Tabby let out a moan of sheer physical pleasure beneath me. Her body tensed with it.

“Stop doing that,” I said. “You’re defeating the whole purpose of this, and it isn’t exactly comfortable for me.”

She paused, and then deliberately relaxed. “Good. Now stop moving so much and let me work.”

Since we couldn’t just leave and try our luck outside until I healed up some, we were stuck in the house. Tabby, as it turned out, had been suffering from overwork and shitty sleeping conditions for weeks. Every muscle in her body was a tense, knotted mess in need of some TLC. I was drafted into giving her a deep tissue massage.

My hands were up to the task; it didn’t require a ton of energy to work out the knots. But I had to be constantly mindful of my injuries. Even cautious movement hurt and pulled at the stitches. By Tabby’s count, I had more than thirty distinct and separate wounds. I figured I owed her at least a full minute of careful tending for each of them.

“So what’s our next move?” Tabby asked in a deeply relaxed voice as I dug a thumb into a twist of muscles in her upper back. “How do we get away?”

I worked for a few seconds as I thought about how to frame my answer. “I need a few days to get my strength back, for starters.”

Tabby’s head, already resting sideways, tilted even further toward me. She looked at me with one eye, eyebrow raised. “Won’t they leave? Your friends, I mean. You already got captured. Figured they’d go home for reinforcements.”

“Oh, I’d be shocked if they went further than a few miles from here,” I said. “They’re not going to give up until I’m back with them or they have proof I’m dead. And anyway, I’m not so sure going back to Haven is first on my list of things to do.”

Tabby frowned. “That sounds ominous.”

I chuckled. “I need to know everything about the Sons you can tell me. It was pretty clear Tony wasn’t in charge of the ones holed up back there. I want to know their chain of command all the way up to the top guy.”

“I’ll tell you what I’ve overheard, but it’s not gonna be much,” Tabby warned. “I know the guy in charge of our camp wasn’t one of Tony’s guys. He was a biker. One of the original Sons. Everyone called him Smoke. One of those club nicknames, I guess. Past that I got nothin’.”

“That’s enough to work with,” I said, continuing my ceaseless, methodical work down Tabby’s back. “The reason they call it a chain of command is because one link always leads to another. I need to gather information. Data, data, data. I can’t make bricks without clay.”

Tabby’s body shuddered beneath me, and it took a second to realize she was laughing. “What?”

“I can’t believe you just quoted Sherlock Holmes while talking about investigating a bunch of murderous assholes,” she said with a snort. “Are you a detective?”

Again, caution was advised.
