And when she turned to face me, her eyes glistened with an almost yellow color that I couldn’t pull away from.
“Someone call for a cop?” she asked.
My attraction to her dissipated almost immediately, and I turned back to my video game. “I didn't, no.”
The woman chuckled. “Cop hater. They’re a dime a dozen. Suit yourself, then.”
“Finn,” Tanner said.
I saluted him while still playing my game. “Sir, yes sir!”
I heard a beautiful little giggle and turned my head just enough to see the cop--Sloane, I think her name was--giggling. Her smile lit up her yellow eyes and her skin seemed flushed with the color of happiness. It seemed so foreign and out of place, especially with what we had been dealing with for the past few months.
I would have found it welcoming had it not been attached to the one woman that would eventually take us all down. Hell, for all I knew, she was here to find a way to pin all of this shit on us.
I had experience telling me that cops were good at that sort of thing.
“Hey, you guys!” Tanner bellowed. “She’s here!”
But, when no one came running, he looked back over at me. “Where the hell is everyone?”
I shrugged. “Scattered. Some are swimming. Some are eating. Pretty sure Brooks is the one snoring upstairs.”
“He’ll go get the guys so we can introduce you,” Summer said. “Won’t you, Tanner?”
I made a whip-like sound as my fingers pressed the buttons on my game controller wildly, and if looks could have killed the entire block would’ve been leveled. It was worth it, though. These guys were pussy-whipped more than they’d ever admit, and it was hysterical to watch these big, bad, muscly guys take orders from people a third of their fucking size.
But, as the cop walked by, she murmured something only I could hear. “All the best family men are.”
I looked up at her. “Good thing I’m not one, then, huh?”
She giggled and made her way into the kitchen, not bothering to look back at me. And as Tanner went to round up the guys, I went back to my game. They all congregated in the living room, looming over me as I worked my way through another boss fight. But, as Brooks walked up to the television, I paused my game.
“If you so much as even think about it, I’m done. Got it?” I asked.
He stared at me. “We need to be a team right now.”
I scoffed as I stood up. “Says the guy who doesn’t give a shit about what anyone says if they don’t agree with him. You’re no better than Chops most days.”
“Hey!” Tanner barked.
“Enough!” Summer exclaimed.
The room fell silent and I drew in a deep breath. I hated this. I hated all of it. And now, I was stuck babysitting some half-wit-woman who claimed to be a detective. Whatever. Figures that I’d have to do their dirty work while they all slept soundly and got their dicks wet every night.
Do you know how annoying it is to listen to multiple couples grunting and groaning in the middle of the night?
I’d rather gouge my ears off the sides of my head.
“Now that we’re all here, I’d like to introduce you to my sister, Detective Sloane Riley,” Summer said.
Sloane waved. “Pleasure.”
Brooks stepped forward and held out his hand. “The name’s Brooks. I’m the President of the crew.”
She shook his hand. “So, you’re the one making the shit decisions. Good to know.”
I would have died laughing if I didn’t have such a disdain for her already.
Brooks cleared his throat. “Right, well, thank you for agreeing to help us.”
She dropped his hand. “Make no mistake: I’m not here to help you. I’m here to weed out dirty cops who seem to not want to do their job when it comes to this issue you guys have gotten yourselves wrapped up in.”
Tanner looked over at me and I simply shrugged. They were the ones who wanted to bring this uptight bitch into the circle, so they’d have to deal with the consequences. All I had to do was make sure she didn’t get killed or take us down in the process.
Brooks cleared his throat. “Right, well, if you’ll follow me upstairs, Porter and I have been working on a presentation to run down all of what has happened and all of the evidence we’ve gathered so far.”
I grinned. “That what all that snoring was?”
Porter growled at me. “You better shut your fucking--.”
Sloane interjected, though. “He’s right. I heard you all the way down the stairs when we first stepped inside. Don’t get upset with him because he called you out. I don’t play that game, either.”
The room fell silent and I saw Tanner practically sweating bullets over in the corner. But, as Brooks led us all up the stairs, we found ourselves piled into the room him and Raven decided to occupy.
