Kieran got his gun out. Again.
Enzo stood stock still while Haz hugged him, until he relented and patted his back. “Don’t worry about it. I’ll handle Tommy myself. He won’t bother you or your friend again.”
“You really are family. All the time,” Haz told him. “Kieran just doesn’t like to sleep where he shits.”
Kieran made a choked sound, and Enzo grinned over his head.
“We aren’t getting involved in your low-level drug issues. Just nab Tommy and beat it out of him,” Kieran said, going to the door to pull it open and look at Enzo pointedly.
“I suppose that would be the easiest.” Enzo agreed, stepping back from Haz.
I thought about interjecting to claim slaying rights to Tommy, but I decided it didn’t really matter who killed him as long as he was dead.
“Let us know when it’s done,” I said as Enzo reached the door.
Enzo glanced back at me. “And what courtesy will you extend to me for such a favor?”
“I won’t slit your throat.”
“You sure you won’t come work for me?” Enzo askedwith a chuckle. “I could use a bloodhound like you.”
As if I’d let anyone strap another leash on me. Except maybe Rett. “I’m already employed,” I deadpanned.
And we both knew it would behoove him not to piss on whatever tenuous relationship he had going with the government.
On his way out the door, Enzo stopped beside Kieran. “Take care of my nephew, or the next time we meet will be at your funeral.”
Kieran shut the door in his face.
“You two could be nicer,” Haz scolded the second the lock engaged.
“If you want nice, adopt a golden retriever,” Kieran retorted.
Haz gasped.
“No dogs!” Kieran announced.
“That reminds me. I need to go measure for the fish tank we’re installing for our babies!” Haz pulled a tape measure out of his pocket and headed toward the living room.
“Where the hell did he get that?” I wondered.
“God only knows,” Kieran muttered.
“Thanks for having my back earlier,” I said even though he could have done a better job. Still, I was a fan of positive reinforcement.
“You should probably keep Rett under lock and key until Enzo handles Tommy.”
If by under lock and key he meant naked in my bed, then we were totally on the same page. “Will do,” I said and headedto the door.
Kieran’s voice stopped me. “Ghost.”
I turned back.
“You tell Rett about this life?”
Aww, look at him caring. “I told him.”
Kieran crossed his arms over his chest. “And?”
