“Then it can’t come from us,” he says.
“Jean Claude,” I supply.
“We don’t want to owe Jean Claude,” Reid says. “That’s holding us prisoner as well. He’d go after our women.”
Blake’s phone rings and he glances down at the number and frowns before hitting the answer button. “Abbie?”
I stiffen, sharing a look with Reid before watching Blake’s face. “When?” he asks. “No. You did absolutely right by calling me. Don’t do anything. I’ve got this handled. More soon.” He disconnects.
“What the fuck?” I demand. “What’s handled?”
“You. She called me because she was afraid you’d go after your father.”
“I told her I was going after him. Damn it.” I scrub my jaw. “What is she thinking?”
“That your father went after you this morning.”
My eyes narrow and ice slides down my spine. “What does that mean?”
“Yes,” Reid states. “What does that mean?”
“Your father kidnapped Dexter from the dog walker and then called Abbie and told her to come get Dexter. He told her that if she told you, he’d let Dexter run free in traffic.”
I curse and stand up. “That’s fucking priceless. Fuck Superman. I’m going to kill him.” I turn to the door and Savage steps in front of me.
“Think first,” Savage says while Reid joins me.
“Move, Savage,” Reid orders.
“Both of you deep breathe and talk to me,” Blake interjects.
Reid and I whirl on him. “We need to deal with this,” I say. “Now, before my damn dog gets hurt.”
“Abbie called me for a reason, Gabe,” Blake replies, on his feet now. “She doesn’t want you to end up in jail. What’s your father’s endgame?”
Reid looks at me. “He doesn’t know we made the agreement with Jean Claude. He’s trying to get it signed.”
“And he wants his money from the real estate development deal.” My lips thin. “The same reason he had Abbie’s ex-husband killed. Damn it, I need to get to Dexter.”
“We’ll go together,” Blake says. “You and me. Just you and me.” He pats the gun at his hip. “And my weapon. If anyone takes action, it’s me and if you press that, I’ll hit you with the damn thing.”
“I’m coming,” Reid replies. “You need me. He’ll use me against Gabe and he can’t do that when I’m there.”
“Well, fuck,” Blake murmurs. “I guess we’re all going.”
I eye Savage. “Get Abbie. Take her home so when I get there with Dexter she’ll be able to see him.”
“What do you want me to tell her?”
“That she’s right. I’m not my father.”
With that, Reid and I exchange a look of understanding. We might want to hurt that bastard, but all the women in our lives,including our mother, want him saved. So we’ll save him. Unless he hurts my damn dog. Then he dies.
