Here. Where r u?

“Shit,” Roni muttered, and turned toward him, ducking her head.

“What?” Aiden glanced over her head and his gaze snagged on a tableau he did not like.

Madison stood on the edge of the roped-off players’ area with a blond man he recognized. She looked—fantastic. Her uniform consisted of a bright pink tank top in some sports fabric with a pinup girl and the words DEADLY DAME arcing over her breasts, a short, pleated black skirt, and fishnet stockings. Her hair was braided into pigtails and her makeup was dark and dramatic.

Aiden watched the detective place his hand on Madison’s back and lean toward her. Her smile widened, but it was stiff and she cringed when he spoke next to her ear. Aiden wanted to punch the prick’s teeth out. Officer of the law? Twisting her arm? Hitting on her? Harassing her in public?

Fuck this.

“Aiden, don’t go over there.” Roni spoke too late.

Aiden stepped through the crowd and over the caution tape into the crash zone. It was the fastest way to get to her. The derby girls zipped by, some coming within inches of him, but he never wavered from his target. Madison’s gaze darted around nervously, as if looking for an out.

Well he’d give her one.

Her gaze landed on him and her brows rose.

“Hey, babe. Was looking for you.” Aiden pitched his voice over the music and noise from the crowd. The detective straightened and frowned at Aiden when he moved in and draped his arm across Madison’s shoulders. “Not answering your phone?”

“Sorry, we had our pre-bout meeting.” Madison glanced from Matt to Aiden.

“That’s fine.” Aiden turned his gaze on the detective, assessing the man like he might be an opponent. Matt Smith was younger than he expected, something of a golden boy appearance. The guy breathed his uniform, no doubt. He couldn’t ooze “cop” more if he rolled around in it. “Who is your friend?”

“Uh, this is Matt.”

“Name’s Aiden.”

They shook hands, Matt’s gaze narrowing. No doubt the detective had heard things. Aiden worked hard to stay off the police radar, but a good detective would hear rumors.

“Aiden who owns the classic car shop?” Matt asked.

Bingo.

“That’s me.”

“Nice to meet you.” Matt’s tone said otherwise.

“You know what? I saved you a place to sit, if you want. You need to take the spot or someone else will.” Madison neatly pivoted on her skates to face him.

“Yeah, show me the way. See you around, Matt.”

Madison put her helmet on and pushed off, rolling slowly away from Matt. They skirted the growing throng of people setting up lawn chairs outside of the crash zone. About halfway through the turn a tarp was laid out with two coolers on either side.

“Is that enough space for you guys?” Madison pointed to the tarped-off area.

“Plenty.” Aiden grabbed Madison’s arm, just below her elbow pad. “He bothering you?”

“What? Matt?” She shook her head. “No, he’s just being annoying like he always is.”

“You sure?” Would she tell him otherwise? Did she really trust him?

Madison paused, studying him.
