Maybe Eddie wasn’t feeling anger. Maybe it was something else a few notches above anger.

“He went from two counts of kidnapping to two counts of kidnapping and attempted rape with her pants unzipped,” Lee answered, calm as you please.

I blinked.

Um…pardon me?

“Pardon?” I whispered.

Eddie moved about an inch, but it was a frightening inch. He ignored me and his body and face now registered out-and-out hostility, but his voice was still quiet.

“Yeah? That okay with you? You all right with that?”

“Darius was here the whole time,” Lee said.

“Fuck, Lee! You used my woman as bait!” Eddie shouted.

Eek!

The W-word with an even more scary B-word.

“What are you talking about?” I asked.

Lee turned to me and Eddie pulled a hand through his hair. “I slipped a tracking device in your jeans today at the hospital and Vance told Lottie the plan at Eddie’s place. Mace had found Vince and we knew he was watching you. Lottie went out unprotected with her own device. Vince took the bait. Now, it’s done.”

At his words, a red film covered my eyes.

Scary or not, Lee was going to get a dose of Jet’s Newfound Attitude.

“You used my sister as bait?” I shouted, took my life in my hands for the second time that night and shoved his shoulder.

Eddie grabbed my wrist and pulled my back to his chest, wrapping my arm around my waist at the front.

“I had her tracked, Lee. She was covered. Willie had her,” Eddie ignored me and (selfishly if you asked me) kept on his own subject.

“Willie was five minutes late,” Lee replied.

I struggled against Eddie’s hold.

“You used my sister as bait?” I shouted again, feeling, for the first time in my life, that attention should be centered on me.

Lee’s eyes turned to me. “I was covering your sister.”

Oh.

Well then.

That was something.

I stopped struggling.

“It’s over,” Darius finally spoke. “What’s it matter how it’s done? Everyone’s breathin’. Quit fuckin’ fightin’,” he said this as if he’d had a lot of practice stopping Eddie and Lee from fighting.

Eddie and Lee stared at each other.

I waited, tense.

Hmm.
