No.
Momma didn’t raise an idiot. Gene was way too attached to Ethan for them to be in the same damn zip code.
“Is this because I said I was confused as to what I wanted to do?” Tommy asked. “Because I’d go back to working for the NOLA police in a heartbeat. We don’t have to leave. You can stay here with The Hunters,” he offered.
Far.
From.
Ethan.
Gene laughed.
“Uh, no. That is NOT happening,” he said. Gene wasn’t painting a bullseye on himself and staying here as a Hunter. He wanted to live.
To survive.
Tommy lifted a brow.
Was he telling him what to do?
Really?
Tommy liked being his bottom, but he wasn’t going to be bossed around.
“What do you mean, no? The Hunters have been cleaning the precinct out. They’ve taken out anyone who had ties to El Gato. You could stay here, and I could go back.”
Oh, yeah.
That wasn’t happening.
The Russians were coming, and Gene had a sick feeling that if they stayed, someone was dying. Since he was currently using his life…
Pass.
On top of that, Gene wished they didn’t have to have this fight so often, but this was the third time.
He wasn’t giving in.
“Tommy, my love…the cops in NOLA are never going to be ‘clean’. A clean cop is an oxymoron in this city, like jumbo shrimp or idiot savant.”
He wasn’t having it.
If this man thought that he was going to move North and watch his fiancé pine away after his ex…
Nope.
“Let’s talk about this,” Tommy said. “This might be what we need. I think that if I did go back, I could make a difference. I could be a good guy and clean the place up. Think about it, Gene. I could also be the inside man for The Hunters.”
He didn’t hesitate.
“No.”
If the man went back, he’d be dead in six months. Gene had spent the last fifteen years here. He knew what happened in this city.
Tommy had been here a year.
He was also green. The Blackhawks got him the gig because he’d helped them. Tommy was a newbie when it came to shit like this. If anything, he shouldn’t be more than a beat cop.
