I mean, I didn’t show my panties, no matter how cute and flirty or how much Javi liked them (yeah, and another quiver), to everyone in my place of work for nothing!
And we’d gotten nothing from Kevin.
“That should have bought us at least ten more minutes of interrogation time,” I kept snapping.
“Agreed,” Raye snapped with me.
We all stood there, silently grousing at the strongarm antics of the Hottie Squad, until Tex ambled in.
“You could have stopped them,” Jessie accused Tex.
“Why would I do that?” Tex asked. “When they’ll be busy questioning him, at the same time doing shit that actually earns an invoice, and that means we’re free to break into that Kevin moron’s apartment and search it.”
Oo!
Great idea!
Raye immediately went into command mode.
“Tex, Luna and me are on that after work.” She looked to Willow. “You need to keep a low profile.”
“I’ll say,” Shanti mumbled.
Willow only nodded her agreement.
“We’ll meet at Angels Headquarters at noon tomorrow to do a debrief on anything we find and then head out for wings and beer with Shanti’s cousin. And maybe, after that, swing by Titus’s garage,” Raye finished.
She put a hand out in front of her.
Jessie put hers on top, I put mine in, Luna, Willow, Shanti (at this point, Tex blew out a breath and walked out of the staff room).
“One, two, three…” Raye said while bouncing our hands.
“Angels unite!” we all said while breaking.
And after that, we got back to work.

(KATRINA AND THE WAVES)
At seven oh three that night, I pulled myself up into the passenger side of Javi’s truck.
I barely got my behind in the seat when he ordered, “Mouth.”
Bossy.
Hot.
Weirdly sweet.
I turned to him to see he was turned to me so I could lean right into his demand.
I should have told him how bossy he was being, but I didn’t, since it was also hot and weirdly sweet.
So I just leaned right into his demand.
