Remmy watched the van move out, and he took the shot, hitting the back bumper so no one would hear or feel the tracker landing.

“One down,” he said.

Everyone, including him, were holding their breaths.

As the black Town Car pulled behind the van to follow it out of the alley, he landed another tracker onto it.

“We have confirmation of targets being tagged,” he said, picking up the tablet. “I’m sending it to you via MATE, Maura. You’ll be able to track them.”

She was grateful.

“Remmy, get back to The Underground and get Calyx out. We don’t know what Cruz told Merla to do. Protect her.”

Oh, he planned on it.

Calyx wouldn’t be hurt.

Remmy would ensure it.

“Be safe, Major. We’ll see you when you get the men back,” he said, hoping that would be the case. “If you need me, call. I’ll meet you wherever.”

Oh, she would.

From their tail cars, they watched the vehicles pull past them.

“Eve, you’re on first car. I’m on the Town Car. If it looks as if it’s about to go bad, both of you get the men to safety.”

“On it, Major,” Eve said, calmly, even when she wasn’t feeling so damn peaceful.

“Clear,” Jinx said.

Maura focused on the car, and did her job—despite feeling like she was going to puke.

It was time to stop being Maura, and time to become Major Gaines-Armstrong.

Her husband’s keeper.

Oh, Calyx was expecting the woman to come back wanting her money.

But she wasn’t getting it.

This bitch was helping assholes sell women, and that, as a woman, didn’t sit well with her.

Not.

At.

All.

As she sat in the back office, she heard the tap to her door.

Well, it was time to take care of the trash, and take it out. While she didn’t advocate violence, since Calyx had seen plenty in her life, she was more than willing to serve out some karma.
