“You’re a brat,” I say as I give her a shove.

Both of us burst out giggling.

“Come on, let’s go find Patrick. We have some shark hunting to do,” she says as she slides off the stool.

I glance at my half eaten sandwich. Daddy told us to finish them, but I’m plenty full, and we’re taking a bag of Cheetos with us, so surely he’ll understand. Although it is his special sandwich I make sex noises over so at the last second, I grab it off the plate and shove it into a plastic baggie to take it with me.

“Hawk texted me and said he has some information,” I say as I walk into Declan’s office.

He looks up from his laptop and sits back in his chair while I find Hawk’s name in my phone and hit the call button.

“Hey, man,” Hawk says.

“Hey. Declan’s here with me. What’s up?”

“We found two of the men you’re looking for. One of our contacts at The Cage connected us with them. We’re holding them at a warehouse.”

I glance at Declan as he raises his eyebrows. “Did you get anything from them?”

Hawk grunts. He’s not a man of many words but he’s loyal to a fault and as dangerous as any of my men.

“We’re working on them as we speak. We picked them up a few hours ago. What do you want us to do?” Hawk asks.

“Can you squeeze them for information and see if they crack for you? We want to avoid coming and going from the safe house so we don’t draw any attention to ourselves,” I say.

“On it. Call you back,” Hawk grunts before he hangs up.

His bluntness makes me chuckle and shake my head. Declan does the same.

“I’ll have the chopper on standby,” Declan says.

I send a text to Bash, Kieran, Grady, and Ronan. Within minutes, all four men enter the office.

“Hawk and his brothers grabbed two of the Russians we’ve been looking for,” Declan says. “They’re working them for information.”

Grady chuckles. “Kind of feel sorry for the two guys having to deal with Hawk, Angel, and Wolf. Some of the scariest lads I’ve ever known.”

I grunt. He’s not wrong. Each one of those men had a fucked up upbringing, and when it comes to hurting the bad guys, they have no conscience. Just the kind of friends I want on my side.

“Where are the girls?” Ronan asks as he pours glasses of whiskey for each of us.

“Patrick took them out for a walk. They were saying something about hunting sharks today,” I tell him.

Kieran grins while Bash, Grady, and Ronan start laughing, and Declan scrubs his hand over his face.

“I swear to God, those two make shit up to give us heart problems. Sharks? We’re on a fucking mountain,” Declan says before taking a deep gulp of his drink.

“The Little lasses are having fun. I love seeing the shit they come up with,” Grady says.

I can’t help but smile because yeah, I love it too. “I’m pretty sure they were shopping for piranhas online today.”

All five men stare at me with shocked yet amused expressions.

“They were having fun. What kind of Daddy would I be if I didn’t let them get into trouble? Need some kind of reason to spank their asses, don’t we?” I shrug.
