re going dark at 0700 hours.
Preston: She’ll be gone by then, asshat.
Loki: Clear the garage. I’m coming over now.
Preston: Done.
Ashton: On it.
Dexter: Make Sloane Loki’s is in motion.
Trevor: Let us know what you need from us.
These dipshits have gone soft, and this time, I’m thankful for it. I’m not sure what I’m walking into with Sloane, but losing her is no longer an option.
“Loki? Where are you? We have a problem,” Seth yells up the stairs. I’m sitting in my childhood bedroom, and I feel at peace with my lot in life. It’s an odd feeling, but I’m pretty sure I’ll get used to it with Sloane by my side.
“Me too,” I yell back. Standing, I make my way to the hall and down the stairs to find him and Luca leaning over a computer table.
Sighing, I enter the room. This doesn’t look good.
“What’s up? I have to get to Sloane before we leave.”
Seth looks up, and my gut rolls.
“That’s not a good idea, Boss.”
“Why?” One word that carries enough venom to take out an army.
“Jason is on Vic’s team. He also worked with Luca.”
Turning to Luca, I expect him to fill in, but Seth continues talking while Luca stares at the ground.
“Jason just got a message to Luca. Vic is onto Sloane. He followed Ashton’s car and lifted her prints from their last hotel.”
“Why does she have prints on record?”
“Vic lifted them from her TSA pre-check status,” Luca announces.
