Noah sniffles behind us, and Lance pulls away.
“That’s so sweet,” she sobs.
“What?” Sage screams from the top of the stairs. “Someone fill me in.”
Lance and I help Noah walk over debris as we make our way out of this hellhole.
Tomorrow, I’m calling in the order to have the place demolished. Mom wouldn’t have wanted us to hold on to this part of our past.
“Are all of Percy’s guys dead?” Noah asks. “How many people knew he was still alive?”
Before I can answer, my brother adds, “And why the fuck did you blow us up? You could have killed us.”
I scowl at Lance, the ungrateful brat. I literally just saved his life, yet he still has something to complain about.
I answer Noah first. “We caught a couple of them for questioning. Hopefully, we’ll have answers soon.”
I turn to my brother.
“And we didn’t blow you up. This place was rigged with explosives. One went off during the gunfight when we first arrived.”
“I can’t believe you brought Sage here.” Noah clucks her tongue at me. “She could have died.”
I puff out my chest. “Are you kidding me? You think I had a choice?”
“I can hear you guys talking about me,” Sage scoffs, glaring at us as we make our way up the unstable stairs. “I wasn’t letting him leave without me. Literally locked myself inside his car. Besides, I was the one who knew where you were. He had to bring me.”
I would have found out after Lenetti’s call, but I won’t tell Sage that. Especially since I would have arrived too late. Sage is really the one who saved them.
“Howdidyou know where to find us?” my brother asks, narrowing his eyes at my woman.
He better stop looking at her that way or I’ll fight him.
“Noah and I installed apps on our phones to track each other at all times.”
“Right. I forgot we did that,” Noah smirks, and something tells me she didn’t forget. She just likes pushing Lance’s buttons.
“Seriously, Noe?”
Yep. He’s pissed.
He hates leaving digital footprints. I mean, I do too, but my aliases still have normal lives with streaming subscriptions and legit credit cards.
“I texted you about hanging out,” Sage continues. “But you didn’t answer right away, which is normal if you’re with Del because you two fuck all the time.”
I roll my eyes at Lance’s cocky smile.
“I had a bad feeling, so I checked your location. You were heading into Queens, which I thought was weird. You never go that deep into Queens. I called, and you didn’t answer. I panicked and called Boss, um, Elias.”
My cock twitches at the nickname, which I haven’t heard her say in a while.
Did she say it on purpose to get me all hot and bothered?
Jesus. Inappropriate time to get hard.
I narrow my eyes at her, then clear my throat, needing to distract my horny thoughts.
“Once Sage gave me the location, I knew exactly where you were heading. This was our childhood home.”
