“Of course. We need all the hands on deck that we can get,” Boss tells him, and he nods, standing with the group of us.
“Faith, do you know anything about the location where Iris was supposed to meet this person buying the textbooks?”
“No, I don’t . . . but I know she communicates a lot through Facebook, and I have her Facebook password.” Faith immediately takes out her phone, signs out of her own Facebook, and then signs into Iris’. She goes into her messages and begins scrolling, not finding anything about textbooks, but she taps on a message from an ‘Unknown User’.
“This has to be it,” Faith mutters as she waits for it to load. Once the message pops up, it’s only the messages from Iris showing. There are blank dialogue boxes from the other person. “She was meeting them at Highland Park, near Ridgewood Reservoir.”
“All right, it’s the only lead we have, so we need to go get out there and follow it,” Boss says, waving her hand around for us to all get going. She even takes a few steps and goes with the group of us.
Cowboy clears his throat, and I didn’t even realize he was here. “Boss, stand down. I’ll go with the group of them, but you should stay here.”
Boss whips her head around at her ol’ man. “Who do you think you are telling me to stand down?”
He sighs heavily before he says another word. “You and I both know why you can’t go out right now, so don’t make me say anything you don’t want me to.”
“I’m fully capable of protecting myself and searching for my people. Why in the hell are you acting like an overprotective asshole right now?” Boss quips at him, and Cowboy raises his brows. He’s pissed.
“Don’t get mad at me for saying this in front of them because you’ve left me no fucking choice. You have a high-risk pregnancy, and the doctor said you need to take things easy, so you need to do that. Let me handle this. I can take the lead, or I can step behind Omen while he handles this.”
“If I’m staying back, Omen’s going to handle this. You might be my ol’ man, but you aren’t my interim Prez, and it’s best if you remember that.” Shit, there’s some intense gunfire going on between these two. None of us knew Boss was pregnant in the first place, so she has to be early on, right? Hell, if I know. I’m not a genius when it comes to this sort of shit.
