Chapter Thirteen

With one smooth movement, I leapt straight up and landed on Aiden’s shoulder.

He sighed. “This is a six-thousand-dollar suit. Your nails will snag the cashmere.”

Wrapping around his neck, I nibbled on his chin. “A bit persnickety, are we?”

“I have an image to uphold.”

“Playboy wolf?” I sniped.

“A wealthy businessman who has the power to destroy his enemies.” Aiden bared his teeth in a savage smile as he walked up to the police officers.

An overweight detective wearing a cheap suit eyed Aiden like he was a murderous gigolo. “I’m Detective Evans from Marana Police Department and I have a warrant to search your compound.”

“Show me.” Aiden held out an imperious hand.

The fat detective dropped the warrant on the ground. “Ooops.”

What a rude bastard. I studied his aura and through my mental link with Aiden advised, “He’s a dirty cop.”

“I’m not surprised. The first chance you get, take the warrant.”

I mentally rubbed my hands together. “My pleasure. No warrant. No search.”

“Until they get another copy,” Aiden growled.

Billy Bob pushed his way through the officers. “We’re going to tear this place apart until I find Tammy Sue. Tell me where she is Blackheart, before it’s too late. I know you forced Tammy’s car off the road and took her. She never loved you. Never will. If she dies, you’re one dead dog.”

Now I knew how the liar got the police involved. I jumped down, picked up the warrant and ran off with the paper protruding from my jaws. We were about to make Billy Bob’s life a living hell.

“Hey! You can’t take that!” Billy Bob pulled a gun and fired off a shot.

A bullet whizzed by my head. Good thing he was a piss-poor shot. I took cover behind a planter and took a quick peek.

Aiden side-stepped the detective’s attempt to block him and knocked the gun out of Billy Bob’s hand. “That was a mistake.”

A laugh like a drunken hyena broke from Billy Bob. “Mistake? You’re nothing more than an overgrown Chihuahua who thinks he can play with the big boys. I’m getting that warrant back even if I have to kill the bunny to do it.”

Aiden punched Billy Bob right in the kisser. His head snapped back and down he went. Someone was going to be eating through a straw. “No one hurts the bunny. No one.”

Detective Evans took one look at Aiden’s livid expression and hollered, “Someone catch that damn rabbit. I think it’s their dinner.”

Dinner? Seriously? His officers ran toward me. I darted this way and that; dodging all their attempts to grab me and the warrant.

“Go to the left Luna,” a voice called.

Making like a bunny, I hopped to the left.

A cop tripped over his own feet and did a face plant in a hedgehog cactus.

Ouch! That had to hurt.

Another officer lunged for me.

I jumped up. As he slid under me, I bounced off his back and bolted between the legs of another cop.

“Buy us some time, Tammy,” Aiden ordered. “I’m on the phone with Tucson’s Chief of Police.
