“Mother fucker,” Riot curses.
“Yeah, he said Ryan was freaking the fuck out. Trev thinks Jensen really scared him, although he’s not surprised in the slightest.” Luc adds.
“They’ll be gone in the next couple of weeks,” Cash says, “there’s no way that they stick around after this.”
“Jensen,” Luc says.
I narrow my eyes but reply, “Yeah?”
“He said that he’ll pay you back one day, he promises,” Luc replies.
I clear my throat, “I’ll message him. I don’t want that.”
Riot chuckles, “I know Trev as well as you. There is no way that he’s going to accept that. He clearly knows you well enough because he made sure that he didn’t go through you but through us instead.”
I grunt but don’t bother replying.
“Rafe said that he’s just got a text back from Billy,” Luc says, once again taking the limelight off me, although he did put it back on me in the first place, so I’m still not pleased.
“Hang on, I’ll read it; his guys dropped off Ryan not that long ago; they gave him the talk about talking to the cops if they showed up, and he was absolutely terrified. They heard about what was going on at the Pit and waited in the lot to make sure that they were nowhere near it. He said they’re going to make sure that the family is run from town. Rafe said he’ll message back and fill them in with what Trev said. They’re going to need to tread carefully, but it’s out of our hands now. I think it’s safe to say that calling them on their shit worked.” Luc explains.
“I still want to watch them closely,” Trick replies.
“When do we not?” Cash chuckles. “That’s it for the Pit though right? It’s now indefinitely done.”
Trick nods, although Cash can’t see, and then replies, “Yeah, I think it’s for the best; if it becomes safe at a later date, then we’ll revisit it, but for now, it's done for. Tomlinson needs to sort their shit out anyway.”
“I’m good with that,” I reply, all of the others agreeing too.
“Might be nice not to organize shit every week,” Luc adds.
One of the guys says something, but I’m distracted by the second set of lights flashing behind us.
“Here, we go.” I grin.
Trick rolls his eyes, but I can see his giant smile; he loves this as much as I do.
“You got another one?” Cash asks.
“Yep,” Riot replies, sounding excited and not worried.
Cash chuckles, “Do you want backup?”
Trick, smirks, "Sure come and play, it’s been a while.”
“Already on the way,” Cash responds immediately, and we all start laughing.
Atlas may be missing, and the Pit may be over for now, but at least some things haven’t changed. Getting chased by the cops is pretty standard for us, and I don’t think I’ll ever not find it fun.
Chapter Twenty-One
Atlas
I’ve been sitting in an apartment block that’s still under construction for the last hour, waiting for my target to arrive. Our intel told us that he would be home by nine, but that was two hours ago.
“Alaric, are you sure he’s coming back from his trip today?” I ask through the earpiece.
“Yes, the intel was pretty solid,” Alaric replies, although he doesn’t sound too sure, which is concerning. “Rage, can you double-check the flight times?”
