“I’m going in. I’ll stall long enough for you to find something I can work with.”
“What exactly am I looking for?” she sputters.
“When you see it, you’ll know.”
“Finn—”
I slam the door shut and speak firmly to her through the window. “No matter what, youdo notleave this van. Not for any reason.”
J’s silence is stifling.
“Not for any reason.” I repeat myself in a low, hard voice.
“Okay,” she squeaks. “I get it.”
I stalk back to the group waiting by the shed. Hayato and Ren have joined my brothers, though they aren’t speaking to them.
“You two.” I point to my bodyguards.
Both of them stand at attention.
“Wait out here.”
Ren and Hayato bow.
I stop right next to Ren’s bowed head and dart my eyes to the van.
Ren peeks that way and nods his understanding.
I move forward. “Sol, Dutch, Zane… you’re right outside. Make sure no one comes in. Or out.”
My brothers and Sol flank me on both sides as I approach the door.
“What about J?” Dutch whispers.
“J’s watching the money,” Zane jokes as we near the front door.
Sol eyes me with gleefulness in his expression. “What did you ask her to do? Blow up their phones? Rig up a surveillance camera?”
“She’s doing something only Jinx can,” I answer.
“You want access to their secrets,” Dutch says, understanding my plan immediately.
Zane looks impressed.
Sol’s eyes widen. “Jinx will find everything these guys want to stay buried.”
“Will she be able to do that with their phones alone?” Zane asks, stopping right outside the door.
“Yes.” I have no doubt about that.
“Even if there’s something incriminating on there, there’s no guarantee she’ll find it in time,” Dutch warns.
“Then I’ll give her some time,” I say.
And with a deep breath, I push the door open.
