“Fuck, finally,” he said. “What is it?”
I frowned.
“Just spit it out,” he ordered.
“I really want Wrath to be here,” I said. “I know he’s not an officer, per se, but I’m finding it moredifficult to keep this shit separate from him.”
He dragged his hands down his face. “Then, fuckin’ get him in here, Sierra, but make it quick.”
I sent Wrath a text and waited for close to five minutes, which seemed like forever, before he came walking in.
“Took you long enough,” I teased.
“Sorry, I was hangin’ with Shotgun. Everything okay?” he asked.
“Sit down, honey,” I said. “I have an update from Taxi.”
Wrath glanced at Sundance who waved to the chair next to me. He sat down and I opened my laptop.
“I found the head of the snake,” I said, opening the laptop and showing the screen to the men.
“Fuck me,” Sundance hissed.
“Who the fuck’s that?” Wrath asked.
“That there is Raven Sinclair. She’s Jaws’s daughter,” Sundance said.
“The president of the Apex Predators?” Wrath asked.
“Yep,” I said.
Sundance rose to his feet. “And Tango’s baby sister.”
I gasped. “What?”
“Jesus fuckin’ Christ,” Wrath hissed.
“None of that leaves this room,” Sundance ordered.
“I don’t understand,” Sierra said. “How didInot find that?”
“Tango’s mama hid him from Jaws. Never put hisname on the birth certificate.” He sat back down and drummed his fingers on his desk. “I met her around the time I met Morgan. She was a sweet butt, but she was also a crack whore. She got in with the Predators’ and seemed to stick with Jaws for a while, but when she got pregnant, she sought me out. Morgan and I helped her get clean and she hung out here for a bit, but then Jaws didn’t like that his ‘property’ had decided to walk away from him, so he made things difficult. She split town and no one knew where she was for years until she walked back in after Morgan died with Ridge in tow. I’m the only one she told. Hell, Tango didn’t even know until he was twenty-one. And she only told him to protect him.”
“Oh my god,” I breathed out. “Does Raven know?”
“If you didn’t know about it, she wouldn’t know about it,” Sundance said. “I’d like to keep it that way.”
“Fuckin’ hell,” Wrath said. “Not sure how I’m gonna keep that from him.”
“You wanna take him out back with a beer and let him know I told you, I’m okay with that.”
“I’m not,” I said.
“Why the hell not?” Wrath asked.
“Because Taxi was clear on what I could divulge, even to Sundance, so if you tell Tango you know about his parentage, he’ll ask questions that you can’t answer. I don’t want a wedge to come between you two like the one that had to be pried out of yours and Scooby’s brotherhood.” I squeezed his thigh. “If you would wait until we’re ready to nail this bitchdown and all can be revealed, I’d really appreciate it.”
Wrath gave me a curt nod and I turned back to my screen.
