Neither of us move, but I can sense that her mind is racing just as fast as mine with all those questions she always has.
Eventually, Blue lifts her head from her knees and sits back against her seat, her gaze now fixed on the road.
“So to answer your questions from earlier: No, I did not think what youhad in mindfor tonight was a four-hour drive to see my mother and brother. Of all the fucked-up things you could have had in mind, this takes the cake. I mean, hell, not just the cake but the entire fucking bakery for how insane this is. I could have just called Kane —“
“I want to meet your brother,” I admit. And her mom, which I don’t admit.
“Why?”
“Because he’s the person decrypting the drive. And I’d like to get that handled as soon as possible so this bullshit with the governor becomes athemproblem and again and stops being ameproblem.”
“Ayouproblem? Shouldn’t it be ameproblem? He’s my brother.”
“Yeah, and I stick my dick in you, so now that makes it ameproblem according to the powers that be.”
Her brow cocks in question. “And just who the hell thinks they’re the powers that be? I’ll have a conversation with them and settle this shit—“
“You already had a conversation with them. In a limousine. On the way back from the plane. Or don’t you remember?”
She chuckles.
Fucking chuckles.
Blue went up against Tanner and Gabe then stepped out of the car with her chin up like a damn champ. I was too angry to wonder why when I dragged her from the front door to the back parking area, but thinking about it later, I had fucking questions.
Tanner wouldn’t answer them.
Gabe’s lips were zipped.
Sawyer was no help, and I didn’t bother with Jase because he’d start bitching about Everly, and I’d have to knock him the fuck out to shut him up.
Which leaves one.
“What did you say to them?”
Her little shoulders bounce more with barely restrained laughter. “I ran circles around them.”
“And what exactly does that mean?”
A single shake of her head. “Nope. You can have that conversation with them.”
“Why?”
“Because you’ll be mad.”
“I’m always mad.”
Blue goes silent, then, “Good point. I mentioned something that shut their bullshit down and somehow got accepted into your fucked-up family. Not that I want to be in your family. People get murdered and shit.”
Accepted?
I glance her way.
“What point?”
“You’ll be mad.”
“So you’ve told me.”
