“Russian,” he replied, not taking his eyes off the screen.
“Do you speak it too?” I asked, feeling more curious by the minute.
“Yes,” he said, still paying more attention to the phone like he was waiting for them to say something more.
I stayed quiet, waiting for something to happen, but nothing seemed out of the ordinary. Lance had finished the count when he and Rogelio grabbed the money and brought it to the SUV. Ruger stepped out as they tossed the money in and Lance climbed into the car and Rogelio into the driver's seat. The triplets got onto their bikes as two other men got into a vehicle in front of us.
“That went a lot smoother,” Lance said, looking behind us at the triplets. “They were exactly what we needed. I think half ofthose men were scared shitless. The masks were a nice added touch, good thinking.”
“Their reputation definitely bodes well for us,” I said, looking back at them. “Those masks were all them.”
Maverick rode in front with Winchester and Ruger behind her.
“Makes me feel a lot better about the deliveries.” Lance said, looking out the window.
“Me too, but we still need more men,” I sighed. “I don’t know for how much longer I will have these little psychos.”
“I have four men coming in tomorrow,” he said looking at his phone. “I think we will need twenty men to equal the brawn of those three.”
“No women?”
“Man's world, remember?” he shrugged
“Too much testosterone,” I scowled.
“I’m keeping my eyes out,” he chuckled.
“Winchester also said our perimeter sucked at the compound,” I said, glancing behind me. “We should ask him what he means.”
“Our security isn’t the best, but we need money,” Lance sighed.
“Well, this next deal should hopefully give us enough to make some changes,” I said, getting comfortable for the drive. “If these men are gossiping, I’d hate to be caught off guard.”
“I agree,” Lance said, also leaning back as he worked on his phone. “I hate to say it, but I am glad they let us borrow the triplets.”
“Me too,” I said. “I guess, I’m gonna have to show my appreciation.”
Lance grimaced as I cackled. I had no problem showing my appreciation and I missed my boys. This long distance was killing me even though I had waited a year to see them, but nowthat I had a taste of them, it was impossible to go more than a few days without them.

Boogie
The urge to check my phone was clawing at me. Ally had been silent since this morning, and her third shipment was this afternoon. The triplets were also ignoring me, but that was no surprise since they normally did whatever they wanted.
My hands were covered in blood which was the only reason I didn’t check my phone, and it was almost enough to get one of those stupid phone watches because I was that desperate to hear from Ally.
I dragged the body to the corner of the room with the other man, finishing out the instructions the Mayor had left for me. This was my least favorite way to dispose of a body, but if cutting up the body was needed, then I was the man for the job. It also kept me off the phone, which was probably the best thing.
After both bodies were cut up enough to be put in a box and a suitcase. I started to vacuum seal them. The procedure was cut and dry, very boring, but I charged a lot for it.
“You almost done?” King asked, leaning on the door frame.
“Just about,” I said, piling the parts together.
“Good, I’m fucking tired.” King yawned.
“Has she gotten in touch? I asked.
