Wes was going to have to give him something before he would spill anything. He wasn't a man who liked to share, and certainly not when it came to Monica.
"I protect my friends and I consider Monica one of them. Besides, Trista called you sexy and that pissed off my team leader. I'm not a fan of the people who piss Falcon off."
Luke barked out a laugh. Most of the time people didn't live up to the legends that others created for them. Wes appeared to be the exception to the rule. He was exactly as people described him.
"Trista sounds like a troublemaker, but Falcon doesn't need to worry about me. I've only got one woman on my mind."
"That's what I wanted to hear. Keep it that way and we won't have problems."
The phone call ended before he got a chance to respond. Luke debated his next move. He could go back inside the office and ask Caden about the search he did, but that could potentially lead to him staying longer than he wanted.
Instead, he moved to his truck and decided the conversation could happen over the phone.
"You could've come back in to talk to me since you stood outside for so long."
He should've known his friend was watching.
"This allowed me to kill two birds with one stone."
Caden laughed. "Did you need something?"
"How easy was it to get the information on Westley James' men?"
"Too easy. Someone made sure the information was available to me."
So Wes had been right.
"Why do you think he would do that?"
Luke had worked with Caden long enough to know the facial expressions his friend was making while he thought about that question.
"If I had to guess, one of his guys looked you up first and decided we weren't a threat, so allowing us to do the same only seemed fair."
It made sense. If Falcon had been sitting there when he first pulled up to Monica's place, he would've had ample time to run his plate and figure out who he was.
"Why are you asking?"
"I got a call from Wes."
Caden whistled. "Damn. How did that go?"
He thought back to their conversation. Now that he wasn't right in the middle of having it, he could say it went normal. As expected, considering what he had heard about Wes.
"Just a friendly warning. The man protects his teams and those he cares about. Pretty much what one would expect."
"That's good."
"I just pulled up in front of Monica's building. I'll talk to you later."
Ryker was on the move before Luke finished hanging up the phone.
His friend tapped on his window. Once he had it rolled down, Ryker leaned down and asked, "What are you doing here?"
"Figured I would switch out with you guys. Give you a break since it would seem like Monica's staying inside all day."
His friend could see right through his bullshit and smiled. "You just don't want me near your girl."
Luke didn't respond. There was no use. Ryker knew Monica was his. His friend slapped his palm on the door and gave him a wink. "Have fun. Catch you later."
