Cage
The deal with Vernelli went well. We sold a majority of our guns to him, and he was happy to buy a few extras. Now I sit back with my drink in hand, drowning the thoughts of her like that does any good.
“She hasn’t been to work,” Ridge says as I look over at him and shrug.
“What the hell do you want me to do?”
“Did you hear what I said? She hasn’t been to the shop. There’s fuckin’ notes on her door from people lookin’ for her, Cage.”
“And you want me to do what?”
“You’re a real piece of work today,” he mumbles as Knight strolls into the room.
“We need to talk,” he announces.
“About what? You bitchin’ too?” I ask him with a smirk on my face.
“The video was fucked with. That date isn’t right. She wasn’t fuckin’ him while she was with you, Cage,” he says.
“What do you mean?”
“Mystic tore that video apart. Someone changed the timestamp on it,” he says. My heart lodges in my throat. What the fuck does this mean? I sent her away and threatened her for nothing? What the hell?
“Someone changed it,” I repeat his words.
“Yeah. And she hasn’t been to work. I had Mystic pull every feed he could find and she never showed up for work, Cage.” That’s unlike her. She loves what she does and would never miss work.
I tip the glass to my lips and finish the rest of my drink before setting it on the table and refilling it.
“Maybe she went on vacation.”
“You really think she’d do that?” Tarek chimes in now. I shrug. I don’t know what she might do.
“Don’t know, and it isn’t really my problem now, is it?”
“You’re just gonna let this shit go? Let her go?” Knight asks. I look up just as I see Twitch walk in. Again, he looks too fucking happy, pissing me off more.
“What the fuck is with him?” I ask, nodding toward the asshole.
“I’ve been lookin’ at him too. Mystic is pullin’ some info for me,” Knight says.
“You think he’s dirty?” I ask, looking up at him. He shrugs this time.
“Can’t say for sure, but I don’t like how he’s been actin’ lately. He’s too damn happy,” he adds. I agree. Something is off with him.
“We need to know what’s goin’ on with him, Knight. I don’t like secrets,” I remind him.
“I know, Prez, and I plan on findin’ out all I can. What are we doin’ about Yenni, though?” he asks.
“We’re not doin’ shit. She did what she did,” I remind them even though they just told me she didn’t. I can’t wrap my head around it. I sent her away. Hell, I was ready to blow her fucking head off before this came to light.
“She didn’t do shit, Cage, and now you know it,” Ridge tells me.
“Why don’t you run over there and see what Twitch is so goddamn happy about for me,” I tell him brushing him off. He huffs out a breath but walks off anyway. Tarek takes a seat and stares at me, not saying a word. It’s a little unnerving.
“You want somethin’?”
