“You’re a fucking idiot,” he says cheerfully.
I grit my teeth and Logan’s eyes flash with humor. Fucking prick.
He jabs a thumb back at the closed door.
“She know your little secret?”
“Why are you here?”
Don’t get me wrong. Logan’s not a bad guy, but he knows too much, something he likes to remind me of every fucking chance he gets. Unfortunately, Savannah loves him. I know he’d die for her, just like Charlie for Bailey . . . but if either of them hurt my sisters, I’d make sure no one ever heard from them again.
Logan’s not the only one good with a bullet.
“I heard you’ve got family therapy next week.”
“That why you came? To remind me for my mother?”
Logan just chuckles, shaking his head.
“Maybe you can all chat about why the sister of your stepfather’s mistress is working for you there.”
Jesus fucking Christ.
“Keep your mouth shut.” I don’t need my family breathing down my neck about this.
“You know they’ll find out.”
“It’s none of their concern.”
Logan narrows his eyes, inspecting me in that annoying way he does when he’s trying to get inside my head. Some FBI shit I don’t like.
“Does this have anything to do with the leading lady in Parker’s fucked up line of bullshit?”
“And if it does?”
“Just making sure you know where your loyalties lie.”
“That’s rich,” I scoff and Logan cocks a brow.
“She’s dangerous, Carpenter.”
“So are you.”
His lip perks up at the corner, a devilish smile pulling on his face. “I am. So are you. Which is why I’m here. Parker’s dying.”
The room buzzes with silence.
This has got to be a fucking joke.
I open my mouth to ask, but he cuts me off.
“Brain cancer.” He sucks in a deep breath. “They won’t let him out, but with his year left to live, they aren’t prosecuting him any more than they already have.”
“So they’re going to drop it . . . just like that?”
“Yeah. Just like that.”
I shove out of the chair, nearly toppling it over on the ground. I need to walk. I need to punch something. I need to fuck my pretty little receptionist, but we all know, none of those things are going to happen.
