CHAPTER

NINETEEN

NOVA

After sending Riptide and a few of my less menacing brothers inside to finish what I started, I head toward Marsten. Every forward step I take Marsten’s way is done with a temperamental vexation and he notices that in my stride the closer I get to him if the twitch of his eyes is any indication. He hangs his head in exasperation and audibly sighs.

“How did that motherfucker make it on my land without tripping my system, Marsten? What do you know about him that I don’t?”

“We already knew he was smart, Nova,” Marsten exclaims. “But what we didn’t know, what I needed to stay under wraps until I knew who I could trust and who I couldn’t, is that he’s an MIT dropout.”

The way he worded that compounded by the look on his face says there’s more to that story than what he’s telling me. It’s suspect, if nothing else and I don’t like it. Not one bit. “Dropped out or kicked out? Don’t lie to me, Marsten, it’s in your best interest not to if you want me to continue cooperating with you on this. This shit just became personal for me on a whole new level, so now, I’m more invested than ever before.”

“This stays between you and me, Nova. Agree to that, or I’m not going to tell you what I found and buried,” Marsten declares.

“I won’t lie to my brothers, Marsten. If you’re against them finding out what you’re about to say, then keep your trap shut. But know this, if you do, our working relationship ends here,” I stipulate, not beating around the bush. It’s a pledge I’d make with my hand placed upon a Bible. I’m not fucking around with this—not anymore. I’ve given him as much leeway as I’m willing to give.

“Dammit, Nova. You’ve put me in a sticky position here,” he states through gritted teeth.

Crossing my arms over my chest in a power move, I peer down at him through slitted lids and say, “I play with mousetraps in my spare time. In this case, Jennings is the rodent, and I’m the snare, but in order to catch the vermin before it scuttles away with the cheese, I need to be made aware of all the evidence.”

“Nice metaphor,” he huffs out.

“I deal with uneducated men on the streets on a daily basis who don’t necessarily understand the big words, they confuse them so I break shit down into teeny, tiny pieces and phrases so they get what I’m saying. And since it seems you weren’t comprehending the words that were coming out of my mouth, I extended the same courtesy to you.”

“You’re in a mood,” he harrumphs.

“I am in a mood,” I clarify, repeating his words back to him, keeping my arms crossed but this time, my face is thunderous. “And if you were wearing my shoes, you would be as well.”

He and I usually have a tit for tat working relationship, but seeing as he’s keeping shit from me, I
