Chapter 12

Sparrow

A royal plan… or something.

* * *

I could feel Breck’s eyes on me. His gaze slightly narrowed, teeth working over his bottom lip. If I didn’t know better, I’d 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, I’d broken my rule and had a one-night stand. With someone I wasn’t even sure I liked.

You like him.

I had to admit, even outside of bed, he wasn’t terrible. Or at least not as bad as I’d 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 moment’s notice. And I’d slept with him. Like an idiot.

No sleeping involved really. What with all that shouting, ‘Oh, my God, oh, my God.’

Flushing under his gaze, I cleared my throat and turned my attention to the screen. I pressed the button on the remote. “This lovely gentleman here is Truman Nix, big-time Hollywood producer.”

Niko rubbed his jaw. “Nix… Nix. Didn’t we have a case with him?”

I nodded. “We helped his wife escape her abusive relationship with him. Saturday when I was attacked, one of the idiots in question very clearly said, ‘This is for Truman.’ 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 he’s out and looking for blood.”

“Shit,” Niko murmured under his breath.

“Nix sent his buddies after me. But I’m not even sure why he did that because I wasn’t even that involved in the case. All I did was get his wife to a women’s shelter and then help move her into her new digs. It was Kannon’s case, but I’m sure he’s pissed at all of us.”

Niko whistled low as he searched the file. “Wow, he’s a piece of work. Lots of rape charges. Why the fuck is he even out?”

I hit the clicker again as I continued to pace. “This is his brother, Matthew Nix, lawyer to the stars. He’s a legal shark and is very, very good at his job. He got the LAPD on some evidentiary bullshit.”

Breck furrowed his brow. “Does Nix have access to his funds?”

Niko looked up from his screen. “There’s no telling how much cash he has stored. He’s one of those people that has backup plans on his backup plans. He’s a concern because obviously he had some Bitcoin. Do we have eyes on him?”

I shrugged. “Not yet. Supposedly he’s laying low at home, but we have zero visual. We can’t even spot the guy through a window.”

“My guess is he’s not there.”

Breck frowned. “Have you tried to send in an undercover operative?”

From the video monitor, Olly leaned forward.
