“She was fucking magnificent,” Baxter adds.
“Fuuuuuuck, is anyone else fucking hard as fucking rock right now?” Rebel groans, adjusting himself under the table. Raven laughs, sounding relieved.
“Damn, I do wish I could have been there,” Thorn says.
Ace just smiles.
“Right, yeah, okay. So Baxter and Raven have taken care of Cordelia.”
“Cuntdelia,” Thorn corrects me.
“Yes. But now we have to discuss what we’re going to do with...erm…”
“The body?” Baxter supplies helpfully.
“Well, yes,” I say.
“You have lots of options,” Baxter offers. “It depends what you’re after.”
“Well she can’t just disappear. She’s too high profile for that.”
“Shame,” Ace mutters under his breath.
“Okay so we need the body to go through my coroner. I already suspected as much and had him on standby. He’ll rule the cause of death whatever I tell him, so what’ll it be? What do you want to tell the masses?”
“Something scandalous!” Thorn exclaims.
“No.” I shake my head. “I don’t want anything that could be cast back on Raven. I don’t want any gossip about how her wayward granddaughter put her in an early grave.”
“I don’t care,” Raven says, shrugging.
“I know, but humour me on this.”
“Can we at least say she had a heart attack after there was a home invasion?” Rebel suggests.
“I still think a sex scandal would be awesome,” Thorn adds.
“Just say she had a heart attack in her sleep or something, I don’t care,” Raven says again.
“Okay, the funeral. It’s going to be a big deal.”
“She doesn’t deserve a funeral,” Rebel mutters. Raven nods.
“I agree, but I think we have to have one.”
“Outside. No church.” Raven shudders. “No wake. No celebration of life. I want the absolute minimum we can get away with.”
“Okay. Leave it with me,” I promise her. “It’ll be fine.”
“And Nix isn’t going.”
“Of course,” I agree. “How are we going to tell Nix?”
“Once the media announces her death, I’ll talk to her.”
“Okay, princess. Let us know if you want to do it together.”
“Okay. Thanks.”
