But instead, they walked in to three guns aimed at them.
Dutch was first in, even if he had to shove Georgiephysically behind him to go first, which meant Georgie was right behind him.
“Christ,” he bit out.
“Heard of knocking?”Luke Stark, Lee Nightingale’sright-hand man, bit back before he holstered his weapon.
Vance and Roam were both holstering theirs as well.
“Ohmigod, what in heaven’s name?”Georgie cried, comingaround him.
It was a good question, since not only was Carlyle trussedup on the floor…
So were two men Dutch suspected were Banga and Kraken.
“I don’t know who to let loose first,” she snapped.
“That would be me,” the man Dutch knew by hearing his voiceover speakerphone was Kraken said.
“It would be me,” by process of elimination, he knew it wasBanga who said that.
“This fuckin’ shit is fuckin’ kidnapping,” Carlyle said.
“Do not cut Carlyle free,” Dutch warned, handing Georgie hisknife so she could saw through the zip ties.
Georgiana took the knife, gave him a nod and headed towardBanga and Kraken.
“Shizlayaya, we did not sign upfor thisshizla,” Banga told her.“You didn’t tell usthe Nightingalemofoswere on the case.Shufa!”
“They didn’t believe we had this brother for you,” Krakenshared.“And I can tell youtruth, Icouldalived my wholemotherfuckin’ life without theexperience of Luke Goddamned-Fuckin’ Stark subduing me.Have you been tased?”he asked Georgie.
“No,” she answered.
“I highly recommend avoiding it,” Kraken shared.
“I’m so sorry,” Georgie told them, going for Kraken first.
“You owe us big,Shizlayaya, forthisshizla,” Banga shared.
On that, Dutch entered the conversation.
“She had nothing to do with your takedown, so get that outof your head.”
“We’re notgonnaask her to openup acrackhousewith us, cracker,shizzleazzaowt,” Kraken replied.
“Okay…” Jag said slowly.“The fuck these guystalkin’ ’bout?”
“They have their own language,” Georgie shared.
Finishing up with Kraken, who was pulling his big, lanky,Black frame topped with its massive Afro with a pick comb stuck in it up fromthe floor, she was turning to Banga.
“No shit, darlin’?I got that part,” Jag returned.
“Shizlameans ‘shit.’Shizzleazzameans ‘chill,’” she educated.“Shufais the F-word.”
“Your name from them has the word shit in it?”Dutchgrowled.
“Also ‘yaya,’ honky,” Banga snapped.Now also free, he washauling his short, stocky Black body topped with a high, electric-blue mohawkAfro from the floor.“Which means hot mama.Put together it means a hot mamawho’s the shit.”
