“Fine.” Orion sighs out loud.
I grumble, “This is going to bite us in the ass so badly.”
“I’m not going to do anything. I just want to know more, that’s all,” Atlas says. “So why are you guys looking up the BonesBrotherhood? Didn’t Felix say we could never talk about that again?”
“Yeah, but since when is Felix the boss of anyone?” Orion mutters.
Atlas grabs a chair and sits down behind us. “What did they do?”
“Drugs, trafficking, you name it, they do it all. The Bones Brotherhood is one of the most wanted criminal organizations.”
No wonder Sunny is chasing them.
Atlas frowns like he’s taking it all in.
“And you’re searching for them, why?” Atlas asks.
I stare him down. “It’s private.”
He glares back at me. “Fine. I get it. You don’t want me around.” He raises his hands. “No harm. I just wanted to see what was up, since y’all apparently got more information that my dad will ever divulge to me.”
“Don’t tell me Ares never spoke to you about the Bones Brotherhood.” Orion frowns. “His late dad literally had dealings with them at his casino.”
Atlas’s eyes widen, and he drops the book on the floor, then swiftly picks it up again. “No.”
“Oh. Well, maybe he wanted to protect you,” Orion says.
Atlas’s nostrils flare. “You know what? Maybe he was right. I … I gotta go.”
He takes off before I can say another word, and I watch as he disappears through the library doors.
“That was an odd conversation,” Orion says.
“Tell me about it,” I reply.
I focus on the computer and search for the names until I find the guy I watched her take out in the alley. Paul Lockley. Nurse in the elderly care. Looks like a regular old dude, yet she butchered him like he was the shit stuck underneath her shoe.
He’s part of the Bones Brotherhood.
Just like all the others.
But why is she targeting them?
I search the next few numbers until I find Perry, the drug seller I brought to her.
He works as a pharmacist at a private hospital in Crescent Vale City.
Oh fuck.
My skin erupts into goose bumps.
They work at hospitals with sick people who can be easily displaced.
I feel sick to my stomach.
“This is it,” I mutter. “I was right. It’s a hit list. And she’s targeting the Bones Brotherhood.”
Orion steals my phone out of my hand and sends the picture I took to himself.
