I sling my holster on and pack my favorite Ruger.
“Jesus,” Violet moans behind me. I look over my shoulder at her.
“What?”
“There’s nothing that makes me want to fall to my knees and suck your cock more than seeing you suiting up for a job.” She feigns swooning before she sits on the edge of the bed to tug her boots on.
“Wish I could say the same for you,” I say, as she slides her new knife into her ankle sheath before she reaches for her new Wilson.
“I know, I know,” she says with an eye roll. “Watching me getmyweapons makes you want to… I dunno, handcuff me to your bed or something.”
“Don’t need the threat of a weapon to bring out the handcuffs.”
She smiles and gives me a coy look.
“Alright, where to first?” she asks, as she heads to the bathroom and quickly fixes her hair and makeup. “Pastor What’s-his-name?”
“Yep. See what he has to tell us.”
Suddenly, she pops her head out of the bathroom, her toothbrush shoved into the side of her mouth. “Way a mim,” she mumbles.
“Huh?”
She takes her brush out of her mouth. “Wait a minute. Nowwait a minute.Cain, what’s the typical payout for a hit?”
I shrug, testing the safety on my Ruger. “Hugely varied. Could be ten thousand, could be ten mil. Why?”
“Your rules went through my mind while I slept.”
I nod, pleased. It’s partly why I went over the rules before we went to bed. She’s fucking brilliant, and her mind works even when she’s at rest. I knew she’d wake and have them memorized.
“Yeah?”
“Assassins get paid up front. Right?”
“Yes.”
“Like there’s no assassin layaway plan or credit or anything. Cash only.”
“Right.”
“And… they get paidlots.Last I checked, the average annual salary of a typical assassin was about eighty million dollars a year.”
I nod. “Right.”
She throws her hands up in the air. “Then… where’s my parents’ money? If my father was an assassin… he was worth money.Bigmoney. Right?”
I nod. “And if you weren’t supposed to exist, and no one knew they had a child…” my voice trails off.
“Right?”
“I’ll call Joe. Put him on it.”
If she has money owed to her and someone fucking took it…
She nods, heading back to the bathroom, and soon we head out. She takes a minute before we go to get to her knees and pat Romulus and Remus, kissing each of their furry heads.
“You are crazy about those dogs.”
