back onto the freeway going the other direction. Maybe going out after switching vehicles wasn’t such a good idea.
HOLLYWOOD GRIPPED THE arms of the passenger seat, unable to believe the way Talena handled the race car. He wasn’t going to call the little fucking thing she was in anything other than what it was. “Remind me again why I can’t beat her ass as soon as we find her?” he asked through gritted teeth.
Nobody answered him.
He looked behind him, seeing the men Cosmo called his Demon Security with complete and utter stone looks on their faces. “Are none of you going to tell me I should calm down?”
Roq shook his head. “Not me, man. If she were mine, she wouldn’t be able to sit without remembering what it feels like to have my hand firing her ass up for a fucking month.”
Axl grunted but looked out the side window on the driver’s side. “Double back. I think she was going to take the exit before the one she took like a fucking maniac.”
Hollywood’s phone rang. “What’s up, Keys?”
“You following your girl?”
He brought his hand to his chest, rubbing the spot over the beating organ. “Trying to find the little speed demon.”
“Yeah, I saw some footage that was uploaded. Brother, that is one woman who is gonna be hard as fuck to tame. You sure you’re up for the challenge?” Keys got quiet, but his ever tapping of a keyboard didn’t. “Got her. She’s already off the freeway. Why the fuck are you guys so far behind her or rather in front?”
Hollywood looked over at Cosmo who was shaking his head, a little grin on his lips. “You know what, brother? I’m not going to waste my breath explaining the why bullshit. You following her on your fancy computer?”
“You know it. Her dot is going a lot faster than you boys. If you want to catch her, I suggest you tell Cosmo to put some lead in his foot. The area she’s in isn’t the most well-lit or a safe one I’d want my ole lady in.” Keys hesitated for a moment. “She’s stopped, and her dot is gone. Either she’s gone way underground or the building she entered is lined in lead. Whatever the reason, I’ve lost her.”
“Son-of-a-bitch, Cosmo, step on it. Keys lost her.” He rattled off the address the other man gave to him, counting down the seconds it took for them to take the exit.
Roq and Axl sat in the middle row. Had he not known they were back there he’d have thought they’d somehow found a way to disappear. From their very stillness, and the way they both moved, he had no doubt they were trained killers, either by some branch of the military or other. Since they were on his side, he didn’t give two shits as long as they were friendly.
“Told you,” Axle said a little smugly as they rolled up to a building that from all appearances looked like a garage that wouldn’t draw much notice.
The rolls of wire on the roof could be written off as a way to keep kids from trying to break in through that angle, but he was observant and saw the red lights under the overhang. “Infrared alarm system. Kinda high-tech for the area, don’t you think?” he asked without expecting an answer.
“She must have a device on her that allows her entry without the need to get out, then once inside, she’s sealed up and secure. I wonder what’s all inside?” Cosmo drummed his thumb on the steering wheel while they waited for another thirty seconds before he decided to pull down the street a little.
“I’m going to get out and see if I can find a way in other than the front.” Hollywood didn’t think there was one but sitting in the vehicle waiting wasn’t an option.
“What if she comes out while you’re out doing a walkabout?” Roq leaned between the seats, his huge hulking form taking up so much space Hollywood wasn’t sure how he sat back there comfortably.
“Shit,” he growled, looking toward the entrance then the sky. “I fucking hate doing nothing.”
“Hey, get in, someone’s coming down the road. I recognize that rig from the races.” Cosmo had shut the lights off of his own vehicle, but the white Escalade would surely stick out in the neighborhood they were in.
Just as the expensive ride was nearing the entrance where Talena had entered, the door began to open. Her sweet MC20 Maserati eased out,
