“No problem. How’d your first job go?” Stone asked, stepping on the gas to get out of the area ASAP.
“It was fine, Wrath showed up.”
“Was this the rapist who posted bail?”
“Mhmm, he was trying to board a ship out of here.”
“Good job,” Stone said. “I heard that the girls he raped are too scared and traumatized to testify.”
“Yeah. Well, now they don’t need to.”
He had to admit there had been a great deal of satisfaction with this job. Although there were others who thought taking justice into their own hands was wrong, Ice knew the vermin that took advantage of society didn’t give two shits about killing someone just for the hell of it. Or, in this case, hurting several someones just because they wanted to get their fucking rocks off.
Stone dropped him off at his own SUV a few blocks from Solomon’s office and Ice drove to the building. Along with Grit, Ice was buzzed in and he took the stairs instead of the elevator. Striding into Solomon’s office, he found Wrath and another man.
Solomon tossed his ID and his personal cell on the desk.
“Good job,” Solomon told him and then gestured to the man standing at the window, back to the room. “You already know Wrath.”
Ice exchanged a smirk with Wrath.
“I’m sure you remember Real,” Wrath said.
Ice’s mouth dropped open and he gaped at his former Navy SEAL buddy who had his back to him.
Real turned slowly and gave him a smirk.
“Ice.” Real smirked and then cocked an eyebrow at the pup in his arms.
“Wow, dude. I thought you’d never quit being a SEAL.” Ice grinned at the man.
Real snorted and shook his offered hand. The man was younger than him by eight years, but they had managed to serve a year together before Ice had called it quits to pursue other things. They had sometimes kept in touch when Real was on leave, but Ice hadn’t seen the man in a few years.
“When did you get out?”
“Last year…I meant to call.” Real bent and caressed Grit behind his silky ears.
Ice chuckled. “It’s cool.”
“Let’s cut the chat and get to the business at hand.” Solomon cut Real off with a dark look. “We have a job. There are two or maybe three sexual predators in Northern California. There was a recent incident and Dave wants them eliminated before the cops can arrest them,” Solomon cut in with a dark look.
“How long ago was the latest attack?” Real asked.
“Yesterday. However, you won’t be involved with this,” Solomon told Real flatly and then turned to him and Wrath.
“Why the fuck not?” Ice asked when Real had gone quiet.
Solomon squinted at him. “Do I need to remind you that you’re on probation?”
“Do I need to remind you that Dave is one of my closest friends as well as Hunter and Seven?” Ice countered. “Real is in on this if he wants to be.”
Solomon’s gaze turned glacial.
And Ice glared right back.
He didn’t give a rat’s ass if Solomon was pissed.
A few days later…
