“I need information on a woman.”
“Oh, is she hot? Are you two dating?”
Why are we gossipier than women? “No. But a friend of mine is considering dating her. I want to make sure she won’t hurt him.”
“Aww. That’s sweet. I didn’t know bikers were so thoughtful.”
Would it be wrong to hit the kid? I’d have to find him…probably on Vincenti turf. And Havoc did ask me not to get myself killed. “Can you do it?”
“Sure. But it’ll cost you.”
Of course. Nothing in life is free. “How much do you want?”
“I want you to teach me how to be cool like you.”
What? “Don’t you want to be like your brother or one of your uncles?”
“Yeah, but they’re scary, and eventually I want to be a little scary. But I’m sick of all the girls seeing me as a nerd. I want to be cool like you.”
If he only knew how badly I’m striking out at the moment. “Deal.”
“Name?”
“Lola Felds.”
“I can’t help you.”
What? “Why? We had a deal.”
“You want info on her, you need to talk to Maddox. I’m not getting involved.”
The phone clicks off.
The kid hung up on me.
Like hung up on me when we had a deal.
What is with people today?
My phone chimes.
It’s her.
She wrote me back.

Your message made me giggle.
Finally

Agrin spreads across my face at the open, honest answer.

Sorry I didn’t answer earlier. I was kidnapped.
