“We thought we could get her back in the vehicle and make sure the vehicle went up in flames.”
“Couldn’t you have just hit them in the head or something?”
“I told Stu that’s what we should have done.” Wagner piped in again.
“Shut up, Wagner,” they both said simultaneously.
I glared at Stu.
“The woman saw us, Scarlet. She recognized me. Dirk looked dead. A security team of his was approaching. I couldn’t be seen there. We ran down the hill.”
“Where did they take Dirk?”
“According to emails, he was taken to Hollywood Presbyterian.”
“You need to find out if he’s still alive.”
“And if he is?”
“Figure out someway to finish him.”
“Kill him in the middle of a hospital?”
“Don’t you military types know a way to kill anyone? Anywhere?”
“We could just give him too much morphine,” Wagner offered.
For once, the drug user’s knowledge might come in handy.
“Yeah. Do that, Stu. Or have Wagner do it.”
“What’s it worth to you, Red?” Wagner asked.
The shit is going to bargain for more money. And he called me Red. I wanted to rip his cock off his scrawny body.
“Just make it happen and you’ll get what you deserve and then some.”
I could always have Stu kill him after he takes care of Dirk. He’s as deep into this as I am. He is also becoming another loose end.And he’s annoying.
Stu glared at Wagner. Then at me.
“All right, Scarlet. I’ll go to Presbyterian and see what I can do.”
“Take care of it, Stu. Or we are both in a lot of trouble.”
“I’ll take care of it.” The look on his face was that determined look he got when he intended to handle something for me. When he thought about protecting me.
I had a soft spot for men that protected me. The Doc had been right, my step-fuckers had fucked me up. They were fucking, twisted monsters and never got what they fully deserved. So when a man offered to protect me—and would fuck the shit out of me—then I was his and did everything to make him mine.
I’d felt that way about Dirk at first until the fucking turned soft and romantic. I didn’t do romantic. I definitely didn’t do soft.
Dirk was soft.
Stu was hard and rough.
I liked hard and rough. I just didn’t love Stu. He was becoming a loose end, too.
