“That’s okay. Did Rory call anyone tonight? I didn’t hear from her,” he said with concern in his tone, and Diesel sighed.

“No. Rivera said they didn’t either. I asked him earlier when she didn’t call me. If something was wrong, the prison would’ve called him and Josie. Hopefully, she’s just having too much fun.”

“Ty’s going down to visit tomorrow with Hunter and Marco, so they’ll be able to fill us in on it when they get back,” Lukas pointed out. “We’re going down on Thursday. Feel free to come with us, if you want. Just call them to let them know.”

“Skeet won’t let me this week. We have loads of shit to do, and I’m not supposed to let it interfere with work,” he grumbled, sipping his beer.

“I’ll beat him up again, if you want?” I offered, both of them giving me a dirty look. “What?”

“No more fighting. We don’t need that shit,” Diesel grunted, checking his phone. “I should head home. I’ll call you if I hear anything about Rory. Sorry to ruin your night.”

“Nothing could ruin our night, trust me,” I grinned, Lukas’ face flaming and making Diesel raise an eyebrow.

“On that note, I’m going. Thanks for the beer.”

“Don’t be a stranger,” I replied, giving him a nod. “We’re here if you need us.”

He gave me a grateful smile before leaving, and Lukas turned in my arms to playfully bite my pec.

“Coming back to bed now?”

“Yeah. You’re in a good mood,” I said with a smirk, grabbing a handful of his ass.

“I’m too tired to fuck again, but we’re doing that in the morning,” he chuckled, tugging me towards the stairs. “C’mon, I can’t sleep without you.”

I felt a little bad for him waking up alone after being that vulnerable together, but he didn’t seem upset about it.

“Sleep time,” I promised, taking his hand and switching off the lights as we went.

“Can we wait to tell Rory until she gets out? I don’t really want to do that over the phone or in front of people,” he said as we got into bed and got comfortable.

“Yeah, we can wait. I wonder what she’s doing right now?”

“Lexi, probably,” he grumbled, making me laugh.

“I don’t think they’re that into each other.”

“Doesn’t mean I’m not jealous. Lexi can see her all the time and we have to schedule appointments,” he huffed, curling into me.

“She’ll be out soon,” I reminded him, really hoping I was right.

Marco

“They had an attack in the prison today,” I said as I sat on the couch at Hunter’s with the laptop, hearing his footsteps hurry in from his office.

“What? Is that why she didn’t call? Is she hurt again? How do you know?” he asked quickly, the panic obvious in his voice. He was such a sucker for her.

I spun the laptop around for him to see, showing him I’d hacked their database to pull some files.

“She’s not hurt. It looks like her and Lexi are the suspected attackers but there’s no proof. It was a planned attack. Your little princess also got into a fight in the laundry room this afternoon with a newbie too. She wasn’t punished, but the newbie got put in the hole.”

“You hacked them again?” he growled, but he sat beside me to take the laptop to read over the incident report. “Who’s the newbie? Do you think it’s the Soldiers’ connection?”

“Some Tameka Vines chick. No idea if she’s connected to them. The girl that got attacked today by Rory and Lexi seems to run with a bunch of girls that got put in the hole today though. One of Lexi’s girls, Kat Mila, was part of the fight that put them all in there too. Coincidence?”

He snorted, giving me a glance. “You know damn well Lexi set it all up for her own benefit.”

“It’s smart. Get rid of the other girl’s crew, block some cameras, and get the girl alone. Security was apparently distracted by a guard and didn’t see anything happening until the cameras were back to normal, so nothing was reported for an hour. The same guard had taken Lexi and Rory from their work stations before they returned without him. Shit, do you think they bribed him with pussy?”
