“Screw your parents,” Imani said, brows furrowed. “They’ve done nothing but hurt you. Do you remember that they kicked your ass because of something that I did? Do you remember that they have done nothing but stress you the fuck out and do shady shit around town?”
After swallowing hard, Akio finally looked me in the eye. “Fine.”
“Fine?”
“I’ll do it. I’ll work with you guys. I want them gone. All of them.”
My lips curled into a smirk, and I glanced over at Imani, who was also smiling. He might’ve been the guy we beat up to get what we wanted and needed for Ana and for information, but now, he was working with us.
We had the same goal.
João growled and rolled his eyes, heading back to spend time with Ana. Landon disappeared into the back room with him. But I stayed with Imani and Akio, and Imani moved closer to him.
“You know …” Imani said, grinning from ear to ear at Akio, slyness in her eyes. “I hung out with Nicole today for a girls’ day. Allie brought her over to my house, and we talked about the boys we like.”
“What’d she say?” Akio asked, moving closer to us.
“That she had this crush on this kid.”
Suddenly, Akio’s relatively soft expression hardened. “Who?”
Imani grinned even more wickedly. “I don’t know.”
“Imani,” Akio growled. “Who?”
She pinched his flushed cheek. “Look at you, getting all possessive. I didn’t think Kai was telling me the truth when he said that you kidnapped that police officer for Nicole. You really like her, huh?”
Akio cut his glare to me. “You told her?”
“She saw you take the police car,” I said to him. “What’d you do to him? Draw some blood?”
Instead of answering me, Akio pulled his keys from his pocket and walked back toward the front door. “I’ll see you in school on Monday,” Akio mumbled, then walked out of Landon’s house. No doubt on his way to go find Nicole.
