The tension between the three of us was at an all time high after Kiera had stormed out of the compound a few hours ago. No patch holders approached us. A few hang-arounds tried to cozy up to me, but I immediately shut them down. I noticed Brooks and Stone doing the same. I was trying to wrack my brain for another alternative to getting Kevin’s Old Lady back since Kiera had said fuck the job, when my phone rang.

“Yes?” I bit out. Not bothering to look at the caller ID, I was shocked when Kiera’s husky voice filled the speaker.

“I got something you’re going to want to see.” She sounded resigned, but still angry. Not surprising, Kiera’s always angry at something.

“What is it, Kiera?” I ground out, not in the mood to deal with more shit. Brooks and Stone’s focus had drifted to me when I spoke her name.

“Well, if you’d just fucking come over here you’d find out. Damn it, Gar,” she muttered. Her voice sounded far away at the sentiment. I don’t think she realized I was able to hear her. I wasn’t exactly sure how I felt about her using the nickname Chase had given me. “Bring Brooks and Stone.” The line went dead as she hung up on me.

“We’ve been summoned to Kiera’s house,” I informed them. Brooks looked cautious but intrigued, while Stone looked, well, like Stone. “Apparently, there’s something we need to see.” Without any more discussion, we left the compound on our bikes and rode toward Kiera’s house. It’s a mansion, I thought to myself as I started up the front walkway.

“Kiera?” I called out when I didn’t spot her familiar dirty blonde head or tattooed body in her living space. I absently noticed that my photos still sat on the mantle and despite telling myself I didn’t care, I couldn’t help but be relieved.

“Back here,” her voice filtered out of the room where she worked. First thing I noticed when we entered was her Glock on the top of the table, followed quickly by the dead person lying in a heap on the floor.

“Jesus.” Brooks eyed the Alloy Kings member with an appraising eye. Stone’s steely gaze was focused on Kiera who was casually bent over the table looking through the pile of papers on top.

“What happened?” I demanded. My relief was short-lived. Seething anger flooded my system when I fully processed that my kitten had to kill an Alloy King. She held out a crumpled piece of paper for me to take without looking toward us. I snatched the sheet away from her.

“What’s that?” Brooks read the paper over my shoulder, his jaw ticking in anger as he read the to-do list. “They fucking wanted to blow up our compound? Damn bastards. How did they know you’re The Cat?” Brooks asked, his hand rubbing his jaw.

“Money can buy everything, even information,” Kiera offered blandly, seemingly unconcerned with the entire situation. Stone took the sheet from my hand and read through it multiple times.
