I’m not even sure she will want to do it at all. “Why?” Even as I ask, I remember Fly talking about Bram’s date…
“There’s this woman I know who would be a perfect fit for the job, either as an assistant or running the event. She’s done a ton of charity work.”
Bram’s girlfriend has done charity work. Well, that confirms he isn’t dating my hot neighbor. The only work she’s done in her life is possibly her own nails. “We usually have people within the club run it to ensure no money goes missing.”
“That’s not an issue.”
Oh, he’s lost in this woman. “We don’t usually pay much for this position.”
“Not an issue. She’ll do it for free or whatever is offered.”
No woman works for free. Or very few women. Bram might be planning on supplementing what we pay. How into this woman is he?
Fly is waiting by my office, leaning up against the wall. There are no visible doors along the entire hallway except for one at the end…which is also a trap. We aren’t very trusting around here.
What is with men going stupid over women lately? My son included. “I’ll see what I can do and let you know as soon as possible.”
Bram nods and walks away.
“Don’t tell me you’re here about a woman?” I snap at Fly.
“Nope. Though you might wish I were. Vex called for you.”
What? No. “Vex? Are you sure?” Why would the death bringer call me? I’d prefer he didn’t know I was alive, even though we helped protect his woman not too long ago. Maybe he isn’t calling to tell me he’s going to kill me and my entire family. “What did he want?”
“He wouldn’t say, but he said it was of utmost importance that you contact him immediately.”
It just keeps getting better and better. “Was there something else you wanted to talk about?” I open the room with the secret latch and head to my desk.
“Vandal, Ryot, and Torque have settled in. Vandal is already making arrangements to throw a wild party. Ryot has been moving his car around to be seen living in it.”
Living in a car in the snow can be very dangerous. My brothers humble me with their determination. “Do we have eyes on them?”
“There’s always someone monitoring all their trackers and a team within five minutes of their locations at all times.”
Which is above and beyond since none of them have made contact with a drug dealer yet.
I dial the phone number Fly handed to me, and hope that my death isn’t imminent.
“What?” Vex is always so charming and friendly.
“This is Havoc, returning your call.”
“I need a john tonight. I’m willing to pay for two of your men’s services.”
What? “I’m assuming you don’t mean a guy named John. None of my guys see prostitutes.”
“Well, for tonight, they need to pretend to be one. And if they touch the woman more than necessary, I’m pretty sure they’ll be flayed alive.”
That doesn’t sound like a great opportunity. “Um.”
“We’re taking down the biggest prostitution ring in Urbium. Are you in or out?”
I mute the phone and turn to Fly. “Wanna pretend to be a john tonight? It might get you tortured to death.”
“Sounds like fun. I’m in.”
My brothers are definitely crazy. “We’re in.”
