I looked down at the pad. In Kira’s very girl handwriting was proof I was trusted.
No, that I was family.

My eyes flicked to Kira.
Her smirk said enough but the added, “Don’t take the semen, if you’re in season” was the best welcome to the family any of them could give me.
Crazy, I know.
“Still needs work, Mini-Me.” Zane chuckled.
“Listen up, Dimples. This is harder than you think when you don’t have internet memes to guide you.”
“You should start with vagina and see what rhythms with that.”
“China,” I tossed out on a shrug.
“That sucked, you’re fired,” Zane announced. “Read up on Nebraska’s intel. I want a mission plan by…” He stopped and looked over at Layla then restarted, “Layla wants a mission plan by ten A.M. tomorrow morning, then Silver’s rolling out.”
“What he said.” Layla rolled her eyes. “And great work, Nebraska.”
Damn.
That felt good coming from Layla.
But the pride that was shining in Easton’s eyes felt better.
TWENTY-NINE
“This could get messy, Dove.” Cash winked at me as we trekked through the woods behind Wentworth’s mansion.
The Zillow listing called it a magnificent single-family residence. I suppose you could call it that if a single family needed eight-thousand square feet, five bedrooms, hand carved railings from Mexico, Venetian chandeliers handmade in Italy, six fireplaces, a glass conservatory, an elevator, and a rooftop terrace. Yes, all of this from a real estate listing along with the floorplan including measurements on the home and surrounding garden. The only thing the listing didn’t give up was the gate code.
People really needed to be more careful.
And the woods Cash and I were now carefully navigating to gain entrance to the property from the rear was easily seen with Google Maps and measured using Google Earth.
Easy-peasy-lemon-squeezy.
Google Maps also provided the helpful information that both houses that flanked the rear had pools. So yesterday I donned a polo proudly announcing I worked for Aqua Pools and visited both houses to offer pool services while scoping out the best way to enter the woods unseen. Both owners invited me in. Both walked me through their homes to the backyard. All of this captured on a tiny camera disguised as a button.
Bam.
I had what I needed.
While I was doing that, Smith and Jonas were across the street from the mansion doing the same thing only offering landscaping services. Easton had parked one street over with Cash should we need backup. Layla and Kira were in the Airbnb we’d rented a few miles away watching our feeds. Lincoln and Zane had still been in Annapolis, only making the trip to Lorton, Virginia last night.
“Messy how?” I asked, stepping over a branch.
“Zane’s in play. Messy could mean anything.”
Truth.
“Lucky for me I’m not squeamish.”
Cash chuckled.
