Chapter Twelve

A SHORT DRIVE later, Austin parked his truck at the one place where he could usually think clearly.

After pocketing his keys, he gathered everything he needed for the gun range and got out of the truck. He needed time alone to process the bomb that Nina had just dropped on him. In his heart, he’d known she was hiding something. But Russian mafia? What the actual fuck?

She should have told him, should have trusted him with the information instead of keeping him in the dark until her options had completely run out. The betrayal stung, especially considering the way he felt about her. Even though he’d been reluctant to admit it, from the moment he met her, he’d felt a connection that ran a hell of a lot deeper than simple attraction.

After paying his fee at the front office, he walked to the outdoor pistol range and pinned up a fresh round of targets. No matter how many times he ran it through his head, he kept circling back to the simple fact she’d repeatedly lied to him. She could have told him last night after he took her to his place, or this morning after Ryan left.

Hell, she could have told him at any time during the past year she’d worked for Six Points. But no, she’d chosen to keep him in the dark about her ties to a criminal organization that was probably on the watch list of every law enforcement agency in the country. It posed a serious credibility problem for the company, and if any of their clients found out, they’d be within their rights to terminate their contracts.

He picked up the gun, the cold steel a familiar comfort, and loaded a fresh magazine. Taking aim, he fired four shots and grimaced at the lousy grouping within the black inner circle. He was also pissed at Larissa. She damn well should have informed him about Nina’s past the instant she uncovered it. At this point, he wasn’t sure who he was more upset with: Nina for lying, his sister for not telling him, or himself for trusting them both.

Austin sensed Wade’s presence a split second before he spotted him in his periphery, wearing a plain black shirt, jeans, beat-up construction boots, and a black baseball cap with the Six Points logo. A pair of bright orange plugs protected his ears, and yellow-tinted sunglasses covered his eyes. Without a word, he walked up alongside Austin and placed his gun case on the loading table.

“What are you doing here?” he asked, not bothering to mask the irritation in his voice. “Larissa bribe you into coming out?”

Wade shook his head, the scars on his face more prominent under the afternoon sun. “I volunteered after she told me what happened.”

That wasn’t the answer Austin had expected, considering how Wade usually kept to himself. “I’m not in the mood for a lecture.”

“Good. I wasn’t planning to give one.” Wade unzipped the case that held his weapon. The faint whiff of gun oil scented the air as he took out his Colt M1911 pistol.
