“What if they see us?” Mariah hissed, peeking from behind the headrest of my seat.

Jax and I were in the front, slunk low, with ball caps and sunglasses on. We were in the parking lot next door to the hotel where we’d stayed last night, having left as early as we could once Sofia was up and fed.

She was in her car seat now, and we were ready to make a quick getaway if necessary, but we needed to wait and see if our plan had worked.

“These thugs aren’t the brightest, even if they’re deadly,” Jax said with a smirk. “I doubt they suspect we’re pulling one over on them.”

My eyes remained locked on the hotel's entrance. Jax tapped his fingers on his thigh, while Mariah was worried enough for all of us. Her knee bounced as she chewed on her bottom lip.

I reached behind and caught her hand. “It’s okay. We just need to make sure they took the bait, and then we’ll be on the way.”

We didn’t have to wait much longer to find out.

“There.” Jax leaned forward. “Three of them.”

“Are you sure?” I followed his stare. Three burly men in black suits were climbing out of a black SUV right in front of the hotel's sliding doors.

“Those are definitely my father’s men.”

I grinned. “It worked.”

After Jax sent out his fake sighting of Mariah last night, we hadn’t been sure it would, but it looked like our plan was right on track. Our attention remained on the hotel while the thugs disappeared inside, their grim expressions evident even from our vantage point. Adrenaline surged, my dragon itching to break free and confront the enemy head-on, but that wasn't an option. It was time to put some distance between ourselves and Hawthorne’s goons.

“Let's get out of here.” I cranked the engine. Jax nodded in agreement, with Mariah sighing and sinking back into her seat, the relief clear on her face.

“Now we just need to make sure Tomas is left chasing shadows.” Jax chuckled, flipping open his laptop as we pulled away from the hotel, leaving Tomas’s men to realize they’d been had.

Last night, Jax hacked into the hotel’s security system, putting all the cameras on our floor and in the stairwell on a loop. The actual footage of us leaving the hotel earlier had been replaced, meaning there’d be no evidence we’d been here.

“And that’s how you do it,” he said with a satisfied smirk. “I switched the feed back, and now I can take the real footage of us leaving and loop it into the security system of any other hotel we want.”

I had to laugh. “It’s a little scary what you’re capable of. Let’s just say I’m glad you’re on our side.”

“Now to throw them even farther off the trail…” Jax's fingers flew over the laptop keyboard, his eyes narrowed in concentration as he worked his magic on the next hotel's security system.

“I’m going to call Lucas and give him an update.” I tapped his name on the dash, and the sound of a phone ringing came through the speakers.
