“Of course, babe. Now wipe those tears away. We have a meeting with Detective Tate.”
“Thank you so much, Jo. I don’t know what I would do without you.”
“Lead a boring life.” She winks. “We were meant to be, babe. It's written in the stars.”
“Hurry up! I’m starving down here.” Zin says. “Fucking women, always taking their damn time.”
“Can I stab him?” Jo says, with a seriously pissed off face.
“Let me get back to you on that one. We are outnumbered.” I say, trying to ease up the tension.
“Oh, please, babe. I think they might even help.” She chuckles.
“We better hurry up.” I walk towards the door.
"Why, because he says?” She asks.
“No, because if we hold up Stone, we might both end up getting stabbed.” I say.
“Naw, if anything he will stab you with his dick while I stab Zin.” We both pause. Then burst out laughing as we walk down the stairs.
Walking into the kitchen, I see all the guys sitting around the table surrounded by food.
“Well, don’t just stand there.” Zin says, with an annoyed expression.
“Babygirl, you can sit by me,” Stone winks.
I walk over and take my seat, locking eyes with Jo as she goes to do the same. She gives me a huge grin and I know she is about to do something. Oh shit! Don’t stab him, Jo. Zin goes to take a bite of his banana and Jo pretends to reach over to grab a plate and places her hand on the back of his head, pushing his mouth down on the banana, causing him to gag.
“What the fuck!” He growls.
“With that bullshit that you always seem to have pouring out of your mouth, I figured for once you could use help with shoving it back in.” She grins, as we all burst out with laughter. After breakfast, Jo and I head upstairs so I can get ready to meet with the detective.
Chapter Twenty-Five
ALUXIS
After breakfast, I go upstairs and dressed for the meeting with Detective Tate. Turning the corner, I head for the living room, where everyone is hanging out.
“Ready to go, babe?” Jo asks as she stands up from the chair she was sitting on.
“Yup. All good.” I smile at her.
“Where do you think you’re going?” Cade asks, and I roll my eyes.
“I have a meeting with the detective in charge of my parent’s case.” I state.
“How did you get this meeting?” Atticus asks with creased eyebrows.
“I set it up. Why does that even matter to any of you?” Jo says, placing her hands on her hips.
“So we know the little harlot is safe.” Harlan says with a sinister smile, turning to wink at me.
“Let’s go.” I say, as I walk towards the front door.
“Wait. How are you getting there?” Cade asks, stopping me in my tracks.
“We are taking an Aviva rideshare.” Jo responds.
