The car ride to the safe house was silent, and exhaustion crept into my bones. My muscles shook from the adrenaline finally subsiding and I wanted nothing more than to curl up on the seat and sleep, but I couldn’t. Not yet, at least.

Dominic turned the music streaming from the radio up, covering the heavy silence in the car, and I glanced in the rearview mirror. Ethan gave me a small smile when he caught me staring. He looked a little pale and a light sheen of sweat covered his skin.

“Are you sure you’re okay?” I asked.

“Positive. The only thing that would make me feel better is if you were sitting in my lap.”

He gave me a quick wink, and Hunter chuckled beside me. “Of course, you would go straight to that. Get shot and immediately think of sex.”

I scoffed at both of them, exasperated. “We’ll talk about sex as soon as Nia looks at the bullet wound.”

“Promise?” Ethan teased, and I rolled my eyes, turning my attention to the buildings passing by.

Waking up early wasn’t exactly my forte. Add in shooting someone, Ethan and Lexi being wounded, and setting a building on fire. I would kill for a cup of coffee.

One more step of our plan was completed and for that, I could breathe a sigh of relief. I wasn’t sure what the timeline was for taking care of Ayers or the rest, but so far today was a success.

Dominic drove into the outskirts of Strathmore and the dilapidated industrial buildings fell away to a small suburban area filled with midsize homes. Lawns were neatly manicured and children played outside, riding the new bikes they received for the holidays despite the chill in the air. We turned onto a cul-de-sac and parked in front of a two-story white house. The black shutters and crimson door were a stark contrast to the paint. Hedges neatly lined the front. It fit in perfectly with the surrounding homes and seemed warm and inviting. From an outsider’s perspective, you’d have no clue that this was a safe house for people involved in organized crime.

I trudged to the house and knocked before trying the knob. The door was unlocked and I stepped inside, shrugging off my jacket and hanging it on a hook in the entryway.

Joey, one of Oliver’s men, peered around the corner and grinned. “I was wondering when you were going to show up. Long morning, killer?”

I gave him my best scowl as I passed by. “Please tell me there’s coffee,” I responded as I walked into the kitchen.

And just like that, everything from this morning was worth it. A few of the women from the Rose were seated around a large wooden table with cups and plates, whispering amongst themselves.

Victoria stood at the stove, making something that smelled faintly of cinnamon. “Of course there’s coffee. I know how you are in the morning,” she laughed as she continued working.

I searched through the cabinets of the spacious kitchen and found a mug as I listened to the quiet murmuring behind me.
