Sparrow
A royal plan⦠or something.
* * *
I could feel Breckâs eyes on me. His gaze slightly narrowed, teeth working over his bottom lip. If I didnât know better, Iâd say he was thinking about what happened in his room two nights ago.
Okay, what happened three times in his room. But really, who was counting?
You were.
My gaze flickered to his again, and insecurity settled in my gut. He looked mildly irritated. Maybe he was regretting it. What did I know? So, Iâd broken my rule and had a one-night stand. With someone I wasnât even sure I liked.
You like him.
I had to admit, even outside of bed, he wasnât terrible. Or at least not as bad as Iâd thought he was. However, one thing I did know was that he was a playboy. Full-on royal playboy. Sardonic smile, ridiculous bank account, scores of women ready, willing, and able to jump his bones at a momentâs notice. And Iâd slept with him. Like an idiot.
No sleeping involved really. What with all that shouting, âOh, my God, oh, my God.â
Flushing under his gaze, I cleared my throat and turned my attention to the screen. I pressed the button on the remote. âThis lovely gentleman here is Truman Nix, big-time Hollywood producer.â
Niko rubbed his jaw. âNix⦠Nix. Didnât we have a case with him?â
I nodded. âWe helped his wife escape her abusive relationship with him. Saturday when I was attacked, one of the idiots in question very clearly said, âThis is for Truman.â So that sent us down a rabbit hole. Come to find out, Nix is out of jail on a technicality. Somebody fucked up the chain of evidence. So heâs out and looking for blood.â
âShit,â Niko murmured under his breath.
âNix sent his buddies after me. But Iâm not even sure why he did that because I wasnât even that involved in the case. All I did was get his wife to a womenâs shelter and then help move her into her new digs. It was Kannonâs case, but Iâm sure heâs pissed at all of us.â
Niko whistled low as he searched the file. âWow, heâs a piece of work. Lots of rape charges. Why the fuck is he even out?â
I hit the clicker again as I continued to pace. âThis is his brother, Matthew Nix, lawyer to the stars. Heâs a legal shark and is very, very good at his job. He got the LAPD on some evidentiary bullshit.â
Breck furrowed his brow. âDoes Nix have access to his funds?â
Niko looked up from his screen. âThereâs no telling how much cash he has stored. Heâs one of those people that has backup plans on his backup plans. Heâs a concern because obviously he had some Bitcoin. Do we have eyes on him?â
I shrugged. âNot yet. Supposedly heâs laying low at home, but we have zero visual. We canât even spot the guy through a window.â
âMy guess is heâs not there.â
Breck frowned. âHave you tried to send in an undercover operative?â
From the video monitor, Olly leaned forward.
