I was just finishing up a tat when my phone started buzzing on the counter. I ignored it, but it kept buzzing. And buzzing.

Glancing over, I saw Hennessey’s name on the screen.

The fuck?

I rolled away, flipping off the machine, and apologized to my client. Pulling the latex glove off one hand, I swiped across the screen.

“Leahy.”

“Need to get your ass down to Tulane Medical Center.”

I stilled, the blood rushing through my veins morphing into ice water.

“What the hell happened? Who is it?”

“Just get here. But don’t kill yourself on the way. Don’t need them bringing you in a bus, too.”

“Who the fuck is it?”

“One of your boys. Trey Vincent.”

The ice water froze solid.

“How bad?”

“Died once already tonight. They brought him back. Get your ass here.”

I looked down at the customer in my chair and the nearly finished red-tailed hawk I’d spent the past four hours working on.

“On my way.”

I was lowering my phone, about to hang up, when Hennessey added, “And a blonde came in with him. A hot, rich blonde. So damn rich that I’m standing in a wing of the hospital named after her mama. Says your boy saved her from a carjacking.”

What the hell?

“On my fucking way.”

I hung up and snapped off my other latex glove.

I turned to say something to my client, but he held up a hand. “Go, man. Do what you gotta do. I’ll catch up with you later.”

“Thanks,” I mumbled and strode out of the room.

“Gotta go, Delilah. Lock up for me? And don’t charge the client I’m leaving with an unfinished tat.”

“Sure. But what can I do to help?”

“Nothing. Don’t worry about it. I’ll see you next shift.”

I revved my bike and flew out of the alley thirty seconds later. In minutes, I was parking in the ‘Reserved for Clergy’ spot in front of the ER and hauling ass up to the automatic doors.

“I’m not even going to ask how many traffic laws you broke to get here so fucking fast.” Hennessy pushed off the wall he’d been leaning against, and I followed him inside.

“How is he? Where’s his ma?”

“Your boy’s still in surgery. His ma’s up in a private waiting room that Ms. Frost arranged.”

I wanted to demand he tell me everything he knew about what had happened to Vanessa, but he was already suspicious. I didn’t need to heap fuel on the fire. “Is she okay? You said it was a carjacking?”

Hennessy studied me as he replied, “She’s a little scraped and a lot shaken up. Pretty much what you’d expect from someone who was carjacked and witnessed a shooting. Although, I have to say, she’s holding it together well. Don’t even think she needed stitches.”

The thought of someone threatening her… Fuck. My hands balled into white-knuckled fists. When he didn’t elaborate further, I tried to make my question sound casually concerned. “Why would she have needed stitches?”

“Cut her knee on some broken glass when she ran from the shooter. Said she dove when he popped off a couple rounds at her.
