As tempting as it is to off her, remember you gotta keep her alive to get information out of her

Princess

Thanks for the tip

Drifter

I still don’t know what she and Ricky were up to, but it was an unplanned visit. She was able to get through the gate easily, so she’s no stranger

Princess

I knocked her out. We’re waiting for her to come around

Drifter

I’ll be done in an hour. I’ll see you then

Princess

Later

I’m pleased with myself, and the fact nobody has any idea she’s in the Stilettos’ clubhouse as we speak. Whether her MC will miss her is another thing, but from what we know, she’s unstable and erratic. So, leaving her clubhouse for a few days probably isn’t odd enough to warrant a search. I doubt she’ll even be missed.

I glance at my phone when it beeps again. I texted Wrath right before Ruby.

Wrath

Good job. Diamond’s got a lot to deal with. If the Crows are heading toward Mississippi, Bane will intercept. If we have to come down there, we’re on standby

I know Sin has been keeping tabs on the situation and reporting back to Wrath, but I’ve not seen him for a couple of days. After the fire, there was a lot of cleanup. Dustin, Sin, Diamond’s father, Gus, and even Nash are working on repairs.

Drifter

They got Fury, so we’ll see what comes outta that. Wouldn’t like to be in her shoes right now

Wrath

Sin was on his way back until the fire. It’s best you both stay put until this is resolved. The more eyes and ears the better

Drifter

Got it

Wrath

Stay alert. We’re depending on you

Drifter

Always am

My Prez is short and to the point, which I don’t mind. Texting isn’t his forte, but talking on the phone isn’t an option while I’m at work.

I can only imagine what’s going on right now over at the Stilettos’ clubhouse…

Ruby

When slapping her awake doesn’t work, I throw cold water on her face. She sputters, struggling against her restraints as she finally comes to.
