An hour later, West took Annie and Mack with him to the jail. Zane, King, and Nox headed over to the fallout shelter to do some recon, while Storm worked on an unspecified “side project.”

West didn’t question him about it because it would only make West worry. Storm had a serious disregard for rules. While he never broke the law, he bent it out of shape to suit his own purposes.

And West didn’t like having a chaperone with them, but they needed Mack’s input. He wanted to have a follow up to their conversation last night. Actually, he just craved alone time with her. If nothing else, he’d love to flirt with Annie and get to know her better.

Annie didn’t say much on the ride over, but Mack filled the silence, speculating about John Doe and how he’d recruited the thieves.

West wondered if he should be concerned about her enthusiasm. Her face lit up when she spoke about Doe, as though he weren’t merely a target. Did she find him intriguing? As soon as he’d had the thought, he discarded it. Maybe she was just enjoying her job, and he was reading too much into it.

Before showing up at the jail, West gave Huck a phone call and cleared their visit. According to the sheriff, all three of the robbers had priors, but it was minor stuff like disorderly conduct.

The jail only had two cells, and all three robbers were crowded into one, and the other was empty. The thieves stood when they walked in the room.

“You’re the bastard who put us in here,” one of them said, pointing at West. He stood in front of the other two, and West figured he must be the ring leader. Superman, if I’m not mistaken. He gestured to the others, and they reluctantly sat back down.

“Actually,” West said, “Your piss poor plannin’ landed you behind bars. What’s your name, son?”

Both Annie and Mack frowned at his tactics, but West ignored them. He hadn’t gotten much sleep, had a terminal case of blue balls, and a burning desire to fill his bank account.

This piss ant wouldn’t stand in his way for long.

He crossed his arms over his chest. “Ain’t your son. I’m a full-grown man.” He said this seriously, even though he was barely nineteen and covered in pimples.

“Then act like it. Tell me your fuckin’ name.”

“Peter Jacobs. And what’s yours?”

“Jackson West, Peter. Pleased to meet you. At the risk of being rude, I’ll get straight to the point. I’m in the middle of an operation, and I need some intel from you.”

“What kind of intelligence?” Peter asked, lifting his chin.

“Who put you up to it?” Mack asked, stepping forward.

He shrugged. “Who said we did anythin’?”

West gritted his teeth. “Hey, genius, we’re the ones who apprehended you. Besides, you were caught on security cameras, and eyewitness testimony puts you at the scene. There’s no point in denyin’ what you did.”

“Fine,” Peter snapped. “We decided to rob the bank. Nobody put us up to it.
