“What does he mean?”Noemi asked, blue eyes sparkling mischievously.
“The Primus is moving up to a higher rank on the Council and wants me to represent the Pride.And yes, I will, Captain,” he said nodding at the man who was now grinning from ear to ear.
“Rami,” Noemi gasped, “We can work together!That would be wonderful!”
“Yes,roohi,” he nodded.
“Alright, let’s get this out of the way then-”
“Excuse me, Captain, Detective Sergeant Llewellyn, a call is on line six for you from a Dante Pascal, he said it was urgent,” a uniformed cop interrupted.
Rami looked at his Primus who gestured for him to take the phone call there.He inhaled, met Noemi’s eyes, then took the call.
“This is Llewellyn.”
“Detective,” Dante Pascal said from the other line, and Rami could swear he heard something strange in his voice even if he was slightly out of breath.
Something that sounded suspiciously like happiness.He looked at Noemi, taking in the contented smile on her beautiful face, and immediately his Lion chuffed.
Yes, Rami thought, the man seemed at ease somehow.His wheels began turning and he listened with a cop’s ear as Dante spoke.
“Just thought you’d like to know I found her.”
“Glad to hear it.You know we still have some unsolved crimes here involving the Wolves, including two who attacked my mate,” he couldn’t help the growl in his voice.
“Marty Shannon and Joey Ramos.They won’t be a problem anymore.You’ll find them, or what’s left, in a warehouse in Brooklyn between Reed and Conduit.”
“I see,” Rami said, relief and anger at not being the one to end them warring within him, “I suppose there will be no evidence you were there?”
“That’s right.”
“And the gambling?You got a name for me, Pascal?”
“Sure do.The Claw Pack has two main players.I think you’ll find their Alpha, Armand Contreras complicit in all their illegal dealings, including a gambling ring run by his son Rico.He’s not the heir and trying to make a name, impress his dad by being a thug.Armand’s a mean old bastard.Ruthless, trying to muscle in on the Greenwich Pack’s territory.He’s responsible for Daphne’s kidnapping.”
“I know you Wolves like to govern yourselves, but we are here to help you.The Shifter Council will need to know about this.”
“I know, detective, and I agree.These guys have to be stopped.”
“Do you have evidence of this wrongdoing so I can get a warrant and nail these bastards?”
“Of course, detective.That’s why I’m calling,” Dante explained, “Everything you need to get a warrant on those assholes is in the trunk of a 2006 Camry stashed atAll Night Parkingnear the warehouse with the bodies.Ask for Jose, he’ll lead you to it.”
“I will,” Rami paused, understanding between the two men seemed to grow despite the fact they stood on vastly different sides of the law, “You sound winded, Dante.Want me to send an ambulance?”
“It’s just the adrenaline.But thanks, detective.”
“No problem.How about your girl?She okay, too?”
“Yeah, we’re both good.”
“Glad to hear it.You’ve been quite helpful.”
“See ya around, detective.”
The subtle click told Rami he’d hung up.
“Well?”Noemi approached as Rami replaced the phone in the cradle.
