“No,” she said in a high-pitched voice. “And I don’t want him to know. I’m not on it anymore. Well, I still have the account, but I don’t go on there anymore.”
“Anyone give you a creepy vibe?” Reyes asked.
“No. Well, actually, there was one guy. But he doesn’t know where I live, and I’ve only been on that site for eight or nine months.”
“Still worth a look,” Duke said. “I’ll call Ink tomorrow. He’s due back from looking at colleges with Royal and Baron. He can get Brody onto looking into anyone you’ve interacted with.”
“Thanks,” Hack said. “Can’t believe those boys are going to college soon.”
“No one can,” Reyes muttered. “College isn’t ready for them. Back to the problem, though.”
She winced. She hated being a problem.
“Once I talk to Ink, he or Brody will probably contact you for your password. There’s no one else?” Reyes asked. “A guy at your local grocery store? Someone who filled your gas tank regularly that might have stared a bit hard?”
“No. No one,” she said.
“I’ll contact the garage where we got her car fixed and see if I can get details of the person who paid for the bill,” Hack said. “They had to have given them credit card details.”
“Good,” Reyes said. “Don’t worry, Greer. We’ll find out who this is. Spike, you talk to Damon and see if he needs any help from us. I’ll hit up Markovich again about anything else he might know about Diaz. I’ll need to see if I can get a meeting with Wolfe, the leader of the Rykers. Fucking mess these idiots have gotten me involved in.”
There was a knock on the door that made her jump.
“Come in,” Reyes called out.
Butch stomped into the room. He still had blue hair. In fact, it looked almost worse. As if the slime had spread through his hair. “The bar is getting cleared out. I’ve spoken to those stupid dipshits. They reckon they were at a bar downtown when some Rykers started talking smack about the Iron Shadows, so they decided to follow them. Thought they had the upper hand on them since they outnumbered them. Didn’t realize that they had buddies close by. They escaped, but Johnson was knocked out.”
“And those dickheads left him there?” Reyes asked incredulously.
“Yep.” Butch ran his hand through his hair then grimaced. “How long is my hair going to be blue, Emme?”
“I really didn’t think it would dye it blue. I’m starting to wonder if it’s permanent.”
“Emme,” Butch rumbled.
“Oh my God! I forgot about the spider!” Greer cried, jumping to her feet. She must have caught Hack by surprise because he let her go. Turning, she grabbed him, and tugged at him until he stood. “It’s all right. I’ll protect you.” She threw herself in front of him, her eyes roaming the walls and ceiling. Where was that damn spider?
“Um, Greer? What are you doing?” Hack asked her in a soft voice. Grabbing her shoulders, he turned her toward him.
“I’m protecting you from the spider!”
“What spider?” Hack asked.
Why didn’t he seem more scared? She’d heard him yell when he saw a spider in the bathroom of the hotel they’d been staying in.
She placed her hands on his chest. “Don’t freak out, but there is a spider somewhere in here. Me saw it earlier.”
“Uh, Greer, I made that up.”
“What?” She glanced over at Emme in shock. “You made it up?”
“Yep. There wasn’t a spider. I just pretended there was so I had a reason to jump on the sofa and hit Butch with the slime bomb.”
“Which was naughty of you, Wildcat,” Reyes said. Although she swore she saw his lips twitch.
“Oh, good.” She patted Hack’s chest. “You don’t have to be scared. There’s no spider.”
“Hack’s scared of spiders?” Sunny asked. “I never knew that about you, Hack.”
