“Yeah,” he replies, sounding as confused about his reply as Coen and I are.
Kar doesn’t do feelings or relationships. Ever.
No exceptions.
Well, apparently, except for Neera, and isn’t that interesting?
I grin, “She’s going to eat you alive.”
“I fucking hope so,” he grins. “See ya, I’ll speak to you tomorrow.”
“Kar, stay in touch properly this time,” I reply.
He nods, “I can do that.”
We all jump back into the van as Kar turns his car around and heads back into town.
I immediately pull out my phone and text Neera.
“Give me a second and I’ll have us all dry again,” Van says as scales ripple across his arms and all the moisture is pulled from our clothes.
“Thank you,” I grin, as I lean over the seat and kiss his cheek.
He smiles, “You’re welcome.”
While the guys thank Evander, I pull out my phone.
Me:Have fun with Karhu.
Neera:How the fuck do you know about Karhu?
Me:We go way back, he’s like family. You’ll be safe with him . . . I threatened to skin him if he hurt you.
Neera:This is why I love you. Seriously, thank you.
Me:I’ve got you. Now go have fun.
Neera:Yes, ma’am. You didn’t get followed out of the coffee shop by the way, obviously otherwise I would have told you.
Me:Thanks. It was actually Kar following us, so nothing to worry about. Have fun on your date!
“Well, that was more eventful than I thought it was going to be,” River says. “I like Kar.”
“Me too,” Reed grins.
“Kar is good people,” Coen agrees. “Technically, I’ve known him for as long as I’ve known you guys, roughly. Although there were a good few years where we didn’t see each other.”
“What’s the plan, Nene?” Van asks me.
“Call Ty, we need to get in to see Dimitri as soon as possible,” I reply with surety.
Van doesn’t question me, he doesn’t double check, he just nods and gets Ty’s contact up, the sound of ringing echoing through the van.
“Guys, I didn’t expect a call today. What’s up?” Ty answers almost immediately.
“Neith wants to meet with Dimitri. We’ve had some new information come to light, and we need to talk to him as soon as possible,” Evander replies, getting straight to the point.
“Of course. I can get you in to see him tomorrow morning. Is that too soon?”
