I smiled innocently at him. “I’m not really twisting them, but it is fun to point out the obvious to you.”
He blew out a breath and then muttered, “Just get in the car.” He wasn’t pointing at my car though; he was pointing at the Charger parked next to mine.
“That’s not my car.”
“I know, babe. It’s mine.”
“Why would I be getting in your car?”
“Because I’m driving you home in it.” He’d unlocked and opened my door and was gesturing for me to get in.
Oh, good Lord! “I’m quite capable of driving myself home, Scott.”
“Yeah, well I’m driving you home so just get in the damn car.” He looked shitty with me again.
My natural reaction was to continue to argue with him but I quickly assessed the situation and decided it’d just be easier if I got in the car and let him drive me home. “Fine, but what about my car? Will it be safe here?”
He nodded and put his hand out. “Give me your keys. Griff’s gonna drive your car to your house and then I’ll bring him back here.”
“You’re not kidding are you?” It seemed like a lot of effort to go to.
“I don’t kid,” he said and looked towards Griff who was walking our way.
I shook my head, reached in my bag for my keys and handed them over. Then, I got in his car and shut up. I thought it really was the only thing to do at that point.
Chapter 12
Scott
“I told you I don’t trust that motherfucker.”
Griff held up his hand to stop me. “All I told you was that they were Blade’s boys. We don’t know if he’s sent them or if they came on their own.”
“Don’t give me that shit, Griff. Of course he fuckin’ sent them. And now Harlow’s in the middle of all this.”
“We’ll keep her out of it.”
“Bullshit. You saw them watching her last night.”
“Maybe they were just checking her out rather than watching her for Blade.”
I scoffed. “No, they’d been sent to trail her. What I want to know is, why?”
J walked into the office and sat down, leaning back with his hands raised behind his head. “Heard that Harlow’s being targeted. That true?”
“Fuck,” Griff muttered. “We don’t know for sure yet but we’re taking precautions and looking into it.”
“Since when?” J asked.
“We noticed last night when she was working at Indigo that there were some guys watching her. Griff looked back over the surveillance and confirmed they’d been there watching all night. I drove her home and we kept watch on her house with Stoney taking over early this morning. We’re keeping someone on her until we figure out what’s going on,” I answered him.
“You want me to take over from Stoney for awhile?”
“Yeah, sounds good. I’ll leave that with you and then can you organise Nash to take over from you so we can do those interviews this afternoon?”
J nodded in agreement and then left.
“You got Harlow working at Indigo tonight?” Griff asked.
