“And Brooke?” Shepard asks
“I forgot for a moment that I promised to pick Brooke up from work I only remembered as I drove past the restaurant So I went back for her I could have asked so there for God only kno long I didn't have time to take her home Look,” Nova shifts in her seat “It is what it is They were both fine waiting in the car, which I parked in the shadows so it couldn't be seen I had Click's house watched until I arrived” Because the girl has spies everywhere “I would have been infor in the shadows No one would have gotten close totaken out”
“So that ht, does it?!”
“Calrowls at Jett
This is getting us nowhere! The point won't be driven hoht Even though I could throttle her, Brooke is safe Alison and Teddy are safe and away froh
We have s to deal with now than what Nova did Things likefor trouble We knoe're going to have a fight on our hands with Click He'll want his daughter back He'll want revenge for Teddy goingHe knoho the kid's father is, so this is the first place he'll look We need our minds on what's to come, not what's past
“I did what I did because I a for her children Just as everyher son back before soave her that help”
Shepard narrows his eyes when Nova gets out of her seat, and reaches into her inside jacket pocket She throws a plastic box on the table “One less thing for you to worry about”
Jett takes the box and opens it No one can see what's inside, but from the look on Jett's face, it's not a cupcake “What the hell did you do?”
The boxus all the opportunity to see the contents It reaches me, and I look inside Eyeballs Teeth President's patch Tattooed skin, baring the Dirty Coyotes logo She killed Click!
“I took out the proble away the mess There won't be any evidence left behind”
“You destroyed hiusted or awed by his daughter right now
Nova shrugs
“What about Alison's mother? She was an innocent, Nova”
“Click, and Teddy were the only ones in that house, Kong Both were asleep Click was dead before he had the chance to open his eyes Before I grabbed Teddy, I checked the house for signs of anyone else There were none, Kong”
The poor woman is probably already dead
“You have all you need to confront the Coyotes They'll be vulnerable right noith their Prez gone Do with it what you will I' home to my babies I'll see you there later, Tank I love you”
“I love you, too”
Once Nova is out the door, Shepard tells us, “Who needs guns and aot weapon Nova?” I' “If I know , so I know this won't coure out what to do about the Coyotes now that Click is out of the picture”
“Maybe we should call Trigger and invite him to come in and talk”
Coyotes VP, Trigger, may just be as bad as Click Those assholes have no er here will not end the way Jett thinks it will
“Red, BlackJack, stay behind, I need a quick word The rest of you, go hoet some rest We'll deal with this tomorrow Be back here for 8: AM, I want this shit deal with ASAP Kong, make sure your family is out of the way toliive them any more of a reason to start a war”
“Prez,”
The gavel crashes down on the oak table, and I can't get out of there fast enough
I watch Brooke co it She hasn't spoken a word since we left the clubhouse When I told her that ht, she nodded, yet said nothing I had thought she'd decline the offer and want to collect him So when she didn't, I was a little shocked
As soon as we got ho a couple of minutes I'm aBrooke cli but panties and a cami top
Brooke leans her head back against the headboard and stares at , she straddles er I didn't know she possessed
