“It’s a brigadeiro!” she squealed.
“A brigadeiro?! Whoa!” Kai said, scooping her up into his arms, throwing her over his shoulder.
The guys had told me that last time they brought her to the tattoo parlor, she didn’t want to leave.
After João thanked Donovan and walked to the exit with Landon, I lingered behind for a couple moments as Donovan cleaned up the area.
“Hey, um … are you, uh …” I glanced behind me at the guys who stood at the door with Ana, focusing my gaze on Landon. “Are you taking interns? I know a guy who might be interested in learning how to tattoo.”
Donovan smiled at me and glanced over my shoulder. “Landon?”
“How’d you know?”
“He was asking me about it yesterday.”
“He was?”
“Yeah, said he might be interested. He’s going to swing by next Tuesday after school.”
Warmth spread throughout my chest. Landon might not have had a plan for the future when we got together ages ago, but I was happy that I could push him to find a place in this crazy little world of ours.
Now, I just had to figure out where the other guys would fit into our new Redwood.
Once I thanked him, I hurried out the door to João’s car and slipped into the backseat with Ana. Since we had shit that we needed to do today other than tattoos, I had found a babysitter for Ana.
A couple moments later, they pulled up to Vera’s house, and I jumped out of the car, grabbed Ana from the back, and walked to the front door. Vera answered the door with Blaise Harleen behind her.
“Thank you for watching Ana today,” I said to Vera.
Vera placed her hands over Ana’s ears and moved closer, glancing at João. “He’s always so hard to deal with, but Maddie and I will always watch her when we can. It’s the least we can do after what happened to their mother.”
My lips curled into a small smile, and I crouched down to Ana’s level to tell her to be good. Once I made it back to the car, João had kicked Landon out of the passenger seat, so I could sit up front with him.
We might’ve been far from destroying Redwood completely, but we were closer than we had been two weeks ago. We were the gang who ran Redwood now. We got to decide how shit went down.
“Only thing left to do,” João said, turning on the car and gripping the steering wheel. “Find the person who infected Ana and beat the shit out of him.” João looked over at me. “You ready?”
I pulled my gun out of my waistband and gripped the handle. “I’m ready.”
We were the new rulers of Redwood. And we were going to change this place for good.
