Lach’s eyes grew small. “I want Brett. End of story.”
Toth gave a sharp nod. “Me too.”
“First step, we’ll need your phone,” Cole said, his gaze on Lach. At least his tone held less hostility.
“Why?” Lach asked.
“’Cause we need to scan it for malware. See if you’re being watched.” He held out his hand, waiting for Lach’s device.
“Hand it over,” Toth commanded.
Lach mumbled something beneath his breath but slapped his phone into Cole’s hand. “When will I get it back?”
“I need to take it to someone.” He shot a look at Toth. “To Dare. He’ll be able to uncover anything on here that shouldn’t be.”
Anticipation built inside Toth. Nash had been less disapproving of Toth than Cole had been, but maybe his other two brothers, the ones he hadn’t met, Dare and Dallas, would want a relationship.
Stupid.
Regardless, the idea clung to his brain like a burr to dog’s fur. Why he was so goddamn hung up on having a connection with these guys was beyond him.
Savannah’s gaze on his face was curious. He winked at her and caught her fingers, not giving a fuck if Lach didn’t like it. “Next up, we need to examine the men closest to Danny.”
Savannah scoffed with impatience. “We need to visit my father and tell him what we know. He has to know about Brett, and if he doesn’t, he’ll be able to find him.”
“I agree,” Toth said. “But don’t know who we can trust, and if we’re not careful we’ll lead Brett and his men right to us. Better to be on the offensive and find out who the mole is first. Then we’ll know how to go about this—and maybe get to Brett without needing to involve your dad.”
Her shoulders slumped a little and he couldn’t blame her. He wanted nothing more than to ride up with guns blazing and put Danny Carrington in his place. But they couldn’t be careless.
“I’ll go stake out Danny’s warehouse. See who’s coming and going,” Rami volunteered.
“Good call,” Toth said.
Rami and Lach discussed amongst themselves and then the two of them left.
“What are you going to do?” Cole asked, as he pocketed Lach’s phone.
Toth massaged his neck. “Once we’ve got a lead, I’ll confront Brett. I’m going to call a couple buddies. See if there’s any talk about where he’s hiding. Someone knows where he is.”
Cole nodded at Savannah. “And her?”
She frowned. “What about me?”
“No offense,” Cole said, lifting a shoulder. “But we can’t exactly bring you along when we find Brett.”
She positioned her hands on her hips. “Why the hell not?”
Toth fought the urge to roll his eyes. While he agreed with his brother, the delivery hadn’t been great. “He’s right.”
Savannah squinted at him. “Brett will talk to me. Not you.”
Toth curled his lip. “I don’t plan to do much talkin’, honey. He tried to kill you more than once. There’s not much we need to say.”
She pursed her lips. “You’re going to kill him?”
Dammit. He tried not to let her question get to him. Tried not to examine its sharpness. Thing was, he wanted to kill Brett more than he wanted to stay out of jail. Not just for what he’d done to Savannah, but also for sending him over the edge of a mountain.
When he got his hands on the cocksucker, he’d make sure he suffered. “I’m going to make sure he never hurts you again.”
