“I live out here Brysen’s little sister heard the com I saw you arrive and figured I would wait until the rest of the boys in blue took off before co on”
“You live here?”
He nodded andthat looked way too nice to be anywhere in the Point and definitely way too slick to be on these cru docks
“My old man used this place to stash his mistresses The property owner is shady as hell, so when all that stuff with Brysen’s stalker came to a head, I had him transfer the deed over to her nao I like it out here It’s quiet, and when Booker got out of the hospital after he was shot, I s when I’irls have soraded the security systeet on Bax’s good side No one gets in or out withoutit There are cameras everywhere”
Noah Booker was an ex-con and an all-around badass He was a lot like h to know that Race was the one that was going to be running things in the dark and in the back roootten in on the ground floor He had offered hiirl found herself caught in the sights of a deadly stalker Booker had al to keep Brysen and her sister safe, so it didn’t surprise ht hand and was relying on hiirls as well
I rubbed a thumb acrossI lifted an eyebrow at Race and asked, “Is there any open space in the complex?”

“Why? What’s wrong with your place?”
I had a small Craftsman-style house that wasn’t exactly out of the Point but it was far enough at the edge of the city that when I did sleep I did so without worrying too etting kicked in It was just a place to store ot a few h to take Reeve, with all the people that currently wanted a piece of her She would be too isolated and alone if I left her there while I continued to hunt down Roark
“Nothing is wrong with my place, but I’m in theout for a feeeks”
“That situation involves a certain dark haired beauty that’s back in town?”
Goddaood, really
“Yeah, it does, and I don’t want to hear anything about it The guy that torched your car, the guy that worked over Roxie, the guy that tortured the poor girl and left her here on this dock like she was trash, is not only after the Point but he’s after Reeve with a vengeance She gaveto be the bait we use to draw him out, so I need to do what I can to keep her safe Help me out, Race”
