“Bullshit!” I rammed her face back into the corpse. “Tell me, Temperance. Fucking tell me.”
“YES,” she screamed, spitting out gore and pupae. “The Brotherhood was sending arms across the Pakistani border into Afghanistan. Dost Mohamet Khan was the only one who knew about our involvement. He was the go-between—”
“All these years, I believed you were a fucking zealot. A patriot so short-sighted that…” D’s mouth worked. “How could you, Temper? How fucking could you?”
“Because she is a zealot,” Conor growled. “But her morals are for hire.”
With that, I shoved her face back into Reinier’s guts. As she passed out with a mouthful and a noseful of Reinier’s rotting flesh, I turned to Conor who asked, “We head to the Floridian estate, then what?”
I sucked in a breath that was soaked with the flavor of death. “Then we make moves to take over the Brotherhood.”
“You make it sound so simple,” D drawled.
“He’s an old man. How hard can he be to kill?”
She fist-bumped me. “You deal with one treacherous old fuck and I’ll deal with this young one. Then we meet in the middle?”
“No.” I swiped at my hands with a wet wipe I retrieved from my go bag. “I think I’ll need you over in Europe.”
I reached for my cell as a thought occurred to me.
Me: What drug did you use on her?
Eagle Eyes: Sodium thiopental. You’re welcome lol.
Truth serum.
Mostly bullshit, but the anesthetic did lower inhibitions and made people chatty. That explained a lot.
“Star?”
I blinked at D. “What?”
“Europe?”
“Europe,” I confirmed.
She huffed. “Informative.”
“D?”
“Yup.”
“When you’re done with Temper, do not start a fire.”
She sniffed. “Spoilsport.”
“Arsonist.”
“You see, you think that’s an insult…”
“I know it is.” I arched a brow at her. “Agreed? We don’t need emergency services flying over here when a wildfire starts, and we sure as fuck don’t need them snooping around our kill zone, now do we?”
“No, I guess not,” she said with a huff. “You want me to clean up the place, though? Just in case Kuznetsov catches wind that you’re onto him and he uses this crime scene against you?”
“We have people we can send in to do that,” Conor informed her.
“Make her suffer, D.”
