MATEO

The road is dotted with cacti, dust spewing out behind our car as we roll through the bumpy terrain along the southern border.

Sonny texts furiously, his brows furrowed. “This isn’t what we agreed on. First she made us wait a day, now this shit. We were supposed to meet at the airport, not out here.”

“Feds never keep their word.” I peer out at the clouds rolling in, the wind blowing dirt against the car like bursts of bird shot. “Let’s just get Red and get out. I wouldn’t want to keep my new wife waiting. She must be missing me terribly.”

He snorts. “Don’t think so. Benny says Lito is all up her ass.”

I sit up. Lito’s home?”

“Yeah. He came in yesterday morning. It’s in the group text.”

“I don’t read that shit.”

He side eyes me. “You should.”

“I get enough bullshit in the fantasy football chat. More than that and I might get violent.” I crack my knuckles. “I wonder what he’s been telling her.”

“Everything. You know Lito. Doesn’t have any idea what the word ‘secret’ even means.”

I groan and rub my forehead. Lito has just complicated shit, par for the course for him. If she’s charmed him—and I know she has, fuck she’s had me chasing my goddamn tail, so she has him wrapped around her finger by now—then he’s going to stick his nose where it doesn’t belong. Into my marriage.

“Head in the game, boss.” Sonny jerks his chin to the rusty trailer ahead of us, several government vehicles pulled up outside of it. “I don’t like it.”

I glance in the rear view at the two SUVs that pulled out of the scrub to follow us in. “It doesn’t matter. We agreed to the meeting.”

We pull to a stop in front of the tattered shack, then step out. Guns are leveled at us immediately, and I have zero doubt there’s at least one sniper with his scope trained on the back of my head.

“Hands up.” Two agents approach slowly, then stow their weapons and pat us down.

“What’s this?” The one running his hands along my front pauses at my waist.

“My dick.”

He runs his hands around it.

“You going to finger my asshole while you’re at it?” I smirk down at him.

He steps back, a scowl on his face. “He’s clean.”

“Same here.” The other agent backs off from Sonny.

The door of the mobile building creaks open.

“Agent Hawk.” Sonny looks up at her. “We’re here as agreed. Where’s Red?”

“Mr. Starnes is inside.” She narrows her eyes on me. “We need to talk.”

I step toward the stairs. The federal officers all tense, some of them even raising their guns again. They’re scared. Pussies.

“Easy.” Agent Hawk holds her hands out. “They’re unarmed. Give it a rest, boys.” Her tone brooks no argument, and her demeanor is the same. She’s not an easy opponent, and from the gray hair and the weathered lines on her face, she’s been in the game for quite some time.

I climb the stairs and follow her into the building right as fat drops of rain begin to fall.
