“You’d be surprised what they can do”

True, but I didn’t want to know

I said, sliding down and trying to get comfortable, “We’re in one piece Raize said they’re in one piece Let’s just get there and figure out what to do”

“He said, ‘We got her’”

“What?”

Jake atchingme before he turned back to the road “He said ‘hen it should’ve been ‘I got her’ Who’s with him?”

I got quiet But, da?”

He frowned again, then his eyebrows shot up “You kidding ht ere over that”

“If it’s so with Raize, then that’s all you need to know So I gotta ask again, why are you asking?”

“I’ to see if you know, and it’s evident you do You knew before he took off or are you just as surprised as me? Our boss isn’t one to ith someone random”

I still didn’t knohy he was asking “Interrogate Raize e see hiht knoho it is, but I don’t know any of the specifics and I don’t feel co me all of this You either trust Raize or you don’t”

I was studying hiht around the mouth

That was it

He didn’t trust Raize

Why didn’t he trust Raize? When had this changed?

Then a different thought occurred to me “Is this because of your woman?”

He jerked, his head whipping to mine “What?”

It was about his woman

This wasn’t good, not at all

“Are you not going to cut her loose?”

His jaw clenched, and his hand tightened over the steering wheel He jerked up a shoulder, roughly “I don’t know It’s probably the wrong ti from a cartel You know?”

“Just don’t do anything stupid Please talk to me or Cavers before you do?”

He sent rin “Gus count?”

I grinned “Maybe”

He chuckled, but it was strained

We got to the rest stop, parking on one side of the building

Jake started to reach for Gus’ leash, but I got there first “I’ll walk hio ahead”

Cavers shot ht away

Jake was looking around “Single woood idea”

“Go I’ll be fine”
