"Humor me."
"Why do I feel like I'm being set up?"
"Come on. Pick."
"He'd want to rescue Zoe Diego and have her forget he's a cocky twat and lick his balls all night."
"That's not funny. She's missing." Dirk scowls.
"Chill out." But I should know better than to tease him about the only woman he's ever been obsessed with. Dirk and I spend most of our free time together, so I know her songs by heart from his hours upon hours of playing them. I only know a little Spanish, so I don't understand most of the words, but regardless, I could sing them if I had to. And her voice is amazing, so I don't mind it.
Kalim cockily raises his eyebrows. "You owe me big-time for assigning her to you."
The color in Dirk's face drains. "What are you talking about?"
Kalim holds out the folder. "Zoe Diego is yours to rescue."
"They found her?" He grabs the folder.
"Yeah. She's with Santiago Gómez."
Dirk opens the folder. "Why would he take her?"
"Don't know."
"I get to put the bullet through his head then."
Kalim grunts. "That's going to be tricky based on the surveillance and getting all the women in and out."
"Don't tell me we aren't taking Santiago out after kidnapping all these women?" Dirk barks.
Kalim sighs. "You know how this works. Wait for Andre to arrive and we'll solidify the plan. I want to take the thug out, too, but it doesn't look good."
Dirk growls, kicks his boot in the dirt, and marches off.
"He's really got Zoe Diego?" I ask.
Kalim nods. "Yep."
"Wow. What are the odds?"
"Totally crazy, but that's the world we live in. Here's yours. You get the tall one. I've gotta get on a call with Interpol."
I snort. I'm sure she's five-seven max. I always get the tall ones. I'm six-six. But what others think is tall is short to me. And almost all the women we rescue seem to be five-seven or under.
"See you later." I sit on the tree stump several feet away and open the folder.
Holy...wow.
She looks like an angel.
Her red hair looks soft. Her green eyes have a depth to them. And her porcelain skin is dotted with a few freckles on her cheekbones. Her pouty lips don't have any lipstick on them and are pale reddish-pink.
She's five-ten.
My dick throbs. I love tall women. Most women don't fit my ideal profile for height.
She does. And she looks like she models. I bet that's her job.
