Chapter Ten

Alexis took a deep breath and knocked on the door of the ramshackle house, Blake’s instructions and tips on staying safe running through her head. The house looked like she’d expected: run-down and creepy. Exactly the type of place she would assume Damian and the Inca Boyz lived in. The sooner she got this party out of the way, the sooner she could get Blake Anderson in her bed. He was her reward for getting through one more excruciating experience; at least that’s how she was looking at it.

She and Blake had killed time that afternoon, getting ice cream and walking around downtown Denver, holding hands and sharing light romantic kisses. She’d learned a lot about him. He liked to read nonfiction books, mostly about military ships, and he hated green vegetables. She’d listed as many as she could think of, asking individually if he liked them. Asparagus, green beans, peas, broccoli, brussels sprouts, spinach, okra, kale, lima beans. He’d just laughed and told her no after each one. It was so . . . weird . . . it was cute.

She, in turn, told him things not many people, other than her family, knew about her. That while she loved the color pink, she wouldn’t wear it. Also, that she was fascinated by anything that had to do with the Titanic and that she dreamed of someday going down in a submersible to the resting place of the infamous ship.

After their stroll, they’d met Logan back at her apartment, and he’d repeated many of the same things Blake had told her about being safe and what to be on the lookout for regarding the party atmosphere turning dangerous. They also discussed what the end goal was for the night: namely to gather as much intel as possible. The bottom line was that Alexis should mostly listen to find out how many jobs the gang had done, for whom and how they were contacted, and if the opportunity presented itself, which they all knew it would, to freely offer up money for whatever scheme they tried to trick her into.

She had two thousand dollars in various denominations in her purse, and another four hundred tucked into her back pocket . . . just in case. She’d kept on the skinny jeans she’d been wearing earlier. There was no way she was going to wear a skirt; it gave way too easy access to parts of her that she wanted to keep to herself, and Chuck had made his intentions abundantly clear at the bar. She had changed into a sequined spaghetti-strap top, and was wearing the wire tucked firmly between her breasts and the camera pendant around her neck.

Even though Blake and Logan were backing her up, and right outside the house, Alexis was still scared out of her mind.

Kelly opened the door with a jerk, startling Alexis. She didn’t look pleased as she jutted out a hip and declared snidely, “You’re early.”

Alexis might’ve been early, but Kelly was obviously dressed and ready to party.
