  50. ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Raider shouldn’t leave with them. They’d probably want to avoid blood splatter inside the building. Outside, not so much. “I’m not going anywhere until you tell me what’s happening.” Hopefully Wolfe was listening in.

Eddie slid into the back of the car and moved over. “Come on, New York. Let’s just see if we can trust each other.”

Jonny P pressed the gun against Raider’s spine again. That was it. Raider took a step forward, pivoted, and yanked the gun away from the enforcer. “Stop doing that,” he snapped.

Jonny bunched his thin legs to attack.

“Stop,” Eddie said, partially leaning over. “Enough with this. Either you’re coming or not, Times. It’s up to you.”

Damn it. Raider tucked Jonny’s gun in his waistband and turned to enter the car. Hopefully Josh wouldn’t shoot him in the head and ruin the very nice leather upholstery.

Eddie smiled. “There you go. This is gonna be fun. The good stuff always happens after midnight, but you might want to get some shut-eye. We have about a five-hour drive ahead of us.”

Raider looked at the mob boss. “Where the hell are we going?”

“You’ll see.” Eddie put his head back on the seat rest and closed his eyes. “By the way, if you’re not who you say, I’m definitely going after the redhead. Can’t seem to get her out of my mind.”

The door slammed hard next to Raider, and he barely kept from jumping. This was nuts.

Chapter Twenty-Eight

Chapter Twenty-Eight

Brigid managed another sleepless night with Roscoe heavy on her feet. The feeling of the dog lent a sense of safety she had been lacking. Finally, around four in the morning, she gave up. “Get up, puppy. We might as well go to work.”

Roscoe opened one eye, looked at her, and then shut it again.

She pulled her feet free and headed for the shower. “I get ready quickly. You have about fifteen more minutes to sleep, and then we’re going to work.” The meeting with the HDD agents hadn’t sat well with her, even though she’d only told them facts they could find out on their own. Where was Raider? Was he safe?

She prepared for a long day, donning comfortable jeans, boots, and a light green sweater that supposedly brought out the color of her eyes. Maybe Raider would return that day. Man, she hoped so. It was time she told him the truth about her agreement with the HDD. “Come on, Roscoe. You can use the grassy area right outside before we go.”
