Fucking woman is impossible.
My phone pings in my pocket as we step through the front doors. There’s a message from Seb to say that she’s following us inside and they are behind her.
“Where are you going?” I whisper, slipping my arm around her waist and pulling her to my side.
“I’m going for a pee,darling,” she sasses, peeling away from my arm and disappearing into a door on the left, which I realise is the ladies’ toilet, before I can stop her.
Stepping to the side, I watch a woman, mid-twenties, with shoulder length blond hair enter the ladies after Jess.
Seb and Jamie step up next to me a few seconds later.
“That was her. Do you want me to go in?” Jamie asks, and I shake my head as my phone rings.
I pace outside the door as I answer the call. “Scott, what’s up?”
“I just heard from a friend on the force that they found the waiter you saw at the scene. I’m afraid he won’t be of any help to us, he’s dead.”
“Fuck! Do you have an ID yet?”
“No, and it might take some time to identify him with no fingers or teeth, and they cut out his tongue too. I’m guessing someone wanted to make their point loud and clear.”
“So, how did you know it was him?”
“They found the uniform he was wearing in the boot and a picture of Jess and one of Jake. Seems to me, Jess wasn’t his only target.”
“No,” I mumble, letting my mind wander. “Okay, thanks, Scott.”
Ending the call, I turn to see Jess and the woman who was following us coming out arm in arm.
Twenty-Eight
Jess
I slip away from Rick, truly needing to pee. I step inside the first empty cubicle and do my business. Silently cursing as my bruised body protests.
I’m surprised Rick didn’t follow me in here. I’ll give it five minutes before he storms in like fucking Action Man.
Leaving the cubicle, I start to wash my hands when I see movement behind me in the mirror. Spinning quickly, I come face to face with…Roxy.
“How are you here?” I ask, then burst out laughing when I think about how Rick is going to react.
“You know full well I put an APB out on his fucking arse. Just for shits and giggles, of course. Never mind that, are you okay? What happened?”
While I finish washing my hands, I fill Roxy in on what happened yesterday. I leave out the part where Rick practically blackmailed me in to coming with him. I don’t want her to kill him. Not yet anyway.
My laughter cuts off as that thought takes shape in my mind. I quickly brush it away and think of better things. Like him fucking my mou—
“Earth to JJ. Hello!”
“Sorry.” I shake my head in apology. “Come on, he’s waiting outside, and I’d rather not have him bursting into the ladies looking for me.”
Roxy laughs, linking her arm through mine as we head for the exit.
The look on Rick’s face when Rox and I walk out together is fucking priceless.
“You have got to be shitting me!” Seb exclaims before throwing his head back with a laugh.
Jamie eyes the pair of us like she could simply whisper the word death and her bidding would be done.
