“Good thinking,” Reed compliments.
“There could have been something in the house, or on his phone, but there isn’t anything that we can do about that now. We will get him, but we’ve known for a while that he’s going to be a long game kind of thing, not a quick fix,” Ransom points out.
“Exactly. We can fix the wolves being sold, and it should be something that we can do fairly quickly,” River says, anger crossing his expression. “If Rana remembers being there since she was a kid, then that means that it's been going on for thirty-plus years, and that they take children as well.”
“Fuck, why had that occurred to me?” Van frowns. “I definitely think that it’s the right thing to do. We can work everything else out around it. I don’t see why Ty would have a problem with it.”
“We are going to have to be really careful about the Blue Fucker, and HID. It’s really concerning that he set up a watch here,” Griff points out.
“Yeah, we are. If he set up a watch here, is it possible that he’s set up a watch at other places where Neith has been seen?” Coen asks with a worried and pissed off expression.
He’s never taken it very well when I’ve been under threat. Not that anyone would, but Coen, and Dimitri even more so actually, took it to an entirely different level.
“Shit, I should call Sully and get him to check around the bar and see if there’s anything suspicious around. I see him a lot, especially since thewhole HID thing. We’ve gone there recently too,” I say, already pulling out my phone from my pocket.
“It’s probably a good idea to give him a heads up anyway, just in case,” River suggests.
“Do you think that the Blue Fucker would be stupid enough to go near Sully’s place knowing that people there will recognize him, and will most likely kill him on sight?” Reed asks.
“I have no idea,” I reply as I wait for Sully to pick up, “I mean, I would hope not.”
“Neith,” Sully answers warmly, “I didn’t expect you to call tonight, or rather this morning, has something happened?”
“Of course it has, it’s me, but that’s not why I’m calling,” I reply, and he chuckles.
He is not going to be happy about what I say next, but then again, he’s not going to be happy about several things that I need to tell him. Murray being the biggest thing. I can’t tell him about that now though, the line might not be secure, and she could be with him. No, that needs to wait.
“What’s up?” Sully asks, sounding intrigued.
“The Blue Fucker hired the wolves in the pack next to the compound to kill the guys and take me,” I quickly run through what happened and then add, “so I need you to check your staff and the bar in case either of them is compromised.”
“He wouldn’t fucking dare!” Sully bellows down the phone, and I pull it away from my ear so that I don’t lose all hearing in that ear.
The guys gazes all turn to look at me, hearing the shout even though the phone isn’t on speaker. It is never a good idea to piss off a troll, especially not one like Sully.
“I know, Sully,” I reply. “That’s what we all said.”
Sully sighs, and after a few moments of reining in his temper, he replies, “It is better to be safe, especially since you come here, and I don’t want to give up my visits. I will question the staff under oath, have the area swept, and put more bouncers on the door. It will be better, but it’s not going to stop him if he really wants to send someone in here.”
“I know, just be careful.” I say with a sigh, “There’s something else that I need to talk to you about, but that’s probably not best discussed over the phone.”
“Okay,” Sully replies. “I’ll let you know when it’s safe for you to come here. If it looks like it’s going to be iffy, then we will have to work something else out.”
I nod, even though he can’t see me, “Yeah, we can do that. Let me know if you find anything.”
“I will. Stay safe,” Sully says and then hangs up.
“Are you going to tell him about Murray?” Coen asks.
I nod, “Yeah, I need to know what she knows about the more recent developments. I also need to know where she is. We need to question her, and Sully is the best person to know that.”
“Plus, he needs to know that she isn’t to be trusted,” Doc points out. Frowning, he adds, “Yeah, we probably need to find a way to tell him sooner rather than later.”
I nod, “We’ll give him a couple of days to question his staff and put more security measures in place. Then we will figure out a way to talk to him, maybe even at SID, that’s pretty fucking safe, and I highly doubt that the Blue Fucker will attempt anything there.”
“Yeah, that’s a good idea,” Van agrees, although there’s still a hint of worry in his expression.
“I think it might be a good idea to get that update from Ty sooner rather than later,” Doc suggests. “Especially now that we’re going to be looking intothe wolves. Ty did say when I went to pick up Coen’s card that he hadn’t heard anything from HID yet, but that doesn’t really mean that they’ve backed off.”
