My gut tightened. So did my jaw. “For a few days.”

“That’s good.” He glanced over, giving me a sad smile. “That it was only for a few days.”

“I shot him.”

He nodded, that smile turning grave. “I heard.”

“Yeah.”

We drove in silence after that. Somehow the need to fill the space wasn’t there anymore and it was another two hours before I spoke up.

“Are you the boyfriend kind of guy or having fun type of guy?”

Cavers started laughing, the sound ripping through the cab. The entire mood lifted and once his laughter faded, he said, “I’m both, and when I start seeing someone serious, you’re the first one I want him to meet.”

“Good.” Then, “Raize knew?”

He nodded. “He saw a guy checking me out at a gas station. The only thing he said was that if I fuck someone, to keep my mouth shut about all of us and no relationships. Jake broke that rule.”

Yeah. Jake was the one to break that rule.

“He really likes her, you know.”

“Who?” The words were out before I caught myself. I knew who he was talking about the second I asked. I flushed. “I know.”

“That’s going to be a problem.”

Another nod from me, and this one felt heavier than the last. “I know.”

“Raize finds out, he’ll go back and kill her.”

I looked at him.

He was watching me, but turned back to the road ahead. “She ain’t you. Don’t know a lot of females who could get where you are. Jake either has to disappear or she will.”

Yeah...

“Jake doesn’t love her, but he likes her and that’s the problem. His situation is an all or nothing sort of situation, but he ain’t treating it like that. He’s not thinking right. He doesn’t believe Raize will go back and kill her. He thinks she’s in the clear, but it takes one time, one moment when she gets curious.”

Each word he said was making me shrink into my seat. Further and further until I felt so small.

“I know, Cave.”

“He got mad at me for almost shooting Raize and I got it. I understood it. This world, Raize is keeping us alive. We go anywhere else and we’re disposable. Just another guard with a gun. Raize treats us differently and Jake and I both know it’s because of you. You changed the game. You and him. I don’t want Jake fucking that up.”

“We’ll handle it. Somehow.”

He glanced over, holding my gaze, and I knew he was thinking we wouldn’t.

We rode in silence after that.

Raize

Only I went into Mexico.

I had the others stay behind. I couldn’t risk Ash coming with me. She’d attract attention. Even though she hadn’t changed her hair color back to blonde, there was an air to her that guys liked. She gave off class, elegance, but also a toughness and mystery. It was the mystery that drew guys to her. Jake and Cavers both gravitated toward her since the beginning, and it became even stronger after she stood against me to save Jake’s life. They were loyal to me, but they were more loyal to her. And me traveling with the entire group would draw even more attention.

I kept with the lone wolf scenario, but as soon as I was past customs, I made a call.

A day later, a guy walked into a cantina and he swept the room.

Seeing me, he stepped back outside.

I followed him.

He was waiting, but we didn’t talk.

I passed him, making my way to the motel and once inside, he stepped through the door.

The door was closed.

The light switched on and I held up my hand.

Abram shook his head, but smirked. His hand fit mine and we drew together, clasping each other on the back. Stepping back, he rolled his eyes, readjusting his baseball cap. “Estas loco hombre.”

I nodded. I was. But we had business to handle.

“I didn’t know if you’d pick up my call.”

Abram gave me a long and hard look before sitting down at the table. He stretched his legs out, putting his gun on the table. He was still giving me that look.

I didn’t move.

He shook his head again. “I considered not, because if I answer and don’t report your call, you know it could go.”

I still waited. I knew Abram. He had something to say, he’d say it. He’d just take forever saying it.

He glanced away, moving the curtain and glancing outside before letting it fall back in place. “Seriously, brother. Marco is out of control.”

There it was. That’s the real reason he took my call.

I got comfortable, leaning against the wall. “Where’s my sister?”

“He’s got her at his place in Guaymas.”

“He’s got one detail on her?”

A nod from him. “Four guys, plus the usual security team at his place, but that’s his tourist place. He doesn’t think anyone will touch it.”

That was good, real good.

Abram added, “He’s not expecting this.”
