“Are the Kings disappearing those women?”

“No.”

“Selling them?”

“No.”

“Moving them?”

“No.”

“Looking for Kaylee.”

“How did you know she was there?”

“Tip.”

“From who?”

“Can’t tell you.”

“What?”

“Every answer that matters magically becomes club business.”

“That one does.”

“You expect me to trust you?”

“No.”

That stops me.

“You don’t?”

“Would be fucking stupid if you did.”

“At least we agree on something.”

“I expect you to listen.”

“Worse.”

He leans back in the chair.

“The club ain’t taking those girls.”

“You keep saying that.”

“Because you keep asking.”
