And I’d hate to think what favor he’d seek from us when the time came.
ILSA
Snatching the paper from Ray, I unfolded and studied it. This address wasn’t marked on the map I had made, so whoever this was, he obviously kept himself below the radar.
“We need to be armed,” Ray said, glancing back at the club.
“We can’t kill him, Ray.”
“No.” She made a face, somewhere between a pout and a sneer. “I know, but we at least need to scare or fuck him up a bit. Then you can hand him over to your precious cops.”
“Under what charge?”
“I have no idea. That’s not my problem.”
“It kind ofisyour problem.”
“Whatever! We’ll sort it out later.” She scoffed as she was on edge. The exchange with Emrick had hardly been pleasant, but it seemed odd it had thrown her so much.
“Wing it again, you mean?” I asked.
“Sure, it’s got us this far.”
Stopping, I grabbed her arms and spun her to face me. “Is this really how you function? Just making shit up as you go along?”
She shrugged. “Well, yeah.”
“Unbelievable.”
“It’s worked so far, hasn’t it?”
Humorless laughter escaped me. “Oh, yeah! Really! Well… you’ve been shot, I’ve been jumped, and a man almost died. It’s working a treat.”
“Almostdied, Ilsa. Key word.”
Rolling my eyes, noticing she had glazed over the whole being shot thing, I turned and glanced down the street. She was right about one thing though, we’d need to be armed when we went to find this man. But we couldn’t go in there guns blazing since that’s how Ray had gotten into trouble in the first place.
“Well…” she started walking again, “… I’m going to go check it out. You can either come or not.”
“Fine,” I hissed through a murmur. “But don’t blame me if everything turns to shit.”
“I wouldn’t dream of it.” She giggled then, back to the Ray I knew.
“At least let me get some knives from home.”
“I thought you didn’t want to kill him?”
“I didn’t say I was going to, I just don’t want to go in there naked.”
“Might distract him, though, if you were naked. I know it would distract me.”
My mind flooded with the feeling of her on me, the flurry of her hands and teeth as she lost control.
“We don’t need another incident like before,” I said.
“I’ll be good.” She batted her eyelashes at me, and I huffed out an unamused breath through my nose.
“Yeah, right.” I wasn’t convinced.
