REESE
âAnd youâre positive that you didnât get a good look at the guyâs face?â
âDude, if I fuckinâ saw him, you would know.â
âJust making sure, man. Doinâ my job.â
Mackie has his phone out, typing in all the info I can scrounge up. Iâve got a hell of a concussion and enough blood loss to warrant concern, but I donât want to be in the hospital anymoreâI want to be out there myself, finding the fucker who attacked me. Then we can see whoâs the big shot. Bet he wonât be able to last going toe to toe while Iâm sober and alert with a bone to pick.
Several bones, in fact.
I level a look at Mackie. âIt was pitch fucking dark and the guy didnât say anything.â I grimace. âDidnât even ask for my money. Nothing.â
âAnd you say thereâs no one out there that might have a grudge? You piss someone off at practice? Cut someone off on the highway?â Mackie tilts his head. âScrew someoneâs girl?â
I narrow my eyes. âI have a girlfriend.â
Mackie puts his hands up. âCovering all the bases here, Reese. I know you, but I also know athletes. The path of monogamy is easily strayed from.â
âI wouldnât do that to Olivia.â
âCool. Means I wonât have to scrape your sorry carcass off the pavement.â Mackie pockets his phone. âListen, you had me watching your place and your girl not too long back. Now, youâve got someone tagging your house and attacking you in the middle of the night. You sure you donât want me escalating this further? Because this all looks like itâs connectedâ ââ
âIt was probably just a pissed-off fan,â I dismiss before he can get too deep into his theory. âReally, I just want to be petty and send the fucker the bill for this shit.â
Mackie stares at me a moment before shaking his head. âSomethingâs going on. I can see it. I ainât been on the force long as I have to not smell trouble in the air. But if youâre trying to handle this yourself, Iâll give you some room. Just donât go gettinâ into trouble I canât bail you out on, alright?â
âI wouldnât dream of it.â
Mackie scoffs. âYou donât gotta dream it, Reese. Trouble just drops in on you like a bat outta hell, whether you asked for it or not.â
With that, he tips his head to me and leaves.
Lying back against the rough hospital pillows, I try to think of a game plan. Mackie knows something is up. Like he said, heâs got a sharp sense for these things. Iâm grateful heâs letting me handle this on my own, though, because I donât wanna drag him into Hollyâs schemes. Heâs already put his neck out there for me more than once.
Guys in his line of duty already have enough to deal with. I donât need him getting random stab wounds and concussions, too.
âUgh. This is fucking stupid.â
âBro, donât talk about yourself like that. Youâre, like, maybe just a liâl dumb. Not âfucking stupid.ââ
Marcus peeks his head inside my room, followed by Dante right behind him.
