CHAPTER SEVENTEEN

MAVEN

“Willa and her crew will go first. We’ll wait a few blocks away until they give us the all clear, then we’ll join them. Take at least two cars and park far enough away to avoid a tail if we have to run. We’ll meet back here if we get split up. Any questions?” Maddox’s gaze drifted over each of us as he awaited a response.

The five of us had gathered at his house to go over the plan. Tonight we were hitting Archer’s biggest warehouse. It was the main hub of his many operations. He dealt in everything from drugs to weapons to counterfeit cash. No doubt we’d find something of value in that warehouse. Something he’d never want us to get our hands on.

“How many of Archer’s people are we expecting on site?” Wolfe asked. “There will be some kind of security.”

Since we’d all arrived, he and Maddox had been getting along as well as could be expected. They’d exchanged greetings and managed to be civil. So far so good.

“We’re expecting at least six. Willa will update us when she gets there. No doubt there will be cameras. We’ll have to move fast. We want Archer to know we hit his warehouse but we don’t want to give him time to send reinforcements.” Maddox loaded a magazine into the semi-automatic handgun he often carried.

The veins in his forearm rippled through the scorpion tattooed there, drawing my eye. In a black t-shirt and worn blue jeans, Maddox had no idea how simply gorgeous he was. His focus on the gun, he didn’t notice me ogling him.

I glanced around at the other three, admiring them each in turn. They were all unique in their own way. Ruthless with his mohawk and heavy ink along with that dark attitude. Ace with his fun loving personality and beautiful blue eyes. And Wolfe who was tall, dark, handsome, and deadly.

We were so far from where we’d started out together. Tonight was the first real step in starting anew. Becoming more than we were before. Tonight the first domino would fall, kicking off a chain of events that would bring us closer to ruling this city. Hopefully it brought us closer to each other as well.

“Everybody ready?” Ace asked, pulling car keys from the pocket of his trendy pants.

There wasn’t much discussion as we exited the house. Everyone slipped into their own headspace, mentally preparing for the job ahead. I joined Ruthless and Maddox in the Escalade, blowing Wolfe and Ace a kiss when we parted ways in the driveway.

Nothing felt quite as satisfying as knowing that we were about to turn Archer’s world upside down. Well… clocking his old lady had felt pretty damn satisfying.

We were only a few blocks from the warehouse when Ruthless pulled into a darkened alley behind a row of businesses. He parked the SUV next to a dumpster where it wouldn’t easily be seen by passersby. My body hummed with anticipation. Was there any better feeling than this?

“Willa and her team are in place,” Maddox said, staring at a message on his phone.
