My eyes widened.
He nodded, smiling ruefully. "We have a record of everywhere you were. You were tracked to Raven's warehouse. You were tracked to this hellhole. We only got it once we actually pinpointed you. Until then we just got a lot of nothing. Once we got a fix, we got everything. It can be used as evidence."
I smiled. Good. "And here. We have enough here?"
"We have the four of you. More than enough. Even if statements didn't matter, there's a record on your body." He looked sick and angry and I didn't hurry him off the topic. He had a right to feel that way. I wasn't going to try and talk him down from his anger.
I breathed in through my nose. Even doing that hurt. The shoulder was a bitch. "You have any magic rainforest potions that will make me stop hurting without getting me addicted again?" I bit my lip because I was trying to sound light but I was really, really fucking hopeful.
Cole gave me his mischievous upside down triangle smile, looking a lot like the movie Loki. "I have something that will make you stop hurting. I have something else that will make you simply not notice you're hurting." He glanced back over his shoulder. The EMTs were starting to move toward us. "And I can always distract you totally from that little pain by giving you something else to concentrate on."
I was sitting on the edge of the gurney. Every time anyone tried to move me back I resisted and no one had forced me. Probably it looked like nerves. I realized no one knew about the brand yet. I started to tell Cole, and stopped. He'd just suggested spanking me to distract me from the pain of a gunshot wound. The man was impossible. He didn't play the role of sexual sadist and Master. He was. If I told him now about the brand I'd be turned over and stripped down while everyone and sundry stared at my ass.
Best to save that for the hospital.
Outside the bus the driver held up two fingers. I nodded. Two more minutes and they were transporting me. I'd actually had enough of teams of men transporting me to places I didn't really want to go. But I'd just have to put up with it this one more time.
"I want to talk to the girls," I said to Cole.
"We can transport them with us. They've got the option of getting checked out." The way he said it I knew no one was going to force them, whether that was standard protocol or protocol put in by a billionaire.
It didn't matter. It was help and I'd take it.
We nodded at the attendants. The EMTs from the second bus released Lettie, Mia and Nikki and they came onboard. Someone outside the bus slammed the door and smacked the flat of his hand against it.
The driver put the ambulance in gear and we rolled off Bevington's property and into the bright morning.
