I debate my words, my eyes going briefly to the ceiling before focusing back on Archer. “This doesn’t feel right. Stealing objects is one thing, but people? We’ll go to prison for a really long time. I don’t want that. Do you?”
“Of course not.” He rears his head back, blinking at me. “But we can’t just let her go,” he reasons. “We need to be smart about this and let the hype of her disappearance die down before we cut a deal with her and let her go. By the time she makes it back to London, we will be gone. I’ve been thinking about it while we went for supplies. Even if she does break our deal and go to the police, we’ll just disappear. We can use up what we have in savings and get the hell out of Dodge.”
“Fuck it, we could go somewhere hot,” Booker jokes.
“Exactly—anywhere we want. We’ve been running job after job, so maybe it’s time for a break anyway.” Archer shrugs, watching me carefully. Everything we do, we do as a team. One decision, one unit, as Booker calls it. It’s how we became the best at what we do. We work together seamlessly, knowing each other’s strengths and weaknesses. We became a little family, since all of us grew up without any true ones.
My eyes go back to the ceiling again. I may not like Genevieve Dalton, but I don’t want to kill her. Not for her fiancé’s mess. Someone who has survived what she has deserves better.
“Okay. I still don’t like it, but I guess we are stuck with her for now,” I concede.
“So it seems.” Archer nods. “Let’s make the most of it, okay? Oh, and, Gage? Be nice to her.”
“Me? Nice?” I snort. “Never.”
That makes them all laugh.
