“Now don’t get like that. They’re good men. I’ve seen them help lots of people in need. They’re very generous with their money for those who need help.”
“Well then, we should have asked them for a loan instead of Margliado. Then at least you could have had sex with them as partial payment.”
Adelina shook her head at Kaitlin.
“You’re sick. Do you k
now that?”
She shrugged her shoulders. “I just want the debt and the worry off our backs. I want happiness for you, and I still think that Jett and Flynn can give you it.”
“It sure doesn’t seem that way.”
They walked out of the bedroom. Adelina kissed Bryer good-bye as he slept, and then she smiled at Kaitlin. “I’ll see you later.”

Al Walters, head of main security for Cash Corbin and Zane Heston, sat inside the van outside the little Irish bar. They were just starting off for a night of surveillance. Earlier in the week, they discovered that Sergio worked for this guy who was after Jett and Flynn Greyson’s place, as well as their uncles. Al’s snitches informed him that Sergio worked out of a back room at this bar, O’Connor’s.
As he and his partner, Jinx, watched the place, they saw the commuter bus stop and one person get off. Whoever she was, she had a nice set of legs on her.
“Damn, if the view was this good in the beginning of the week, I wouldn’t have been complaining so much about working tonight,” Jinx stated, obviously locking onto the same thing he did.
As the gentle breeze blew her long brown hair, she pushed it from her face and turned to look around.
“Oh, fuck.”
“What? You know her?”
Al swallowed hard. This was bad, really fucking bad. “This isn’t good.”
Jinx gave him a smack to his chest. “Spill, man. Who the hell is the sexy brunette?”
“I don’t like what I’m thinking right now, Jinx. That’s the manager for The Phantom.”
Jinx sat forward, looked at Al and then back at the woman as she entered the bar.
“A woman, huh? Their own fucking manager is fucking them over? Holy shit. What are you going to do?”
“Time this, will ya?” Al stated as Jinx immediately hit the time watch on the dashboard.
“Let’s see how long she’s in there for, and whether she comes out in one piece.”
“You gonna call the bosses?”
“Hell, no. Not until I have concrete evidence that she’s involved with these guys. Maybe she’s meeting a friend there? I don’t know. Adelina is a really nice woman. She’s sophisticated, sexy, and—”
“You fuck her or something?” Jinx asked, and Al gave him a dirty look.
“She’s not like that, and I don’t have a death wish.”
“A death wish?” Jinx looked away and then back at Al. “What do you mean?”
“She belongs to Jett and Flynn. She just doesn’t know it yet.”
“Well, they’re going to be pretty pissed if she’s been using them to give information to this Sergio and Margliado guy.”
“I know. I hope for her sake, she’s not involved. I’ll call Cash and Zane later.”
