Luna flattened herself on one side of the door, Taser up and ready, I flattened myself on the other.
But it was me who shouted, “Jinx! You in there?”
“Bitches, come get me loose!” she shouted back.
Luna turned the knob and pushed open the door, but it was me who curled in on a squat, Taser out, scanning the place.
All that was there was a naked Jinx with both wrists handcuffed to the bed, her phone on the pillow beside her.
I straightened.
“Motherfucker cuffed me to the bed, did me, took my night’s earnings and jetted outta here. I think I sprained my back getting my phone from my toes to my hand ’cause that’s the only thing he left me, but he threw it at my feet.Motherfucker!” she screamed.
Luna came in behind me and closed the door.
I went right to Jinx, and even if it gave me the heebie-jeebies to touch it, I pulled the comforter over her.
“I’ve had a good night, but it’s been a slow month. How’m I gonna pay my electric bill now?” she asked. Before we could say anything, she pushed, “Hunh? Hunh?” Then she let loose a stream of enraged Spanish.
“Oh man,” Luna mumbled.
“What? You don’t got a key?” Jinx asked. “I always got a key, but the fucker took that too. How you two on the streets without a universal key?Motherfucker!” and more Spanish.
But that wasn’t what Luna was referring to.
She was referring to me.
I was feeling what I hadn’t felt since I doused an asshole rapist with honey and loosed an entire ant farm on him.
And she knew me.
I whipped out my burner, pulled up the only contact in it and tapped in,Jacob Brewer’s number, right now!then hit send.
“We’ll figure this out, Ra…Kelly. Calm down,” Luna urged.
I didn’t calm down.
I ordered, “Help her get dressed as well as you can.” I looked to Jinx. “What was he driving?”
“Who gives a fuck?” Jinx answered.
“You want your money back?”
“Kelly,” Luna warned.
“You can do that?” Jinx asked.
“Damn straight. What was he driving?”
“Blue Lexus.”
I stormed out.
I raced down the stairs to the night clerk, waltzed into the grimy reception area and rapped hard on counter.
“I wanna see the parking lot camera footage from about an hour and a half ago, and I wanna see it right now,” I demanded.
And no. I hadn’t missed the cameras. They had four of them trained to the lot.
