I pushed that to her with my own gaze, the knowledge that I would be back.
She nodded once before I answered her brother, saying, “No. She’s not in danger, as far as we can tell. The information that we have gathered shows that everything is okay now. There’s no active hit on her. All parties that have ‘taken’ the hit have been dealt with one way or the other. The latest one was arrested for a past crime she’d committed that authorities were able to pin on her based on evidence they gathered. Or your sister helped them gather. As for Farrell and Lisbeth…they’re not a danger. Our information shows that they don’t do their own dirty work, they hire it out. And they don’t have the money to do it right now, but even if they did, they have authorities watching over their every move. If they do find a way to make anything happen, we’ll get a heads-up first.”
Timothy and Anthony looked relieved, then dismissed me completely in order to talk to their sister, whom they hadn’t seen in years.
I’d just turned to make my way out of the room, my office my destination, when I heard Folsom utter an “excuse me.”
I was slowing down when that crazy woman ran toward me and jumped on my back.
Before I could process her being on my back by stopping, she wrenched my head back by using her fingers in my hair, then planted her mouth onto mine.
Chuckling, I reached back and cupped her head with my hand, returning the kiss.
When she was finished with me—and it was definitely her finished with me, not me with her—she let me go and slid off my back.
I turned to watch her go and nearly laughed at the angry eyes her brothers were shooting my way.
They did not like that she’d kissed me.
They were on their own. I would take all the kisses I could get.
“Be back in an hour, Kobesama!” she ordered. “Or I’ll come looking for you.”
I shot her a wink, then left, heading straight for my office.
I should’ve probably expected it, but I didn’t.
Therefore, when I got to my office and found my sister there, as if she’d been waiting for me, because she knew she caused me so much grief and annoyance I’d need a break from everything and everyone, I wasn’t surprised.
“Myen,” I said with very little patience. “I don’t have time for your shit.”
“You know you’re so predictable, don’t you?” Myen asked, eyes narrowed.
“What are you talking about?” I asked as I got off my bike and headed for my office at the back of the alley.
“I’m talking about how I knew that you’d come here the moment I pissed you off.” She rolled her eyes. “You always pull away. You always have to pout when things don’t quite go the way you want them to.”
“Things didn’t not go my way. The only unfortunate thing about today that didn’t ‘go my way’ as you see it, was seeing you,” I pointed out. “And even that wasn’t too bad since I know you need something and won’t get it.”
“Oh?” Myen asked.
The way she said it, as if she’d already had it, made me pause and turn to stare at her.
She smiled, then held up her hand.
Her hand that had a gun in it. She smiled wistfully, then handed the gun backwards to her husband.
“Myen…” I started but never finished my sentence.
Bang.
