“Let me see,” Ghost said.
Ranger grinned at him. “Take a look at this shit.”
Ghost was the first to see the screen of the laptop, and his eyes widened to a point where I thought they would pop out of his head.
“We have to get Cap,” Ghost said as he stood.
I scrambled for his hand, not realizing how much it rooted me. “Wait, wait, wait.”
Ghost turned back to me and reached out, taking my hand and giving it a soft squeeze. “Cap!”
“What!?”
“Get your ass in here!” he bellowed.
Ranger chuckled as the man who spoke to me before outside came rushing in. He had a look of fury on his face until Ranger stuck that laptop up to where he could see.
And that’s when his expression changed to shock.
“Holy. Fuck,” the one they called Cap said.
“Yeah,” Ranger said.
“I need to see,” I said simply.
And when Ranger placed the laptop back down into my lap, it took me a while to digest what was in front of me.
“Who is this company again?” I asked.
“The shell company that’s bought up some of the small businesses in our area,” Ghost said.
I used the track pad to click around on the screen a bit, and when I went to the top corner and hovered over the company’s name, Premedia Inc.
And the logo that popped up made my jaw drop.
“That’s confirmation enough for me,” Cap said.
Oh. My fucking. God. “That logo looks a lot like?—”
“This one?” Ranger asked as he reached over the top of the screen and pressed a quick succession of keystrokes.
It pulled up the logo for Langley, Pierceson, and Dahl.
And the resemblance was damn near uncanny.
“Oh my God,” I said breathlessly as I shoved the laptop away.
My hands shook and my mind swarmed.
Did I seriously work for the bad guys?
Have I been paying off my debts with blood money?

GHOST
I watched Ranger pluck the laptop off her lap. She stared at the wall, and I saw so many emotions flitting behind her eyes.
