“Our son likes me,” said Killian.
“Yeah, I know.”
Killian chuckled. “I did good.”
“You’re sure Bain’s okay?”
“Bain’s a good guy. I heard the way Killian Junior sounded on the phone. You’ve got nothing to worry about. Now, I think it’s time we had a little talk.”
“We talked last night.”
“Yeah, this time about our future.”
Chapter Six
Killian was on cloud nine. He’d never been so content. After what felt like a lifetime, he had June back, had a son, and everything was going his way.
His cell rang, and June passed it to him.
“Yeah.”
“The kid hung up before I could talk to you,” said Bain.
“What is it?” It felt odd having civilized conversations with Bain. Only a few months ago, they’d been at odds, ready to kill each other because they were both pissed off with the world. Killian had helped protect Scarlett from Boss, and now Bain was returning the favor by watching out for his son. Friends were always better than enemies, especially since they both worked for Killer of Kings.
“Scarlett found out more details. The head of the Dead Angels MC you knocked off was the father of their current president. He found out you were back in town when you used your credit card at a motel.”
He walked out onto the balcony so June wouldn’t hear and get upset. When he went on hits, he always paid cash. But the whole trip back in time had been a personal visit, so he didn’t think twice about using his credit card in that little shithole of a motel. “Why the hit on June and Killian then? They’ve never left the town.”
“I guess their prez didn’t make the connection until they saw you together. Something go down?”
Killian ran a hand through his hair. “I might have killed a few of their men.”
“You better talk with Boss,” said Bain. “There’s more shit, but it’s not my place.”
June joined him on the balcony just as he hung up. “Everything okay?” She cupped her coffee in both hands. She looked carefree like he’d just felt, and he wished that never had to change.
“I have one more call to make. Why don’t you get dressed? Then we can talk.” He kissed her forehead, trying his best to hide his concern. Once she closed the glass door, he dialed Boss.
“I thought you were going to get back to me,” said Killian.
“I was trying to handle things without you. You said you needed a break.”
“You worried about me or you?”
Boss chuckled. “You know I want you back to work, but I was going to leave you alone for a while. The shit is just piling up too deep, and I need it dealt with.”
“What shit? Bain said it had something to do with the Dead Angels MC. So what, I just kill their fucking prez again? Not a problem.”
“I had Shadow do some recon. They have June’s parents, Killian, and they won’t give them up until you go in personally.”
Fuck. “The parents? Those assholes don’t even give a shit about June. They abandoned her when she was pregnant with my damn kid.”
“Good. Then fuck ‘em. But that contract on June and Killian won’t go away by itself.”
“Is Shadow still in the town?” asked Killian.
“Yeah. He’ll be around if you need back up,” said Boss. “There’s something I don’t understand though.”
