A:
Heading to the office.
He would text me back once the line was secure, and who knew when that would be, so I sat back on my bed and waited.
And waited.
Finally, thirty minutes later, my phone buzzed.
A:
Call now. Make it quick.
“Is there a problem?” Alexei answered.
“I need a favour,” I said. Alexei didn’t give out many favours, and if he did, there was a high price.
“This must be serious. You’ve never asked for one before.”
“I never had a reason.”
I never wanted to ask him for anything. The return on them was threefold.
And it was never good.
“Let me guess, this is about a girl.”
“Not just any girl.”
“It’s always about a girl,” he groaned. “So then, the rumours are true.”
“What rumours?”
“You’re fucking Hellcat, aren’t you?”
"She's my woman, yeah," I confessed. "But that's not why I'm calling."
“I’m surprised you’re not already dead.”
“Their prez likes me.”
“More like tolerates.”
I muttered, “Whatever.”
“Spit it out then.”
“Someone has taken her, and we can’t find who.”
“And you want me to make some calls?”
“Yes,” I ground out.
“She’s worth it?”
“I wouldn’t be using a favour if she wasn’t.”
“For your sake, I hope she is. I’ll call back if I find something.”
