“I’m not a pussy,Kevin.”Evander uses his real name when he wants piss him off.I guess we all do.
“Now, now,” Declan says.“Can’t we just be friends and get along?Especially the pussies and theKevins?”
I smack Declan upside his head.“Don’t stir up trouble, chucklefuck.”
He rubs his head.“Next time I take you up in my heli, I might forget to lock your door when I do a barrel roll.Just sayin’.”
We stand in front of Cal’s house and look up at it.
Our insults and bullshit are forgotten now that we have to figure out how best to torture our just-married brother.
“He’s probably still up there,” Declan says, looking up at the single-story home constructed on a steep hillside.“I can scale the house in about fifteen seconds.”
“The bedroom is on the other side of the house facing the lake,” Special K points out.
“He’s right,” Evander says.“You’d have to scale the deck and make your way across the house.It will give him too much of an opportunity to detect movement.”
“None of that shit matters,” I say.“As soon as the window’s cracked, Cal will hear that fucking chirping noise from the alarm system.”
We all turn to look at Evander.He’s the insertion specialist, an expert at disabling surveillance and defense systems.A home alarm is nothing for him.
“Damn it,” Evander grumbles.“This is a brand-new suit.”
I snort.“Only you would wear a suit to a kidnapping.”
Evander dusts an invisible piece of lint from his lapel.“I have standards, Finn.Unlike you mouth-breathing heathens.”
“Please stop,” Declan says, his hand clutching his chest.“You’re giving me a hard-on.”
“Are we doing this or not?”Special K complains.
“Fine,” Evander grumbles.“I’ll disable the alarm.He won’t hear a thing, but on the off chance that he does…” He points to Declan.“You’ll have to scale the house in eight seconds and make it to his bedroom window in another three.”
Declan nods.“Got it.”
Special K hands Declan the taser.“Use this on him before he wakes up.It might increase your chances of survival.”
Declan studies the weapon.“This isn’t going to work.I’ve seen Cal take out dudes with taser coils lodged in his neck.”
“We’ll breach the front and help you out,” I say.I display the rope.
“I really hope Victoria isn’t naked,” Evander says.“I don’t want to see her naked.”
“I’ll shield your delicate eyes,” Declan tells him.
“I hope she doesn’t have heart issues,” I add.“We don’t want to kill her.I don’t think Cal would be in favor of that.”
Special K rolls his eyes.“Are we doing this, or are we just going to stand around and jack off?”
“I did that before I got dressed,” Declan says.
“Gentlemen, synchronize your watches,” I say.
“I’m not wearing a watch,” Declan says.
Evander shakes his head in disgust and mumbles, “M.B.H.”
“What’s that mean?”Declan snaps.
