“You got the shit?” I asked Kai once we pulled into Jace Harbor’s ritzy community.
Landon sat in the passenger seat, flicking a cigarette out the window angrily because I had torn him away from his little girlfriend this morning. I had told him last night not to stay too late at her house, but that asshole couldn’t stay away from her.
I tightened my hand around the steering wheel and parked in Jace’s driveway, spotting his car in the open garage. Good, that fucker was home. We needed to have a little chat with him because these cops were up to something, and I had a bad fucking feeling that it was connected to whatever Jace needed help with.
“Yeah, I got it,” Kai said.
“Good.”
After stepping out of the car, I walked up to the front door and didn’t wait for Kai or Landon. Their slow asses would catch up. I rang the doorbell as the guys stepped behind me, Landon tapping his shoe on the ground and driving me fucking nuts.
Jace Harbor stood inside the house, rolling his eyes when he saw us through the front window. He stormed over to the door and ripped it open, breathing heavily through his mouth.
God, what was with him and Landon today? Couldn’t be without their girls for a fucking minute.
Whipped.
“You know not to show up at my fucking house,” Jace said through gritted teeth, opening the door and letting me, Landon, and Kai saunter into the foyer of the mansion, an enormous chandelier hanging above us.
I patted him on the shoulder. “Oh, don’t worry about it, Harbor. We love coming to pay you a visit in your daddy’s mansion. It’s always a pleasure.” I walked around the foyer and glanced down the wide halls. “Is Allie home?”
Jace clenched his jaw. “Don’t push it.”
“Is lover boy jealous?” Landon asked, cracking a smirk. “Heard Allie’s been going out with Jamal. Your best friend and your stepsister.” He shook his head. “Must be hard, especially since you still love her, huh?”
He was one to fucking talk about jealousy. Hell, so was I though.
As much as I hated Imani and gave Landon shit for it, I wanted her to myself.
Kai swung his backpack over his shoulder, tugged out a manila folder labeled Harbor, and handed it to Jace. Jace swallowed and flicked open the folder, blowing out a breath through his nose. Inside the folder were papers about his father, about his money, about Jace Harbor himself. He had wanted us to get him information about his own family, and we had gotten it, especially out of that shit cop last night.
“You know that I can’t fucking use this.” Jace slammed it back against Kai’s chest. “I asked you to find me something useful, not shit that won’t hold up in any fucking court.”
Landon leaned against the wall, posting a foot on it and crossing his tattooed arms over his chest. “If you want more than this, you have to pay more, Harbor.”
“You’re asking us to break into the police chief’s house in a guarded neighborhood, steal a stack of papers from a locked safe, and not get caught by Nicole’s father or Nicole,” I said, leaning back on the leather couch and hanging an unlit cigarette out of my mouth. That was what he had wanted about a couple weeks ago.
And while it might’ve been worthwhile, especially to put another rich Redwood bitch away, we needed more money. I was fine with stealing a cop car, but the police chief didn’t fuck around.
“Can you fucking do it or not?” Jace asked through gritted teeth.
“Of course we can do it.” Kai walked around the living room, staring at all the expensive shit that Jace owned. “But it’s going to cost you.”
“How much?” Jace asked.
I lit my cigarette and puffed on it. “Two mil.”
Jace’s eyes widened slightly. “Are you fucking kidding me?”
“How much is it worth to you, Harbor?” I said, standing up and sauntering over to him.
We had our own shit to worry about too, and we couldn’t be risking our lives just to get fucking caught. I slung an arm around Jace’s shoulders and nodded out the window to Allie, who was being dropped off by Jamal in front of the house.
“How much is she worth to you? You are doing this to keep her safe, aren’t you?”
Two million was nothing to Jace and his father.
