This was familiar, and Luna and I exchanged a smile at the wonders of the sisterhood.

“Right. Jazz. Jumper. Numskull. Whatever,” Jessie put in. “Is this guy Bambi’s boyfriend?”

“Numnuts,” Cameo corrected.

“Yeah, whatever,” Jessie returned. “What’s with this guy?”

“Probably a coupla reasons you don’t give your real name to some stupid bitch you’re porking,” Jinx said. “Even your street name.”

In other words, so the cops don’t know who they’re looking for, and therefore can’t find him, when that “bitch he’s porking” turns up missing.

A shiver slithered up my spine, because that smacked of premeditation, not crime of opportunity.

“Know where to find this guy?” Luna asked.

“Thought that was your job,” Persia noted.

“Without a last name, it’d be nice to have a lead,” I pointed out.

“He glides through here and there. Hits the streets. Hits the clubs,” Skyla said. “He’s not regular, but he’s around.”

“He been around recently?” Harlow asked.

Six heads shaking.

Shit.

“Jumper with any of the other women who disappeared?” Luna asked.

“Try…all of them?” Cameo said.

My skin started tingling.

My crew exchanged glances.

“Really?Allof them?” Luna pressed.

“Don’t know who all you’re searchin’ for,” Cameo replied. “But Jumper is the grim reaper. For sure, Bambi. He also spent time with Divinity. And two others I know who weren’t around for very long, and before they were gone, he was sniffing around them.”

“Share our number,” I ordered Jinx, then to all of them, I said, “You see this asshole, you call us.”

“Dude’s bad news,” Persia remarked.

“No kidding?” I asked.

“Chill, mama, just sayin’, with this guy, or all this shit, watch your ass.”

“I’m more worried about yours,” I replied. “Be safe. And thanks for the chat.”

I lifted my chin to Jinx because Cap did that and looked badass.

She burst out laughing.

Whatever.

We left and headed to the Merc.

“What’s his problem?” Harlow asked, her eyes aimed to reception.
