I nodded, the action still not enough to make him pull away. Our lips only disconnected when he dropped back onto his ass and folded his legs in front of him to pull me into my very own nest.
A nest of Hiro.
I cried harder. “I’m going,” I said between sobs. “I’m going to get that address because this is my fault, and I need to make it right. Those stupid pills…” I hiccupped and wrapped both arms around one of Hiro’s as he held me.
“None of this is your fault,” Hiro said again. “This is all Tommy. I should have fucking followed him out that window and killed him right then.”
But he didn’t. And now Wyatt was in danger. And so was Hiro because I’d led them straight to our doorstep.
“We should leave,” I said. “We aren’t safe here.”
“Yes, we are,” Kieran said.
I glanced over Hiro’s shoulder. “But they could be coming.”
“They won’t come unless you don’t show. And if they do, I’ll kill them,” Kieran told me.
“Not if I kill them first,” Hiro countered.
“Killing is not a competition,” Haz told the room.
Sitting up in Hiro’s lap, I pulled my suddenly foggy glasses off and swiped at my eyes. “I’ll wear the wire. I’ll get the address, and then you guys can go save Wyatt.”
It was the best option whether Hiro wanted to admit it or not. Which, judging by the way he was shaking his head, I knew he did not.
“The wire will be here within the hour,” Enzo said. “Rett, my men will be everywhere tonight. Even if you can’t see them, just know there will be backup.”
“It’s the fastest way to get this done,” Kieran said directly to Hiro.
“Yeah? Then send Haz.”
Kieran’s jaw locked. Pretty sure I heard his teeth grinding. “They didn’t ask for Haz.”
“But if they did, you’d send him?” Hiro challenged.
A dark expression overcame Kieran’s face.
Haz stepped forward. “He wouldn’t have a choice because I would go too.”
I glanced at Hiro who was already eating me alive with his dark, turbulent stare. “I can do this,” I whispered. “And you’ll be there watching from the shadows just like always.”
“I don’t like it,” he said.
“I know.”
“If anyone even looks at you funny, I will murder everysingle one of them,” he vowed.
It was the closest thing to an agreement we were going to get.

Ghost
I wasn’t used to feeling like this.
Out of control. Crawling out of my skin.Scared.
