NIKO: After breakfast, Ivy drives me into town to get my car. We sit there, car idling, her cheeks red and my hands itching to touch her again. I wrap my hand around the back of her neck. My grip is firm when I meet her eyes. I pull her toward me and cover her lips with mine. It’s easy to get lost in how I feel when I’m with her and I have to remind myself that I can’t do that. Not when her life could be at stake—or her happiness. So I think about murder and prison showers and hazing new inmates. Anything to get my dick to calm down. Before I get out, I adjust my cock and she chuckles at me, her eyes lighting up.

I climb out of the car but lean back in before the closing the door, “Call me?”

She shrugs, “Maybe.”

I raise an eyebrow in challenge.

“Don’t push your luck.”

I shut the door and watch her car as she pulls away. It’s an old beater that she’s had since her sixteenth birthday. It was old then, now it’s ancient—and I don’t mean classic. The muffler wobbles as she goes over a bump and I swear to God it’s going to fall off. Money. I need more of it. I’ll buy her a car that I don’t have to worry about blowing up. But going legit pays pennies, and that’s only if I can get a job. But as I watch her in the distance, with her blinker flashing too fast to be working correctly, I know why I have to keep on the path I’ve set for myself. She deserves more than the kind of life my mother had.

But job hunting will have to wait. I have a task to complete and it came with a deadline.

Brent’s address isn’t hard to find. At least that’s what I think when I find him easily online. Then I discover he and Jack got evicted from their apartment after their landlord discovered they’d been arrested. Not sure if that’s legal, but that’s hardly my problem. Regardless, they moved on. Ivy never said where Jack is now and I haven’t asked. I don’t want to raise any red flags. Even in casual conversation, she’d start asking questions and she can’t know about this. Not now. Not ever.

I have to hand it to Brent. His trail stops cold at his old apartment. I don’t have much to go on after that, so I have to kick things up a notch. This involves asking Vik for an informant at the police department. Lucky me, there are only a handful of cops in this town and most of them are dirty.

The cop has a burner phone and I call once without leaving a message. That’s the way Vik always does it. And like Vik says, the cop calls me back from the number displayed on his phone—my own burner. I don’t know the guy, but Vik trusts him—as much as you can trust a dirty cop—and he has no idea who I am.
