“What exactly do you think you can help us with?” I asked her, skeptical about what this petite brunette, living in a nice ass apartment, would be able to help with other than giving us beauty tips and blowjobs.

“Really, Kai?” she scoffed, crossing her arms. “Who does this asshat think he is?”

“Asshat?” I laughed bitterly. “Tell us what you know and how much money you want for the information.”

“Fuck you.” She turned around and stormed away from us.

“Archer, I told you to hear her out,” Kai sighed. “I wouldn’t waste your time and jeopardize Mila for some fool’s errand. Please, show her some respect.”

“Fine.” I gestured toward where Haven walked and followed Kai into her living room.

“Archer wants to apologize for being an asshat,” Kai told her, grinning in my direction.

Smartass.

Haven turned to face me, waiting for my apology. I rolled my eyes. “I’m sorry,” I forced out through gritted teeth. “Now, can you please tell me how you think you can help find Mila?”

She walked over to the long black-out curtains on her window and pulled them open, pointing toward a building in the distance. “This is where Alexander took her,” she stated matter-of-factly.

“GPS already told me that,” I retorted.

“Yes, but you’ll never get within a mile of that building,” she promised.

“What, and you can?”

“As his sister…I’d like to think so,” she challenged.

I fought to keep my jaw from dropping to the floor and stood with my fists clenched as I stared at the bloodline of the disgusting fuckerthat kidnapped my wife and sold women for sex. I could have strangled her, wrapped my hands around her neck, and satisfied the itch I had for revenge.

Then I had a thought.

“What makes you think I won’t use you as leverage to get her back?”

“And in doing so, you’ll get yourself and everyone else killed, and what do you think will happen to your wife then?” she countered calmly.

“You’re his sister. I’m sure he’d be willing to make a trade.”

“You really are dumber than you look,” she laughed, completely unfazed by my threats.

I looked at Kai.

He mouthed the words "calm down" to me, his expression serious.

“Alex couldn’t give two shits about me. Even his own sister isn’t enough for him to trade for someone he fought so hard to get.”

“How do you know that?” I asked, curious.

She stared at me for a moment before speaking in a quiet voice. “You don’t know him like I do.”

“All I care about is getting to Mila and burning him and the rest of those nasty fucks to ash,” I replied flatly.

“The chances of me getting you inside unnoticed are slim. There are too many cameras, and he has that place guarded by an army. You’ll be dead before you ever get to her.”

“Then what good are you?”

“I can get to her. I can get her out.” she announced confidently.

“How much do you want?”
