Lighting my cigarette, Jax slides the door open and joins me and Grayson.

“They don’t know anything, boss. They don’t want to go back to Russia, though.” He shakes his head, making his dark curls bounce.

“When in the hell did you learn to speak Russian?” Grayson asks.

“My dad was Russian.”

“I’ve never heard of a Russian with the last name of Carter,” I say, exhaling smoke.

“Carter isn’t my real last name,” he replies, sparking up a joint he pulled from his pocket. “After dad died, my step-dad tried to get me to change it to be the same as his. Over my fucking dead body was that happening, so I changed it to my mom’s last name instead.”

“How did he die?” I ask, remembering the way Jax tenses up at any mention of his father.

He takes a long inhale. His scruffy jaw clicks as he puffs out a series of concentric smoke rings before he answers. “That’s a story for another day.”

I don’t want to press him. I need his head in the zone. He is doing well in his new role with me. He’ll tell me when he needs to.

Hearing the sweet sound of Zara laughing drags my attention away from Jax. I look inside and spot her chatting to Maddie and Sienna with a bright smile. Maddie’s blonde pony tail bobs as she talks animatedly and I dread to think what she’s saying about me. I shouldn’t worry, she’s one of the few people who sees the good in everyone, including what little there is in me.

“Has he got any updates on Romano?” Grayson asks beside me.

My patience is wearing thin, waiting for answers. “No. For now, we wait. We take care of the girls first, then we may have to work on a plan to draw him out before this escalates any further.”

“Where is Kai?” I ask. I rarely see one without the other.

Jax drops his butt on the ground and grinds it out with the toe of his heavy boot. “He has some family shit going on. He’s still on for our first run to Vegas tonight, don’t worry.”

I nod, taking another drag. We are sending over the two girls we still have, so Mikhail can protect them.

“Jax, go in there and help the girls figure out the paperwork. Then you can head home.”

He grins and turns to his reflection in the window, where he adjusts his curly hair, giving it a tousled look.

“Don’t forget we have training in two hours, Jax!” Grayson calls out.

“I know, I know!” He waves him off, sliding the door shut behind him.

“You think he’s going to win?” I turn to Grayson.

“It’s not so much the winning, it will be stopping him from killing his opponent we have to watch out for.” Grayson rubs the back of his neck.

“That temper needs fixing.”

“I’d say so. Kai is the only one who can get through to him. I’m working on it. I think him working with the Russians will help keep him busy and out of trouble.
