Her little thief pursed her mouth, refusing to speak. She’d never liked the little bitch when she came through as a survivor, but she’d chalked it up to the woman’s attitude because she was scared.
After she’d secured her, she glanced at her texts. Backup was close but she was worried about where Roam was. Just as she was dialing, the back door banged.
“What the hell, Lora? No one called about the twins being hurt.”
The fury and surprise on Roam’s face wasn’t surprising if she’d used his kids to get rid of him.
“I found her with the safe open removing your money bag and placing a bag of drugs. I was coming to look for you before I questioned her.”
Her phone beeped with a text.
Code Chandler
She replied:Code Joey
Beth walked in with Winnie, both armed and ready for anything.
“What the hell is she doing in Roam’s office?” Winnie asked while Beth scoped out the rest of the shop before coming back. She waited to see how Roam wanted to handle this. She’d prefer calling the sheriff and having him press charges, then waiting to see who came to bail her out.
“What do you mean? Do you know her?”
Winnie nodded at Roam. “She’s survivor number five who came through the network. She’s supposed to be in Nebraska or letting us know she needed to move. Things seem to be getting interesting.”
Remi glared at the woman. “I’m guessing you didn’t have an emergency earlier this week. You didn’t want me to recognize you. What are you doing here?”
“Not talking to you, bitch.”
“Regardless of who she is, I want this handled by the sheriff with a report. Depending on where she needs to go, we might need you to transport,” Roam directed. Remington nodded at Beth knowing she’d notify the sheriff. Hopefully he was close because she didn’t relish staying any closer to this skank than she had to.
“You better let me go. You’re playing with the wrong people.”
“Thought you weren’t talking,” Beth said.
It was funny she thought she had any bargaining power. Although she’d like to tape her mouth closed, she needed her talking. Time to piss her off and see if she’d spout any more information.
“Oh wow! The only thing I’m scared about is getting something contagious from your diseased body,” Remi grinned as her words had their thief glaring at her.
“You’ll pay. You’ll all pay, and you’ll wish you’d never stuck your nose into our business.”
“What business is that? Skanks are us. Pussy for losers.”
Roam’s snort had her almost laughing but her words were picking at the woman’s self-control. She needed her angry because angry people made mistakes.
“I have one. Travel the love channel. Our channels are the loosest and the last you’ll ever have,” Beth snickered, barely getting the words out before laughing until tears leaked out of her eyes. Her sisters were the best.
“My turn! My turn!” Winnie yelled. “Ride me for a night of never-ending horrors. Go where everyone has gone before and never gone back for seconds.”
Remi kept an eye on their prisoner as her skin turned a mottled shade of red. The sheriff had walked in behind her and nodded at Remi to keep going. She appreciated the way he worked with the bail bonds company and the MC. They were all invested in making Bluff Creek a better place.
“I’m not a fucking skank. I’m in charge of acquisitions, you bitches, and you’ll never see the light of day again.”
Not what she’d been expecting but enlightening, nonetheless. They knew she was connected to the representative, but the acquisitions comment had her curious.
“I’d like to hear more about your acquisitions. My deputy will take you out to the car while I get some information.”
She would have liked to question her a little longer but whatever the sheriff wanted they’d do because he was in charge of the scene now. She was thankful she’d come in when she had. What exactly had the woman planned? Was she planting the drugs to then call a tip in later? What had been her plan? Roam would have known she lied and been furious about the lie about his kids. He would have found the missing money and the drugs when they closed up the register tonight. What was going on and how were they going to stop it?
