“Fuck me,” Angel groaned.
I looked over at my brother-in-law.
The first brother-in-law to join our family. The quiet police sergeant who had taken one look at my sister and known that she was the one. Even though my sister had been much, much younger than him at the time.
I grinned. “You’re glad that you joined this family, right?”
Angel looked at his wife, who was laughing her ass off while hanging on to Priscilla, and then grinned.
“Count my lucky stars every single day,” he admitted.
We both were quiet while the rest of our family discussed Heath’s idiocy.
When we finally arrived at the car, everyone got in at once, leaving just me and Angel standing on the driver’s side of the big passenger van.
As Angel reached for the door, he said, “It took a lot of balls to do what your man did this week.”
I blinked at him in surprise. “You think so?”
He nodded once. “I know so.”
I tilted my head slightly. “Why?”
Angel dropped his hand from reaching for the driver’s side door and turned to stare at me.
“One, he has an assassin after him.” He flipped up one finger. “Two, he took you with him knowing that he had one, but confident that he could protect you better than your own family could.”
I smiled.
“Three.” Angel flipped another finger up. “He was very open with the fact that someone came onto his property, he allowed his animals to eat him, and then he came here because he was involved in something illegal.”
“He wasn’t involved with the reason he came here,” I told Angel. “He will be doing something illegal, though. Of that I have no doubt.”
Angel rolled his eyes. “The man’s been in prison twice, with no guilt from either crime that he committed. Not to mention that whatever that motorcycle club is involved in is highly illegal. How do you think he accomplishes the things that law enforcement can’t?”
I hadn’t thought about it to be honest but…
“I don’t really care what he has to do if he’s getting those kids back,” I told Angel point blank.
“Agreed.” Angel nodded solemnly. “Unfortunately, I’m on the other side of the law and can’t act on it. But if your man does find himself in hot water over whatever they’re trying to accomplish today, then I’ll do my best to get him out of it.”
CHAPTER 23
I’m going to let God fix it. Because if I fix it, I’m going to be in jail.

“Son of a bitch is lying through his teeth,” Belle’s father grumbled.
I looked over at him and snorted. “Did you honestly think he wouldn’t? I mean, there’s a reason Angel gets a bad vibe off of him.”
Nico shook his head. “I was hoping that the man running this state wasn’t a piece of shit, and that Angel was just wrong in this one instance.”
“But he’s not,” Hunt said. “Now that I’m able to connect to his personal server thanks to what Lynn brought in with him, I’m able to go through his files, and I’m not liking what I see.”
Hunt turned his computer, and all the men turned their heads to stare at it.
