Badger growled before punching him in the gut. Ricci wheezed and began to cough.
“Tell me where my sister is, Ricci!” she bit out.
Ricci just looked up at her and gave her a sadistic smile. “You’ll never find her. Especially if you kill me.”
Badger pulled back her fist.
“Badger, he’s not worth it,” I said as calmly as I could. I couldn’t have her kill him before we had all the information we needed out of him.
Badger looked at me, her piercing blue eyes swimming with emotion. I gave her a reassuring nod, indicating for her to take a break.
She scrunched up her nose and looked at Ricci with disgust before storming out of the interrogation room. All I wanted to dowas follow her, but I had a feeling she needed some time alone. But fuck that, I needed to talk to her. I wasn’t going to wait.
I followed her out of the room and almost ran into Kade.
“I take it questioning him is going swimmingly?” he asked.
I let out a humorless laugh and scrubbed a hand down my face. “You could say that.”
“Where’s the rest of Chief’s team?” Kade asked, looking through the two-way mirror.
I crossed my arms over my chest, knowing what he was really asking. “You mean, where is Evelyn?”
He gave me a pointed look. I rolled my eyes.
“She’s in your office. Chief ordered her to take some time to come down from everything that happened tonight and with her mom.”
“She’s by herself?” he said with a shocked expression.
“Buddha has been with her. But I imagine he’s with Chief now,” I responded.
Kade clapped me on the shoulder and started to head to the elevator.
“I’ll be back,” he called over his shoulder.
I gave him a nod in response and watched him walk away. As the elevator doors opened, he nearly ran into the cart of supplies Zombie was pushing.
As Zombie moved closer, I noticed what was on the tray of the cart. A large syringe, supplies for an IV, and some sanitary items. I gave him a nod and opened the interrogation room door for him. He nodded back before closing the door behind him with his foot.
I looked at the two-way mirror and watched as Ricci gave one of his sadistic smirks. The exchange didn’t last long, and soon Zombie stormed out of the interrogation room with a sneer on his face. I didn’t know for sure what got Zombie so pissed off, but I could guess it had to do with Aaron.
My phone pinged with a text from Kade.
Boss:
Is Zombie done with Ricci?
Me:
Yeah… Not sure what Ricci said, but Z-man just stormed out after he was finished.
Boss:
Well, he’s 2 for 2 tonight for pissing people off. Are you good for the first shift?
I let out a humorless laugh.
Me:
