NINETEEN

“This is the last place I expected them to come back to,” Aidan said as Berat swung his cruiser onto Deidra White’s street.

Sure enough, a familiar black Charger was parked in the driveway of the third house down, and at the curb across the street, Ward stood leaning against the side of his truck.

“You said the kid usually has a good reason for what he does.” Berat parked behind the truck. “That’s why you didn’t have Ward bring them in. Let’s see what plays out here.”

He pushed open his car door, and Aidan followed, the two of them joining Ward by his truck. “I told them they couldn’t lose you,” Aidan said.

“Amateurs.” Ward’s smirk reached all the way to his light green eyes. “You wouldn’t believe the shit rock stars try to pull.”

“I don’t want to know,” Aidan said with a laugh before turning his attention toward the house. “How long have they been in there?”

“About twenty minutes.”

“Anyone else?”

Ward shook his head. “When I realized they were headed here, I beat them to it. Looked around. It’s just the two of ’em.”

Aidan asked Ward to keep watch, then crossed the street with Berat. “Mind if I go in alone?” Aidan asked as they navigated the crumbling pavers that led to the rickety front porch.

“Go for it,” Berat said. “I wanted to look around more out here. See if we missed anything the other day.”

He disappeared around the side, and Aidan entered through the unlocked front door. “Angel!” he called. “Bev!”

Two thunks echoed from somewhere down the hallway, followed by “Shit” in Angel’s voice, then “Tonto del culo” in Bev’s.

Aidan laughed, then immediately regretted it, the action causing him to inhale more of the stale, awful odors that had intensified over the past twenty-four hours. “Please tell me you came back here for a good reason.”

His godson poked his head into the hallway. “How’d you find us?”

Aidan tipped his head toward the street.

Angel stepped to the end of the hallway and glanced out the front window—at Ward by the curb where Aidan had left him. Angel straightened with a sigh. “I thought we’d lost him.”

“You can’t.” Aidan shoved his hands in his pockets and moved to lean his shoulder against a wall, then thought better of it and stayed in relatively unsoiled territory. “Now,” he said, voice neutral, keeping the objective in mind, “give me a good reason we’re here.”

“You’re not mad?” Bev appeared at Angel’s side, her blond hair gathered in a messy, wobbly bun. She had a pair of lab goggles hanging around her neck—and was that a piece of insulation on her shoulder?

Aidan grew even more intrigued. “I’m not happy,” he said, “but I didn’t put a guard on you only for your protection.”

Bev elbowed her friend’s side and muttered in Spanish, “Seems he knows you better than you think.”

“Or,” Aidan said, also in Spanish, “I just have enough teens and preteens in my life to know better.”

“His Spanish is better than yours,” Bev said to Angel, who elbowed her right back.
