Ace shakes his head from his spot next to Wild Man. “Dude, that was her overnight bag, not her purse. Even I know that shit.”
Wild Man points at the blinking yellow dot on the screen. “That’s Gia right there.”
“You found her?” I sigh, and a deep sense of relief washes over me.
“I did. And even better, I have sound.” His dark eyes sparkle with mischief as he presses a button, and Hector’s voice is the first thing I hear.
“Last night, you stole money from me. A lot of fucking money, and you’re going to give back every single cent.”
“Shit. She was on her laptop when I came back from Church.”
“At your house?” Shades asks the question, but I know everyone is curious.
I nod. “Yes. She stayed there because she had no place to go.” Not a complete lie.
“She did more than sleep there, didn’t she?” Wild Man is wearing a shit-eating grin. “Sound man,” he says again. “I heard all the fucking and sucking, the choking. All of it, you kinky bastard.” He laughs and holds up a hand for me to smack, and reluctantly, I do.
“All right, brother! It’s about damn time you got some again.”
The guys, including Ace, clap and whistle as if I’m a teenage boy who just had his first orgasm.
“All right, guys, we have more important things at the moment.”
“I don’t know,” Coop says with a wide grin. “I mean, Kelsey is loaded, and she hasn’t justgivenme a seven-figure thank you for this cock.”
“Maybe your cock isn’t as good as you think,” I joke back. And it works to break some of the tension, to make sure we’re all loose and alert when Ace gives us the go-ahead.
The laughter dies, and Hector’s voice sounds again. “What the fuck is taking so goddamn long?”
Gia’s voice is shaky when she answers. “Do you know any programming languages? It’s not as simple as typing in give big money to Hector’s biker gang.”
I smile. She’s trying to be tough and hard and prove that she’s not scared, but I can hear the fear, and it’s gutting me. “Don’t be stupid, Gia.”
“Worse,” Ace growls. “She’s going to do something reckless. We need to go.”
“Talk less and type more,” Hector growls. “Unless you need a sample of what that bitch went through before she took her last breath.”
Gia lets out a harsh laugh. “No thanks. The decomposing body conveys your message pretty clearly.”
Hector laughs. “Time is ticking, Gia, and I don’t like waiting.”
“Yeah, and I don’t like death threats, asshole,”she whispers under her breath.
I turn to Wild Man. “Is there anything you can do to help her? Put that money someplace else that she doesn’t know about?”
“Yeah, I can. But it will only make things more difficult for her.”
“How can you say that? If there’s no money, won’t that give her a few more hours before he kills her?” I’m frantic, and my chest is heaving with every labored breath I take.
“Chill, Preacher. If that money isn’t where she knows she put it, Hector will kill her immediately.”
“Besides,” Ace growls. “We’re not giving that money back. Period.” His expression is serious, lips drawn into a tight line, brows furrowed in deep concentration.
“Then we’re going? Now?”
Ace nods. “As soon as Wild Man gets up the layout of the building where they’re holding her. This time I don’t want any of those fuckers getting away.”
Shades nods. “It’s time for their luck to fucking run out.”
