“My girls,” I snapped, and Gage laughed.
“Gotta share those babies, Mike, they belong to all of us.”
“Gonna share yours?”
“Yup, you can have them while I go out and do manly work,” Gage taunted. Jude snorted as my fist shot out and Gage’s head rocked.
“Fucker,” Gage said, working his jaw as I grinned.
“Don’t push him,” Jude warned as he cocked his head for me to follow. We headed into the small room I thought would do as his office, although it needed organising to become one.
“You heard of trafficking in this area?” he asked.
I paused. Dynamo’s secrets were her own, but this was Jude asking.
“Up front and personal, no. Not heard of anyone going missing. But the local MC recovered two women.”
“An MC?” Jude’s eyebrow lifted.
“Yeah. They’re a mixed-gender one. Their road captain is female and was taken for two months. The Royal Bastards got her back, but then another woman linked to them was trafficked. They found her after she’d been held for six months.”
“I’ve no cop reports for this,” Jude said, frowning.
“It’s an MC, captain. They dealt with it internally,” I replied.
“They friendly?”
“No. They do a lot for the community and will defend their town, but they won’t sit down for a chitchat.”
“Afraid they’re going to have to. They have info we need,” Jude stated. “It’ll suck when we hack the fuckers.”
“They have Cipher.”
Jude drew a deep breath. “You broke in?”
Now I arrogantly lifted an eyebrow. Jude snorted in amusement again. “You got in. Cipher aware who hacked him?”
“Nope, and Cipher’s trying to track me. He’s improved a lot. But I can shut him down.”
“I bet he’s pissed. We need any info they have,” Jude said.
“I got everything they had, which amounts to shit. The Royal Bastards don’t put things on paper.”
“Showing your age, Mike,” Jude teased, and I nodded. He wasn’t wrong, but I was still the best in the world for now.
“Put together a file on all of them. I want the details, their deepest secrets,” Jude ordered. “Especially this road captain, what’s her name?”
“Dynamo.”
Jude tilted his head. Shit, I thought I’d kept my voice steady. “You’ve met her.” His eyes narrowed on me.
“Yeah,” I tried being nonchalant, but Jude’s focus was razor sharp.
“This Dynamo means something to you.”
“She’s someone who went through a horrific experience.”
“Don’t bullshit me, commander,” Jude snapped. “I know you, brother. She captured your attention.”
