Zoe's looks are totally his type. And he's been obsessed with her for as long as I can remember. Our team knows all her songs, since he plays them nonstop, even though none of us speak Spanish, except Dirk. Axel only knows a little from Dirk.

"She has an attitude, that's for sure."

"And you're digging it, aren't you?"

He wipes the last spot left on the floor quickly. "She never listens."

"You didn't answer my question."

"She does whatever I tell her not to."

I chuckle. "So, she's not throwing herself at you like you're used to?"

"She's—"

"You're back," Tinker says as he walks through the door with Axel. "Naomi with you?"

"Yep. We've got another issue though. Good to see you, man."

Axel and I pound fists.

"He killed her ex in a hotel room. The body and surveillance are still there," Dirk blurts out.

"You didn't," Axel mutters.

"Sorry."

"What hotel was it?" Tinker asks.

"I didn't even look. Naomi would know. She's in the kitchen."

He nods and leaves.

"Let me wash up and we'll leave. You stay with the women, Andre," Dirk instructs before following Tinker.

Axel shifts. "Tinker says Interpol is close?"

"I don't know. If Darien brought the Colombian drug cartel with him, I doubt he told Interpol where we were headed."

"Colombian? Not Belizean?"

"Nope. They referenced me killing their guys."

"You know what Interpol team was coming for you?"

"Ours."

Axel's face hardens. "Hunter was right. We should have told them."

"I'll take the blame for that one."

"Don't. I was in agreement with you."

"Kalim wasn't too happy, according to Ryker."

"If Interpol put the team on this, Kalim is in charge. He's not going to stop hunting us. You know how focused he is."

"Especially when he's pissed."
