She waved me off and tucked the sheet around her chest.
“What the hell did you say to her, Z?”
“Why is she answering your phone? And why did it take three tries, for fuck’s sake?”
My eyebrows headed for the sky. Zane hardly ever got annoyed. “I had it on silent from last night.”
“Is there a reason you needed it on vibrate?”
“Is there a reason you’re asking?”
My shoulders tightened as Teagan turned on her heel and headed for the bathroom. Christ, I didn’t know what to say. We hadn’t had the whole ‘who are we telling’ conversation. Not that we’d been especially careful at the club last night.
The door slammed.
Shit.
“We can talk about the fact that you two are boning later.”
“Dude.”
“You didn’t say no. I have bigger problems. I need you to come get me and bring your checkbook.”
“Excuse me?”
“I don’t think they take credit cards or Apple Pay.”
“Who doesn’t?”
“Brooklyn PD.”
“Say what now?”
“I tried to call Oz, but he hung up on me. Said he was busy.”
I rubbed my hand along the back of my neck. “Did you tell him what it was about?”
“He didn’t give a shit, he was naked.”
I was too, but it didn’t seem prudent to own up to that right then. “I thought you were only supposed to get one phone call?”
Zane sighed. “I may have sweet-talked the chick who did my fingerprints. Fingerprints, fucking hell.”
I couldn’t remember the last time I’d heard Zane so keyed up. He was the one we went to for Zen.
“Okay, calm down.”
“I’m in fucking jail. And I can’t—the night is a blur, man. I can’t calm down. I just gotta get out of here. My head is fucking splitting. I had two freaking drinks. I don’t understand how this could happen.”
“Okay, okay. We’ll figure it out.”
Zane’s voice lowered to a whisper. “I officially have a goddamn jacket. Lila is gonna kill me. Don’t tell her, man. I just need you to get me out of here.”
Zane really had to stop watching crime shows on Netflix. Jacket? Christ. And the mere fact that he didn’t think Lila Crandall, knower of all things, wasn’t going to figure this out showed just how screwed he was.
“Right. I’ll be right there.”
“Thanks, man. Don’t tell Teagan, okay? I don’t want her to think I’m an asshole.”
