“Oh, how’s he doing?”
“Let’s find out.”
They walked into the kitchen.
“Mmm, dinner smells good,” Mason said.
“And everything looks good.” Gray turned to Mason. “You should thank Jack. He’s won you an orgasm tonight.”
Mason’s eyes went wide. “Really?”
“Unless you’d prefer to wait.”
“No. No, sir. Thank you, Jack.”
Jack brought a large bowl filled with spaghetti and meatballs to the table. “You’re very welcome.”
He’d just set the bowl down when Gray’s phone rang. Jack and Mason seemed to be holding their breath as he pulled it from his pocket.
“Shit! It’s Thornton.”
They both groaned.
Damn, he did not want to have to leave his men tonight, but he couldn’t ignore it. He tapped to answer. “Sadler.”
“I know I promised to leave you alone tonight, but I need you at the warehouse on Broad.”
Gray knew Lieutenant Thornton wouldn’t call unless it was serious. “The one we were watching? What’s going on?”
“Remember those supplies for the shelter?”
“How could I forget?” Gray asked.
“There was heroin and needles stashed inside them.”
“What the fuck? None of them looked like they’d been tampered with.”
“I know. But the shelter director caught one of the patrons with enough heroin to get everyone there high as fuck. The man said he got it from the kitchen. And things blew up from there.”
“Fuck!”
“Yeah, my sentiments exactly. Get down here. We’ve got dogs going through the place to see what else might be hidden here.”
“Wait. So?—”
“I don’t have time to talk now. I’ll give you more details when I have them.”
“Yes, sir. I’ll be there in ten.” Gray still didn’t understand how these drugs got in the boxes and cans, or how Williams or whoever the fuck was running this show planned to retrieve them, or really any fucking thing about this operation, but he ended the call.
“You’re leaving?” Jack asked.
“Remember last week’s case from hell?”
Both of them nodded.
“Well, it just keeps on giving. Hopefully, I won’t be out until dawn this time.”
“Will we still…” Mason’s voice was tentative, like he was afraid asking would cause Gray to say no, but he wouldn’t do that to them.
