“Yeah. We’re good.” Cash replies, excitement in his voice.
“I think a few people may have gotten picked up,” Luc adds. “I saw some cars heading into the lot that we were using.”
“Shit,” I curse.
“It’s okay, they’ve already gotten Ryan out; chances are he’s already at the hospital by now.” Cash replies.
“Yeah, and you scared him badly enough that I doubt he’d be stupid enough to tell them anything if he gets questioned at the hospital,” Luc adds with amusement in his voice.
“He knows that it would be signing his death,” I reply.
Riot looks at me as I see Trick’s eyes glance at me in the rearview mirror; I shrug. I said it, and I’ll follow through on it. I’m hoping that the police actually do their jobs and charge him. Someone like him shouldn’t be on the streets.
We haven’t been driving for very long when lights flash behind us.
I glance back through the back window and grin, “We’re being followed.”
“Cops?” Cash asks.
“Yep, are you guys clear?” Trick asks, not sounding worried about our current situation. It's not the first time that we’ve been chased by the cops, and it won't be the last.
“Yeah, we’re clear,” Luc replies.
“Good. Can someone contact Billy and double-check that they gave the talk to Ryan before they dropped him off at the hospital?” Trick asks.
“Rafe says he’s on it,” Cash replies, and then adds, “Do you need any backup?”
Trick grins as he takes yet another shortcut, “Nah, they’re already falling behind. A few more turns, and they will lose us completely.”
“Good,” Cash says.
“Aww, I was hoping that it would last a bit longer,” I moan.
“Seriously, did you not get enough of an adrenaline rush from the fight?” Trick questions.
I shrug, “I did, but a bit more of an adrenaline rush never hurt anyone.”
“Actually, I think it did,” Luc says.
“Are you still being followed?” Cash asks.
“Yeah, they’re being pretty persistent,” Trick replies.
Someone’s phone pings and Luc’s voice comes through the speaker from the other car, “It’s Trev, he said that a donation was made to his mom for her medical bills and that they’re now covered for as long as they need to be. He knows that Jensen was behind it and that he’s a fucker, but thank you. He said he would’ve texted him, but there’s no way he would’ve told the rest of us that he messaged.”
I pull a face, “Yeah, he’s not wrong.”
“You donated enough to cover all of her medical bills indefinitely?” Cash asks.
The pride in his eyes is making me uncomfortable, so all I do is nod and look back out of the window to see how close the cops are.
“There’s more,” Luc says, and I could kiss him from saving me from answering Cash, “he said that thanks to a stroke of luck, Ryan was put in the same room as him, and he had no idea that he's there thanks to the curtain separators. He didn’t say anything to the cops but they were really interested in some reports that they’d gotten through about local girls. His father is a doctor at the hospital, and Trev heard them arguing; he’s really fucking embarrassed and was talking about paying them off and having to move. He was saying that the town is too small, and he’s going to send Ryan and his brother to some all-dudes boarding school.”
“No way,” I interrupt, with a huge grin. “I mean, I would’ve preferred for him to go down for it, but I’ll take what I can get, and having him out of this town and nowhere near any other women would be good enough.”
“Nah, Richie won’t allow that. Even if they move and successfully pay the girls off, he’ll still pursue it; Ryan’s fucked.” Trick replies with a pleased smile.
“He’s definitely not getting away with it,” Luc replies. “Oh, shit. He just sent another message; his brother is there at the moment; he’s the one that gave the tip to the cops.”
