Julian’s eyes narrow. “What the fuck is that supposed to mean? What do you know about that?”
I can see it the second the suspicion hits him. Because of how carefully we planned all this out, he hasn’t had a reason to suspect us this whole time. But now that River’s in his face telling him about it, it hits him that we’re the ones with reason to go after him.
River shrugs.
“I know a lot about it,” she says. “Because we’re the ones who burned down your gym. We stood there outside of it and watched it go up in flames.”
Julian opens his mouth, but no sound comes out. Maybe it’s the shock of hearing that, or maybe he’s just so full of rage he doesn’t know what to say.
But River isn’t done yet. She grins, and it reminds me a lot of the savage, unhinged look Knox wears sometimes.
Only it’s a lot hotter on her.
“We’re also the reason you have no supply or demand for your fucking drugs. So yeah. We know business isn’t exactly booming right now.”
Fury fills Julian’s face in a split second, and the tension grows thick and heavy in the air. We all shift closer to River, ready to protect her if we need to. But before Julian can do or say anything to her, a loud moan cuts through the air, amplified in the large room and ringing from the vaulted ceilings.
Julian’s face drains of color, and his eyes widen, as if he recognizes the sound immediately.
And, you know, he should.
Considering it’s his sister.
