“I think I know someone who can help,” Riley says.
I rub my chin, a little pissed he didn’t mention anything last night. “Who?”
He grins and rubs the back of his neck, peeking up at us. “This chick I’ve been seeing.”
“She give secrets out when you fuck her?” Alex jokes.
We all laugh, but Riley looks briefly at the table and runs his hand over his mouth. “No asshole. She’s like a computer expert and knows how to get information.”
“I think it’s a little risky giving your fuck buddy any club business,” Brooks states.
For the first time in a long time, I agree with him. We don’t even know her, how the fuck are we supposed to trust her.
“She’s not a fuck buddy,” he hisses.
My eyes widen as I look around the table. Damn, Riley’s got feelings for her. He’s never been with a girl for more than a few days. He’s never even mentioned her to anyone. Which makes me even more curious.
“Who is it?” I ask.
He glances at Kace, before avoiding eye contact completely with us all. “Gillian Holt,” he quietly says.
We all turn to Kace as he stands up, fury in his eyes. “Are you fucking kidding me?”
“Relax, Kace. It’s Rachel’s sister, not Rachel,” Alex says.
Kace turns his angry eyes to Alex. “Gillian is as untrustworthy as her bitch of a sister.”
“Fucking hell, Kace, stop,” Brooks yells. “Deal with your girl problems later. We aren’t using anyone away from this table for help.” He turns to Alex. “You need to get into records and see what you can find. If you can disable an alarm system, you can find this shit out.”
Alex agrees, but I’m not really paying attention. I’m focused on Kace who is still standing, staring at Riley. I get he’s pissed, Rachel fucked him over good, but I think it’s misplaced anger. I mean Gillian never gave anyone any trouble. She only came around a handful of times. I didn’t get the impression she liked being here. I guess I was wrong. I glance over at Riley and briefly wonder how long he’s been seeing her. He’s gotta be like ten years older than her. Bringing my attention back to Kace, I reach up and grab his arm.
“Sit down,” I hiss. He finally does and I lean over so only he can hear me. “We’ll talk about this shit later. You’re reversing the rolls here. You’re the angry one and I’m talking you down,” I laugh, and he shakes his head, but I see a small grin.
“Let’s go find Dom. If we get him, maybe we won’t need to worry about finding a lake house,” Enzo says.
“Do we really think Dom is going to tell us anything? I mean, I don’t think he’s going to say anything at all. He’s the VP, he’s not going to sell out Kingsley or any of their secrets,” Porter says.
“He probably won’t, but Kingsley will know we grabbed him. That’s enough to get him moving and that’s what we want,” Brooks says.
“Exactly,” I add.
“Let’s go check this trailer park out,” Enzo says.
We all stand, and I grab Kace’s arm, holding him back. “We need your head in this. If you are going to be thinking about Rachel and Gillian, tell me now. I can’t handle sitting at another hospital bedside.”
My eyes are bouncing between his and he finally sighs. “I’m good, Z. I’m not happy, but I can push that shit aside to do what needs to be done.”
I run my hand through my hair. He better fucking be right.

We get outside and I light a cigarette. “Hey, Z,” Enzo says.
I turn around and lift my chin. “What’s up?”
“Listen, I know Kace has a lot going on right now.”
