Chapter Seventeen

"You want me to do what?"

Colter frowned at Ox then leaned over and closed the conference room door. "Can you keep your voice down?"

"Can you get your head out of your ass?" Ox leaned against the edge of the table and folded his arms in front of him. His eyes sparked with a glitter of something—annoyance, or maybe amusement. Maybe both. "You've lost your fucking mind."

"This is important."

"It's insane. How the hell is me picking up a hooker going to help anything?"

Anger swept through Colter and he ruthlessly pushed it away. "She's not a hooker. She's a thirteen-year-old girl who's been forced to work on the streets."

Ox's demeanor changed, became a little less edgy, but only for a brief second. "That's supposed to make it any better?"

"No, it's supposed to get her off the street."

"Maybe you should start over because none of this makes any sense. What the hell does any of this have to do with keeping your girl safe?"

Colter ignored the reference to Allison as his girl—and gave a brief sigh of thanks that Boomer wasn't anywhere around to overhear it. They'd called a truce of sorts over what had happened yesterday but that could change. Hell, it would change if Boomer found out exactly what the hell was going on between Colter and Allison. Not that Colter could define it because he couldn't. They'd had sex. Was it more than that? Maybe. At least, he hoped it might be. He had no idea what the hell Allison thought. The only thing he knew for certain was that they wouldn't be able to pursue anything until Allison was sure Shonda was off the streets.

"Allison isn't going to stop until she knows Shonda is safe—and she doesn't care if that makes her a target. I can't let her do that."

"Wouldn't it make more sense to figure out who the hell took those shots at Allison? Find him, and everything else falls into place. You take out the bad guy, win the girl, live happily-ever-after. It's a win-win for everyone."

"Yeah—except it's not that fucking easy because there's nothing to go by, just a name: Bug."

"So have Chaos hack into the police files or whatever the hell it is he does."

"He's working on it. The problem is, the police don't seem to have much. The guy's a ghost."

"Bullshit. They must have something."

"They don't."

Colter had thought they would but so far, Chaos was coming up empty. The only thing they had was a street name—and a list of alleged crimes associated with it.

Assault.

Illegal weapons.

Drugs.

Kidnapping.

Trafficking.

Murder.

None of it painted a very promising picture, not if they couldn't pin a real name or even a face to the crimes.

"What about federal databases? FBI. DHS. Any of those shadow hells Chaos used to hang? Somebody has to have something."

"He's looking but so far, he's coming up empty." And Chaos was almost as frustrated as Colter was.

"So your answer is for me to go troll the streets then kidnap this girl when I find her?"

"I never said kidnap.
