“Did some diggin’ into the money Razor received offshore. Took a little bit, but found a company name that runs a firm out of DC, Pittsburgh, and here in NOLA.”

“Political?” I frown.

“Thought that at first, fuck knows the governor’s office has been in hot water lately for corruption, but I just got a report back from all of the employees that work for Global Investments,includin’ their CEO and COO. It’s some offshoot insurance broker. I’m runnin’ through the list of disgruntled employees, just to be sure.”

“Sounds like a good plan.”

“They went to a lot of trouble to hide this, T.”

“Know it.”

He gives me a chin lift. “Speakin’ of trouble, you heard about Aspyn Ashley?”

I give him a look. “Cash mentioned it, but with all that’s been goin’ on, haven’t had much chance to dissect it.”

“He and Ryder want me to watch her.”

I nod. “Yep. You seem like the best candidate. Priest is the next best option, but he’s a little more out in the community than you are. Nevada ain’t responsible enough, and he’ll end up fuckin’ her.”

“And I won’t?”

“You take duty a little more seriously.”

He smiles. “Looked her up. She’s fuckin’ trouble.”

“With a capital T.”

“Cash has me lookin’ into this stalkin’ bullshit. Her security team have been fired. Looks like she’s gonna need all the protection she can get her hands on. Her Father is overprotective, but I can see why,” he says. “He’s in the real estate game, owns a shit ton of property.”

“Sounds like she’s doin’ it tough.”

Aspyn was born with a silver spoon in her mouth. Her dad is very successful, and she’s spoiled, so why she agreed to do a reality show is beyond me. It’s not like she needed the cash.

“One thing’s for sure, can’t be bringin’ her around here. Word will get around.”

“We’ll work somethin’ out. Her Pops will probably buy her a fuckin’ apartment,” I say. Or they could rent somewhere with better security.

“Yeah, seems I get all the fun jobs,” he grumbles.

“Sure you can handle it?” Secretly, I’m glad I’m not on the job. I need Luna close to me. All fuckin’ day and night.

“Pretty sure I can handle it.”

“Gonna need round-the-clock security. You sure you don’t wanna commit?”

He’s honest when he says, “Me and Cash were on the outs for a long time. I don’t wanna disappoint him. Truth is, I don’t know the first thing about Aspyn Ashley or what she’s gonna need, but I can keep her safe. For Cash and this club, I’ll do it.”

“You took a bullet for this club,” I remind him. “For Cash to trust you with this, one of his closest friend’s kids, means somethin’.”

“Know it, that’s why I can’t fuck up. Or decline.”

I give him a rue smile. “She as wild as I’ve heard?”

“Apparently, she has a degree in sarcasm and plays with knives for fun.”

“Should be a hoot.”

“Tell me about it.”
