“We need to talk.”
“Okay.”
“I need you to promise me you didn’t go on a psycho rampage throughout all of Lowtown.”
“Jesus Christ—all I did was shoot a few bastards in the goddamn club that was holding Brooke. I would have never gone back there if Fuckboy Roy hadn’t taken her.”
“I figured as much, but I had to ask.”
“Yeah, and why is that?”
“More people are dead. That guy you sent me to—dead. Found where the club moved to—all dead.”
“I’ve been here this whole time!”
“Yeah, I know that. I had to ask because I can’t quite say when all of them died.”
“Who do you think is doing it?”
“No idea. It doesn’t make sense. Men killing women at a time like this? Fucking crazy.”
“How are the sweeps going?”
“Lots of scumbags holed up in the city. Most are harmless. Hunter found a chick, but I’m not sure how that will pan out for him.”
“We could have easily said the same thing about Trent and Suki. Heck, Suki straight up stabbed him and they didn’t even know the same language, not to mention Trent hating kids. Now he’s playing papa.”
“Yeah, well, we may have to drag the girl in kicking and screaming.”
“Are we really going to be like that?”
“Of course we are.” Cole casts me a cold, hard glare. “Consider yourself lucky you didn’t have to resort to that. I have too many men hungry for a hot pocket, and if they don’t get one soon, don’t think they won’t look to yours.”
Rage fills me. “Let them fucking try.”
“I aim to avoid that, but that won’t be easy unless there’s more tail to chase.”
As much as I hate what he’d said, he’s made a damn good point.
“Kicking and screaming it is.”
“I’m thinking about taking some men out to the farm in a few. I’ll bring Dane along, hoping he’ll focus his aggression on the mission at hand.”
“Which is?”
“Helping Russ, killing Reavers.”
“Shit, we really doing that?”
“They’ve been causing all kinds of trouble for Russ, but that’s not the only reason we’re meeting up. There’s a pregnant chick Christine wants to see. The only problem is, I hardly want the only competent doctor we have leaving base.”
“Can you bring the chick to the Keep?”
“That was the plan, but I don’t know how it will be received by Russ. He’s a proud man and won’t take kindly to us stealing his folk. I like the fucker, and aim to keep our relations good. Hopefully, by taking care of the Reavers, he’ll loosen up a bit.”
“Amber give you any good intel?”
He frowns. “She refuses to cooperate and gave us bad intel. You’d think that if they were as terrible as she’d indicated to Selina, she’d want them dead. But she’s protecting them.”
