Sure.
“I’m not going to do something irrational. Hey, do you think he’d elope?” he asked, suddenly.
Only, he didn’t get the answer he’d hoped for at all. He’d be lying if he said he wasn’t thinking about just getting married since they had Gabe over the barrel.
Or was that pushing his luck?
After hearing that, Greyson laughed.
“Yeah, there is nothing irrational going on in that skull of yours at all. Just retrieve the partner and get back here. Hughes is up to his bullshit again, and we’ve got work to do to make sure Ethan doesn’t get abducted, or you killed.”
Gene sighed.
He was so damn tired.
The man was a pain in his ass, and Javier liked to pop up at the worst times.
Like today.
He had shitty timing since he’d just burned Gabe, and there was no way he’d have their backs. Gene and Ethan were going to have to be really careful going forward.
Only, Greyson likely brought it up for a reason, so Gene had to ask.
“What did he do now?”
Greyson told him, knowing it was likely going to put him over the damn edge.
“He’s put out feelers to find you. One of Antonio’s street snitches brought in some information to get greenbacks for meth or his drug of choice. Both of your names came up. He’s trying to locate your hole, and he’s offering up big money, too. It’s only a matter of time before someone hates you and rats you out.”
Well, it was a good thing he was in DC at the moment, and Ethan was inDamascus.
Was he shocked?
No.
Javier was desperate to get to Ethan, and Gene was more desperate to make sure the dickless wonder didn’t get his wish. He was the cock-block fairy on this one.
“We haveNOTHINGin our names, so unless we get ratted out…”
Oh, Greyson knew who he was talking about.
“I will personally put a bullet in her if she says jack shit to Javier Hughes,” he admitted. “Trust and believe that I’m three days past being patient with her.”
Oh, well, Gene knew that for a fact.
He might even be more angsty than he was. After all, he’d been sleeping with the enemy on this one.
“Well, speaking of her, she’s about to be removed from her cushy spying job there. I had to burn her to Gabe. It was the only way to get Ethan his badge back.”
Well, shit.
Greyson wanted to be the one who burned her good. In fact, he wanted to be the one who made her cry.
He was petty like that.
The mere fact that he’d let her into his world, and she’d ratted out Gene and Ethan to Gabe…
That was on him, and he knew it.
