“Thank you. From the way he spoke I think he’d used that place before.”
“Hmm. That would make sense,” Jax says. “There wasn’t much likelihood of people finding the place or sneaking around there.”
“So how did you two find me there, anyway?” I ask and immediately feel the tension in Jax’s arms.
“It doesn’t matter,” my father snaps. “All that matters is that we did.”
“I know that,” I say with a frown. “I was just wondering how you did. The place was kinda out of the way and all.”
Silence!
“So how did you do it?” I ask again only to be met with more silence.
“Why won’t either of your answer me?” I ask. What could they possibly be avoiding telling me?
“Alejandro,” Jax eventually says.
“Jax,” he snarls back.
“She deserves to know,” Jax adds.
I look between him and my father.
“Deserve to know what?” I demand.
“We can discuss it tomorrow when you’re rested and we can all have a rational discussion,” my father says.
“Papi?”
“Just remember that this saved your life,mija,” he says. “Who knows what that cabrón would have done to you if we hadn’t got there when we did?”
“Okay,” I say and I look to Jax who narrows his eyes at me.
“Promise you won’t freak out,” he says.
“I promise. Would you both please tell me what’s going on?”
“You have a tracker in your arm,” my father says, matter-of-factly.
“A tracker? In my arm?” I look between the two of them.
“Yes.”
“But how?” I rub my hands over my arms, not knowing what I’m looking for, but surely I would know if someone stuck a tracker in me, right?
“When you went for your implant, I paid the doctor to implant a tracker too.”
“You what?” I snap. “But that’s like illegal!”
My father arches an eyebrow at me in the rearview mirror. Like he doesn’t break at least a dozen different laws on a daily basis.
“It’s unethical,” I try instead. “I thought doctors were supposed to be above all that shit?”
“Stop cussing,” my father and Jax say in unison.
I shake my head in disbelief. Yeah, cut a guy’s cock off with a rusty hacksaw, Lucia, but don’t curse.
“I will cuss all I want to. You had something put into my body without my knowledge, Papi—do you get how wrong that is?”
