I followed her back through the secret room where she left me in the lobby. I headed out to my bike, pulling my phone out as I walked.
“Hey,” Scrappy answered.
“I want everything you can find on Clifford Thayer. If we need to go deep, call Rabbit.”
“Dogs of Fire Rabbit?”
“Yeah,” I confirmed.
“What do you want to do with this info?” Scrappy asked.
“I want enough to bury the asshole.”
I heard the smile in his voice as he said, “Roger,” and hung up.
I threw my leg over my bike and made my way to Potion.

After leaving Jekyllin the lobby, I rushed back to my office and closed my door leaning against it as I tried to catch my breath.
What the fuck was that?
I settled my palm against my cheek exactly where Jekyll had. He’d shown a great deal of tenderness which belied his near maiming of Cliff.
God, he was an enigma.
I knew I should be afraid of him, but I wasn’t.
Not anymore.
Not only that, in fact, I was quickly realizing I liked him.
I shook my head and walked toward my desk just as my door burst open.
“What the hell is this about some biker beating the shit out of Cliff?” Bellamy demanded, closing the door behind her. “And why did no one come and get me so I could watch?”
I rolled my eyes as I sat behind my desk and opened my laptop. “It was nothing.”
“Bullshit,” she hissed, flopping into the chair across from me. “JJ said he threw Cliff to the ground and stomped on his head.”
“Okay, that is not at all what happened.”
“Well, you better start talkin’, missy, or I’m gonna fill in my own blanks.”
I told her everything, and I mean,everything. Bellamy was not the girl to hold back on, mostly because she knew me better than myself, which meant I literally could not lie to her.
“Okay, so he almost kissed you,” she mused once I was done.
“What? No,” I squeaked. “How the hell did you come to that conclusion?”
“I know men.”
“Because you’ve slept with two more than me?”
She snorted. “Because you don’t see your pure sex appeal.”
