“Cade knows I don’t go anywhere without Rosie,” Joe said, eyeing his ankle.
“Tell us who the Spider is,” I gritted out.
“That’s not how I work,” Booker said with equal grit. “I can’t work with this hothead.”
I was a hothead? Hardly. I’d spent half my life calming Joe down and keeping him from going off half-cocked.
“Cade,” Joe said, “is there any other way to contact the Spider?”
“Not that I know of. Now you two are going to have to get the hell out of my office.”
“Not until we get what we came for,” I said.
“If he doesn’t have any other way to contact—”
What would your clients think if they knew how you spent your free time? Oh, the words were on the tip of my tongue. But I had nothing against BDSM, and I appreciated his—and Joe’s—need for privacy.
But I was pissed. Fucking pissed.
How could Joe not see right through this guy? Cade Booker was not on our side. Not at all.
Chapter Six
Marjorie
“Your mother has been moved to a safe house,” Dominic said.
My stomach dropped. “You said you didn’t know anything about my mother.”
“No. I said your mother wasn’t here.”
“Why does she need to be at a safe house?”
“The same reason you need to be. This is also a safe house.”
“Where are we?”
“Outside the city limits. A mobile home park.”
“Mobile homes are the most unsafe places ever,” I said. “You’d better hope no tornadoes come rolling through.”
“This is an abandoned mobile home park. These homes have been condemned.”
“Great. Should I expect the roof to fall in on me at any moment?”
“Of course not. This place is completely safe. We’ve made sure of it. The rest of the places here, with a few exceptions, are unsafe. Because the park as a whole is condemned, no one comes here.”
“I see.” Though I didn’t see at all. “Colin, are you following all of this?”
“Sort of,” he said, still agitated. “Could you untie me, please?”
“Are you going to run?” Dave asked.
“Where would he go?” I said. “Clearly we’re in the middle of nowhere.”
“We’re closer to things than you think,” Dominic said.
“Who the hell are you? Was it simple coincidence that we met at the gym?”
