“What for?”
Jesus Christ, talk about a dog with a bone. She wasn’t going to give up so easily.
“I need you here to coordinate things if something goes wrong. What if I need someone to call for help, and we’re all together? How is that going to work?”
Her lips thinned, and I clenched my fists to my sides. That disapproving expression made me want to wrap my hands around her throat. But I wasn’t a man who was violent toward women—at least I hadn’t been until I’d met Jolie, and that violence had been necessary.
But she exhaled a sigh, and her shoulders dropped. “Fine, if that’s what needs to be done. If you let down your guard and start to trust that little bitch, and it messes this whole thing up, don’t think for a minute that I won’t say I told you so.”
I could keep Jolie under control. Or at least I hoped I could.
“Good. I’m glad we’re agreed. And once this is all over, you can say whatever the hell you like.”
I figured it would hardly matter then. I’d be behind bars, Patrick Dorman would be dead, and Jolie would be... Fuck. I didn’t know what Jolie would be doing. I guessed I’d let her go, and she’d go back to living her life. I’d have to make sure she didn’t go down as being an accomplice, and while I’d always planned for Loretta to get through all of this without being affected, after her recent stunt, I was no longer so sure.
