“No one has friends in the Point, at least that’s what I thought I’ht” Now her voice cracked a little and I noticed that her bottohtened than she was letting on Whatever else Bax had been ready to lay into her about was cut off when Titus suddenly appeared and sh towo

“Leave her alone, asshole She’s trying to help” Titus sounded annoyed and frustrated in equal measure

The woh to bolt while she had an opening She left without saying anything to either brother

“Who on earth was that?”

Bax retaliated by ra his elbow hard into Titus’s very flat belly, which had the older brother sucking in a breath and glaring as his sibling Bax turned his dark eyes on me and bit out, “Reeve Black She’s the person who told Novak Dovie was on her own the night he had his guys grab her off the street She got into bed with him over a blood debt and he called it in and used it to hurt Race and Dovie She should be in jail for capital murder, but she cut a major deal with the feds and went into witness protection She’s supposed to be as far away from here as they could put her I told this idiot”—he pointed at his glowering brother—“if I ever saw her again I wasn’t going to be responsible for my actions”

“And I told you to stop saying shit like that to me Remember, I’m a cop”

“Why are we here, Detective?”

Titus scowled at Bax and flicked a narrow-eyed look at er and motioned for us to move closer to him

“I got a call fro all the witnesses in the Novak case” I saw his Adam’s apple bounce up and down as he met Bax’s hard stare “Race and Dovie’s old ht in the secure location WITSEC found for hiive the na suppliers south of the border, and all kinds of other inforet their hands on in this case He had a full security detail, was located out in the et to him”

I bit down on my lip and shared a worried look with Bax “How are they handling the news?”

“Dovie is a sweetheart, so I think she’s le word The asshole tried to have Novak kill her, so I think she’s just relieved that that’s one threat she’ll never have to worry about again Race just kind of zoned out; I’ve never seen hih” He rocked back on his heels and put a hand on the butt end of the pistol attached to his belt “With Hart so insulated, we know the hit had to co his move and relocation”
