“What’s up?” He took the exit that would take him home.

“According to the word on the streets, Blue is not dead and he had taken over for Solomon.”

“Okay…so we end him.” He squeezed the wheel.

“What if he has places like Solomon did? What if there are kids in there?” Echo asked.

“Then we do the same thing. We find the locations and kill the son of a bitch.”

“Hang on, Justice,” Echo’s voice grew muffled as if he were handing over the phone.

“Where are you?” Savage said, coming on the line.

“At home.”

“Have you found Fisher?”

The gate to his home slid open and Justice drove through the entrance and pulled into his circular driveway.

“Why?”

He stared out the windshield at Fisher on his front steps.

The sexy assassin stared back.

“I want you to ask him if he personally knows Blue.”

“Yeah, ok.”

“And there’s one more thing.”

Justice waited because Savage’s voice had turned hard, but he also heard the tiredness.

“We got a tip on where Blue is located. I’m pulling all resources together and that means we need to keep Fisher and Rogue out of this.”

“Why?”

“Because it may have ties back to Solomon and that mess is volatile.”

“What about Echo?”

“He’s good, but I have no fucking idea about Fisher or Rogue.”

He had no response because he truly didn’t fucking know. He squeezed the steering wheel in a death grip and held Fisher’s gaze through the bug-speckled windshield.

“I have Wrath handling Rogue. You take care of Fisher,” Savage said.

“Okay. I’ll call you later.” Justice ended the call, grabbed the bag of groceries, and slid from his truck.

As he crossed the distance between them, his chest tightened. Just looking at Fisher made the lump in his throat grow.

Fisher stood up from the steps, looking nervous. Which was odd for a guy who killed people for a living.

Was it because of him?

Did he make Fisher nervous? He couldn’t say he wasn’t happy about it if that was the case, because he was.

Instead of speaking, Justice reached out and yanked Fisher into his arms. The feel of the man’s slender body sent his heart racing.
