“I know he knows what he’s doing, but there are dozens of them and one of him. I don’t like the odds, and I don’t like that you’ll be alone.”
Gaspar stared at his brother, remembering the little boy that followed him everywhere. Just a year younger than Gaspar, they were tied together from the minute they set foot on this planet.
“Mon frére, I’ll be okay,” he smirked. “You taught us well.”
“I don’t like it. In fact, I hate it. But I do understand that what you’re doing may be the only way to get inside. You’ve got comms on at all times. We’ll make sure we find a way to connect to the cameras in the facility.”
“We did that,” smiled Victoria. “Oh. Hello. Sorry, I didn’t mean to interrupt. But we, specifically Monroe, did that. He found a way to bypass their homegrown system and feed everything to our system. We’re recording all cameras from all of the homes all the time.”
“Victoria, you’re a gem, honey,” smiled Ghost.
“Thank you,” she grinned, blushing slightly. “We’ve been watching closely, and so far, we haven’t seen any signs of abuse of the residents. What I mean is, there are no physical beatings, pushing them, hitting them, nothing like that. Everyone always seems happy.”
“Happy. Fucking happy juice,” said Nine. “I think they’re giving those residents something to make them compliant.”
“I guess I’ll find out,” said Miller.
“I’ll come with you,” said Antoine.
“No. No, you can’t. You’re not a cop, and we look too much alike. Any one of the brothers showing up, and they’ll suspect something. Hell, they still might connect me to Gaspar.”
“What about me?” asked Kari.
“Babe, you were there with Teddy. He would recognize you. I’ve got to go alone and find a way inside this place.”
“Not exactly alone,” smiled Addie. “I was a cop. Got a cop’s badge to prove it. You’re not going by yourself. I’ll go as your wife, and the tech team can make it look as though we served together; that’s how we met.”
Kari smiled at the other woman, nodding. She knew that even if they had to share a room together, she trusted her husband, and she trusted Addie.
“Do I get a say in this?” frowned Magnus.
“Well, I don’t know,” said Addie. “Do I get a say in all of your ops or security jobs? Do I get to say ‘no’?”
“Point taken. Be careful, babe.”
CHAPTER EIGHTEEN
“Patti, I thought we had something special, honey. It hurts me that you wouldn’t come back with me when I asked. I only did it because I was concerned for you and those people taking advantage of you. I don’t like to be separated from you.”
Mike smiled to himself at his stellar performance. He’d become a professional actor over the years. Portraying the grieving widower or divorcee. He knew how to make a woman completely melt and comply. He was a pro.
“I know,” she said shyly. “It was strange. Just really weird. I wanted to speak to those women, and there was something else making me stay there. I can’t explain it. Forgive me?”
“I may need some time. It felt like a personal betrayal, honey. I just don’t know how we build a future with that kind of behavior,” he pouted in the big lounge chair. She set a box on his lap, wrapped in sleek black paper with a gold ribbon around it.
“This might help,” she smiled, kissing him sweetly. She rubbed a hand between his thighs and he moaned.
Patti was ten years older than him, but she was a damn fine-looking woman. She’d had multiple surgeries to keep her looking that way, but he didn’t care. She was a good fuck, and unlike many women her age, she liked sucking as well. The fact that she was rich and willing only made everything all the sweeter.
“Patti, you don’t have to buy me gifts, honey.”
He smiled at her, knowing what was in the box. He had a dozen of them locked in a spare room along with other items. She continued to rub between his thighs, feeling him harden beneath her hand.
“Just open it,” she said, kissing him.
He opened the box to reveal a Rolex Yacht-Master. Fifty-grand worth of timepiece sitting in his lap.
“Oh, honey. It’s so beautiful. Thank you!” he said exuberantly.
