“I made you guys a pile of sliders,” Zena said as she handed her tray around. “Those are pulled pork and coleslaw, and there’s crumbed chicken with my own spicy mayo.”

“Yum.” I reached for a mini chicken burger. “I’m Tyler, by the way.”

She grinned at me. “I’m Zena, Blade’s fiancée. Nice to meet you.”

Blade handed out drinks from the ice box. As we ate the sliders, all of us watched Cobra.

The monitor on his computer filled with lines of green typing.

“Yes!” Cobra rubbed his hands together. “That’s promising.”

“What is it?” Viper barked.

Cobra glared at us over his shoulder. “Just give me a minute, will you? I’ve managed to find some data, but I have no idea what it is yet.”

“Maybe it will lead us to his money,” Captain Watts said.

“Or a list of his assets.” Aria’s eyes lit up, a hint of a smile on her face.

“Maybe we’ll find some info on Angelsong Orphanage,” I added.

Whisper clicked her fingers. “That’s right. I heard you guys went out there. Did you find anything?”

I swept my gaze to Aria and Captain Watts, wondering if they would reveal the details to these people.

Watts groaned. “Yeah. Unfortunately. The body count was at fourteen last time I checked.”

I gasped. “Fourteen!”

“Yeah. All juveniles. I have a rotten feeling there’s going to be more.”

A phone rang, and the four of us fished into our pockets.

“It’s Levi,” Maya squealed, showing us the screen on her phone. She swiped to answer and put the call on speaker. “Levi! We’re all here. Is your baby okay?”

“Yes,” Levi said, choking on his word. “We have a baby boy.”

Maya squealed so loud it was a wonder the other computer screen didn’t crack.

Everyone cheered.

“Is Billie okay?” Zena asked.

“Yes, she’s amazing,” Levi said. “You should see our boy. He’s beautiful. He has Billie’s eyes and my blond hair.”

“Do you have a name for him yet?” Aria asked.

There was a pause on the line.

“Hi, everyone.”

“Billie!” Maya cheered. “Congratulations. Are you okay?”

“Yes, I’m fine. Just a bit tired.”

“Do you have a name for your bubby yet?” Maya asked again.

“Yes, our boy’s name is Jackson Silva Foster.”
