Oh, and then the beads meeting their demise.

“She’s mean. Watch your junk,” Zayn whispered to Boone as he did just that.

Maura laughed.

“Yeah, yeah, Jagger is about to get really cautious and overbearing. You won’t all be thanking me then,” she said.

“About to be?” Rogue asked. “Then what’s this persona he’s been showing the world the last three months?”

Jagger shrugged.

“That’s my winning personality.”

They all laughed.

The point was made.

“Anyway, go to your appointment. We’re hitting that airport, and hopefully, El Gato doesn’t own anything else.”

Merry knew what she was going to do.

“I’ll start looking for anything else in case something popped up that we missed.”

Maura appreciated that.

She looked at Remmy.

“I need you to ‘borrow’ Calyx,” she said.

Immediately, he lifted a brow.

“What exactly do you mean by ‘borrow’ her. That sounds sketchy.”

She explained.

“I need you to get her, abduct her without anyone seeing, and bring her here, blindfolded. We’re going to need her help.”

Well, that was at least not the most unpleasant job he could have to do.

“Please?”

“On it,” he said, standing up. “Text me when you want her here. I’ll abscond the owner of The Underground for you,” he said.

Then, walked out.

When he was gone, they were all thinking the same thing.

“Someone has it bad for Calyx,” Rogue said.

Oh, he wasn’t kidding.

Only, they’d have to solve that problem later. Dakota had been the one mission, and now that it was done, taking down Chevy was priority.

Remmy was up next.

Jagger knew they needed to get going, and he had to make sure he handled the next part. Hopefully, his wife wouldn’t kill him.

“Maura won’t be going out with us to the airport,” he said, smiling as if almost daring her to go there.
