“You can’t government name me, whenTHOSE AREN’T MY GOVERNMENT NAMES! You only got two!”

Well, it did what she’d needed. They were distracted and not bickering.

So, she winked at him.

“Just behave.”

Gene ignored them since he was accustomed to the jackassery that went down when they were all in a room together.

That was the most normal thing aboutThe Hunters.

Boys had to be boys.

Unless there was a lady around to whip them into shape.

“That’s going to be tied to ours,” he stated. “The one in DC was two targets, a minister and his wife. The COD was sliced throats.”

Yeah, that was what he’d heard.

It was a fast hit, with a high-dollar payout.

“When a job gets done, you know the hive talks about it. There are a couple names floating around that are likely the ones who did it. What was the other?” Rogue asked.

He shared.

“An ME who works for the city inCorpus Christi—also a slit throat.”

Yeah, that matched up to the details they’d overheard. Remmy had picked up the chatter first and foremost, and then filtered it to Jinx, to see if she wanted to handle it.

His wife liked to keep busy whenThe Hunterswere having downtime. A quick hit like that brought in millions, and that was how they kept their family funded.

“Yeah, that’s the other. Remmy keeps us in the loop in case someone is gunning for Mikey O’. It was definitely over a million to do it.”

Well, hot damn.

They had confirmation that it was clean up in Aisle Cuckoo. They were onto Devon, and at some point, they’d have him locked down.

The one thing he knew wasThe Hunterswouldn’t have time to go after them, too. They had to focus on Devon. He was Elizabeth’s main target.

That was priority one.

Because she knew the man well, and they’d lived, worked, and played together, Maura knew what he was going to ask.

“If you want them done, too, we’re going to need time. Logistically, we can’t be all over the place, and we work better as a team. We can add them on for later.”

Oh, they definitely had to be taken down. They would have intel on Devon. He likely contacted them by phone. At some point, he might screw up, and they could backtrack that to him.

If they wanted Gabby to hack, she needed something to use first, and foremost.

Yeah, then, it hit Gene.

He knew a way to kill all the bad birdies with lots of stones.The Hunterswere busy, but they also had some Snakes.

Since Rogue just said his wife kept her ear out for other jobs, this might be a good one for her.

Ironic, but good.

“Hold on,” Gene said, using his tablet since he was already on his phone. He sent the call to it, and dialed.
