“No. We talked about him and she hasn’t looked for him at all since she left. She’s been completely off grid.”
“I could really use her fucking help finding him, Con.”
“I know. We’ll be passing by a mall later today. We’re going to stop off and get her a laptop. Once she’s all set up, I’m sure she’ll find him in no time.”
“Yeah, well I hope so. Because as soon as he knows we have her, he’s going to be back here with a fucking army.”
“Yup. You thought about if maybe we should get out of the city for a while?”
“No,” he barks. “I’m not being driven out of our city by the fucking Russians.”
“I know, but if it protects Jessie...”
“We’ll protect Jessie. He’ll never lay another finger on her.”
“You’re right.” I nod my agreement, although trouble has a habit of finding our girl even when she’s not looking for it. “You heard any more about the evil cunt who spawned us?”
“No.”
“How are Liam and Mikey?”
“Mikey’s okay. But Liam is… well, you know how he gets. He’s too hard on himself.”
“Yeah, I know. Tell him Jessie will give him a video call later. That should cheer him up.”
Shane laughs softly. “I’m sure it will.”
“You want a call too, bro?”
“No. What I need to say should be said face to face,” he says with a sigh.
“Okay. She misses you though.”
“I gotta go,” he says, clearly changing the subject. “Send me that license plate and I’ll speak to you tomorrow.”
“Okay. Bye.”
Jessie walks through the door as I finish the call. “Everything okay?” she asks with a smile that damn near takes my breath away.
“Yup. Just checking in back home. Now let’s hit the road and go find you a new laptop.” I put my arm around her shoulder and we walk back to my car.
Chapter
Thirty
JESSIE
Wrapping a towel around myself, I step out of the bathroom to see Conor is still fiddling with the laptop he bought me earlier.
“I thought you might have joined me.” I arch an eyebrow as I walk toward him.
He reaches out and pulls me onto his lap, rubbing his nose along my throat and inhaling deeply. “You smell incredible, Angel. And if you wanted me to join you, you should have asked. I thought you wanted me to get this thing up and running?”
“Have you?”
“Yep. And I’ve installed all of your apps from the cloud. You’re good to go.”
“Shall we video call the twins now? You promised them a call, didn’t you? And then we can just relax for the rest of the evening?”
