“See you there,” he said.

Maura got back into the vehicle, and they pulled away from the curb.

When they were heading down the street, Remmy had the location on his phone, and a mission at hand.

Only, he couldn’t wait to get the job done, and then get back to his girl.

His family was going to bust his balls.

Big-time.

Apparently, when you found the girl that freed your heart, you didn’t care how fast it moved. You buckled in for the journey.

It was going to be a wild ride.

Same Time

Trouble Brewing

It was shit like this that was maddening to him. Thomas Benard was pissed, and he didn’t know what to do about it, other than rage around like some kind of freaking lunatic.

This had all gone way too far, and now, he was having regrets.

SERIOUS ONES.

Truth be told, he didn’t think that Gene would leave New Orleans and he certainly didn’t think that Elizabeth Blackhawk would let her husband have some side piece. The man was a whore, and she didn’t even stop it.

As for Gene, he loved it here.

Or he did, until his trashy-ass ex showed up to ruin that for everyone.

Including their marriage.

Now, even as Tommy tried to call Gene to talk some sense into him, two days after he left NOLA, he couldn’t reach him.

His number was changed.

He actually changed numbers!

Oh, there was no doubt why that had happened, and he was betting it wasn’t Gene’s decision. He was betting there was an outside influence.

It was definitely Ethan Blackhawk.

Tommy couldn’t believe this at all.

That Native had stolen his man. He’d literally swiped him out from under him.

Oh, deep down, for weeks he knew it would happen, but he’d had hope that it wouldn’t.

He’d trusted Gene.

Now, the media had them in DC yesterday, having coffee together in a café. They were sitting across from each other, and Gene was staring at him like…

Like he was special.
