The conversation with River was enlightening, to say the least. Never did I believe she’d be able to school me, of all people, in being tough, but fuck me, she did it.

Nobody scares me, and I’ve allowed the thought of family to push me back thirteen years into the scared little girl I once was instead of letting it make me stronger.

After riding home to grab a change of clothes, I’m now at the casino, where I’ve been watching Mr. Wright play Blackjack for the last hour. My mind may be whirling with questions about my personal life, but business is business. I need to separate the two or I’m fucked.

My phone vibrates in my pants pocket—black like my soul—and I dig it out from my corner of the casino. I do love to play, but my main focus tonight is following Mr. Wright’s every move.

Unknown: They’ve found you

What the actual fuck?

Me: Who are you?

I wait for ten, fifteen, minutes, and no reply. My jaw aches from grinding my teeth as I try to figure out who “they” are, my mind going at a million miles a minute when I notice Zavier making a beeline for me.

I was hoping to avoid him tonight. His fascination with me is annoying.

“Ah, Shadow. Nice to see you again. You not playing tonight?” Zavier sits beside me at the small corner bar, following my eyeline to Mr. Wright. “Got your eye on something else, I see…” He rests his arm on the back of my chair, his fingers brushing against the leather of my jacket as he leans in to tickle his breath across the skin of my neck.

I don’t flinch, don’t move, allowing him to feel like he has some power here. Even though we both know he has none.

Hopefully my silence also tells him to back off. I’m not in the mood to play flirtatious with him tonight.

It’s then that Mr. Wright chooses to up and leave, having won a few big pots, yet again. I finish off my water, turning away from Zavier and placing the now-empty glass on the bar behind me before standing.

“Time for me to go.” I don’t waste time with pleasantries, taking the time to zip up my jacket as I watch Mr. Wright cashing in his chips from the corner of my eye.

“Stay, keep me company tonight, Shadow. I’m bored.” His hazel eyes bore into me, pleading, but he’s full of shit. He doesn’t want me to follow the tall thin man I clashed with last week, the man he defended and very obviously has some kind of deal with.

“Only boring people get bored, Z.” Without giving him a chance to reply, I head on outside to my bike and find a spot nearby so I can see the exit, ready to try my hand at tailing this guy. Shoo’s the best we have for these jobs, so the fact Mr. Wright managed to lose him every time says this man is dangerous.

Everyone’s considered dangerous until I know all their secrets.
