“Dash, what the fuck?”
“I saw you crashed. Thought I’d come to the rescue.”
“If you were here, why didn’t you just say so?”
“And what would be the fun in that? I brought someone I know you’ll be excited to see.”
He opened the back door and Fox stepped out, doing a little two-step as he grinned at me. “The cavalry has arrived!”
“Just shoot them,” I said to Sky.
“Isn’t he on our side?”
“Yeah, but I don’t like him very much right now.”
“That’s no reason to shoot him,” she hissed.
“Fine, I’ll give you a hundred bucks if you take him down the way you did with that other guy. Two hundred if you nail him in the balls.”
“I think that hit might have done some serious damage to your brain.”
“Nope,” I sighed, “this is the one thing I’m thinking clearly on.”

JACK
I stood in the kitchen,squeezing my hands to ward off the underlying itch. Johnny had been gone for an hour, and any longer, I was going to lose my fucking mind.
“What I want to know is why you were there with Baz, interrogating Jack,” Jason spat.
They’d been going at this for twenty minutes now. I wanted the same answers, but I was in no state to listen to any of it.
“I was trying to get inside with Baz,” Rafe snapped. “I was doing what Jack couldn’t accomplish.”
“Oh, so now you’re blaming him?” Jason shouted. “He did everything you asked of him.”
“And he failed!”
“Shut up!” I shouted, turning to all of them. “It doesn’t fucking matter why he was there. It’s done!”
“How can you say that?” Jason asked, getting off his stool and walking over to me. “Look at you. You’re a fucking mess, and he had a hand in that.”
“I kept Baz from beating the shit out of him,” Rafe said. “Think what you want of my methods. I knew he’d been on drugs already. Iknew he could fight that off. But getting beaten to death and then shot when Baz lost his shit was not acceptable!”
I pressed my hands to the sides of my head, trying to stop the pounding. “This is not what we need to focus on right now,” I said after taking a deep breath. “We need a plan to get Parker back.”
Jason tossed a glare at Rafe, then calmed his shit. “We have a plan. As soon as Johnny gets back, we’re moving out.”
“Where the fuck did he go?” Rafe asked. “Did he not understand that this is an urgent situation?”
With only a single look from Jason, it was clear he knew the situation.
“He knows how dire things are. He’ll be back soon.”
“What about Rae and Sky?” I asked, switching topics to take the heat off myself.
“Rae called while you were out. She got Skylar out. They’re safe.”
