“What?”

He’d been called into the Erebus office a few minutes ago and nobody was talking.

Savage finally drew in a breath and let out a deep sigh.

“It appears that a new group of assassins moved into Southern California,” Savage said and then went on to tell them what he knew, which wasn’t much. “They answer to a man who goes by the name of Blue.”

“Blue?” Echo gaped at Savage.

“Who the fuck is Blue?” Ice snarled, wrapping an arm protectively around Echo’s shoulder.

“He sold boys to Solomon,” Echo said with a hurried swallow.

The room went quiet.

“Did he sell Fisher to Solomon?” Justice asked, feeling sick to his stomach.

“No.” Echo shook his head with a frown.

Relief flooded through Justice, but his palms turned sweaty.

“Do you know what he looks like?” Savage said.

“From years ago, yeah. But are you sure it’s Blue? I thought Solomon killed him.”

“Not from what intel we’ve gathered. Echo, if you can get with Real, he has an artist that can make a sketch.”

“Yeah, I can do that.”

“The rest of you, I’m going to have you do some research. Find me information on Blue.”

“Will do.” Justice stood.

“And Justice?” Savage said and waited for him to turn around. “Why isn’t Fisher answering my calls?” Savage eyed him and Justice glanced away.

Fisher had been MIA over the past few days.

And Justice knew why. It was because he’d pushed Fisher to talk when he hadn’t been ready.

And it had cost him.

He rubbed a hand down his face. He needed to stop doing that shit to Fisher.

The man would or wouldn’t tell him in his own good time. And nothing he did could change that fact. So here he was, in the dark about Fisher’s whereabouts and past.

Bottom line was that Fisher didn’t trust him enough to share or even tell him where he was going and that fucking hurt.

But he wasn’t giving up.

If baby steps were what he needed to do, then so be it.

“Find out what he’s been doing,” Savage said, yanking his wandering thoughts back to the present.

“I’ll ask him.”

A half an hour later, Echo called him and Justice answered the phone.

He’d just gone to the store and was on his way home.
