Colin hooked his shoulder holster over his t-shirt and adjusted the strap so it wouldn’t show through his jacket. Once it was fitted, he holstered the loaded Glock 17 and put the two extra magazines in the other side of the holster.

Right then, Jean came out of the bathroom, ready to go meet with her brothers. She halted when she saw him. “Whoa. You’re packing today?”

He picked up a brown leather jacket and slid it on over the holster so no one looking at him would even know there was a gun tucked under the leather. “I’m always packing.”

“So are you one of those people who’s getting ready for the apocalypse and is always expecting a war?”

He raised a brow. “I’m someone who’s discharged a weapon in self-defense before,” he said simply. He’d discharged a weapon in non-defensive situations too, but she didn’t need to know that. “Are you ready to go?”

“Yep. I just have to—”

Colin’s phone rang, and he looked down to see that Smith was calling. He clenched his jaw and headed for the bathroom. “I need to take this,” he said simply before he left Jean out of sight and shut the door.

“I’ll just wait here,” she called from the other side of the door, a not-so-subtle annoyance in her voice. She’d just have to be annoyed for now. He was willing to admit that she had the right to be kept informed about where this investigation was going, but he would still be the one to determine how she got the information. Namely not while she bent over his shoulder to hear what Smith was saying.

“Colin here. What did you find?”

“You know, a little foreplay wouldn’t be such a bad thing,” said Smith on the other end before a crunching noise came over the line.

“Any dinner I bought you would be ruined by the chips you’re eating anyway. I don’t have time for foreplay—I’m trying to figure out who is paying to have a friend of mine killed.”

There was a pause. Then, “This girl is a friend now? I thought she was a client.”

“Does it make a difference?” bit out Colin.

“Well, you don’t have friends, so...”

He didn’t have time for this. “I’m assuming you called because you had something to say besides berating my personal life.”

“There is something, but you’re not going to like it.”

“So you don’t have who paid Tony Marsh yet?”

“I found the account the money came out of, but the name it’s set up in is a ghost. Whoever it was, they fabricated this identity for this account, probably because they’re doing shady shit like hiring assassins.”

“So you’re telling me you have nothing?”

“No, I’m still digging. Just because I hit a dead end doesn’t mean I don’t have any other trails to follow. But I’ve been keeping an eye on this account and tracking any activity in and out and there was a sizable transfer into a New York City account this morning.”

“Sizable?”

“Fifteen grand. Same as the amount that was paid for Tony Marsh.
