That regardless of what cops or anyone else throws at us, she’s still ours.
That we’re still gonna do whatever the fuck we need to do to protect her.
Us.
Our attorney shifts his attention to our girlfriend. “Dollar?”
Bunny’s headshake has Nolan motion his head at me to do exactly what it is I was gonna do anyway.
I extend the dollar to Garcia who simply uses his eyes to indicate she needs to be the one to hand it to him.
Giving the money to our woman leads to her handing it over to him. “And now you’re officially my client as well. I’m sure I’ll get your name in just a moment.” Garcia shoves the cash in one pocket and bluntly asks, “What the fuck is really going on here, Nolan?”
“They think I know where their missing witness is, plus The Kid – whose real name you now finally know – murdered someone in self-defense last night – they probably don’t know about that yet but will soon – and Rabbit – er – Bunny…Bunny Abernathy – although you might hear people call her Miss Ripley – is being stalked back and forth across the country by her mega rich, mega powerful, dickhead of an ex-boyfriend that I’m pretty sure has some sort of hand in all this shit.”
“Ohhhhhh,” Garcia casually nods a second time, “just a run of the mill clusterfuck.”
“Aren’t those your favorite?” my boyfriend lightly teases, sparking both a smirk of amusement and twinge of jealousy.
Is he…flirting?
He’s not fucking flirting.
Why do I feel like he’s flirting?
Bunny drops a hand onto my thigh and delivers a soothing rub of reassurance like she can sense another race of the wrong topic starting.
Right.
This is about us.
He got Garcia here to protect us.
To take care of us.
Jealousy can’t drive.
Probably shouldn’t even be allowed in the fucking vehicle.
Damn sure nowhere near the track.
“Let’s get the equipment out of my trunk and give everything a sweep before we continue, okay?”
We all nod together.
“And I don’t give a fuck who…but someone is making my ass coffee the minute we get upstairs.”
“That’ll be The Kid,” Nolan announces with a crooked grin. “Makes a mean brew and sucks an even meaner dick.”
There’s no stopping my mouth from dropping.
“Close that shit,” my boyfriend playfully scolds. “You don’t have to prove it.”
The croak noise that escapes gets Bunny giggling again, a sound I know we both feared we wouldn’t hear so freely again.
“The Kid it is,” Garcia agrees while motioning his head over to his nearby Audi. “For the coffee.” He shoots Nolan a good-natured wink. “I’ll continue to look elsewhere for the latter.”
More laughter leaves the group prompting me to join them.
