Lyon
Chapter 153

“How much do your women know about this little situation we’re dealing with?”

“Nothing why?” Logan turned to look in the same direction I was, a direct view into the great room where the women had gathered.

“Look at them in there. I haven’t heard any laughter coming from in there, no one’s pulling anyone’s hair so they’re not fighting, but they’re all very engrossed in whatever’s going on. And look there, the body language just changed as soon as my wife noticed me looking.”

“There’s no way they know.” I had everyone’s attention now for a different reason. We’d all been kicking around ideas about the best move to make and getting nowhere because the SEALs were on some waiting shit. Now we had another problem on our hands.

“I know a way to find out what they know.” I twisted my lips and made the call I use on special occasions, it’s a call only one person knows. She came running a few seconds later, all smiles and innocence. Her mother had put a bow in her hair and done some shit to her curls that made them shine in the moonlight. She looked like a fairytale or some f**k, but I know better.

“Come here Catalina.” She was a little shy with all the men around but she came. “What’s your mother up to in there?” Yes I know it’s f****d that I use my kid this way, but she’s better than some of the guys on my payroll at this shit. She gave me a suspicious look at first, like she thought I was trying to trap her since I’ve been telling her forever about listening in at doors and shit. I guess she decided I was on the up and up, f*****g kid.

She looked around at the others before crooking her finger at me. I walked a few steps away until we were out of earshot. “I didn’t hear everything because I had to lose the others.” Who the f**k is this kid? “But they were saying something about the traffic and some of the ladies got into trouble for going to the water and the bad man almost got them.” She took a breath and creased her brow in concentration.

“One of the pretty ladies got work from Stockton, oh and Micini whoever that is.” She looked up at me in expectation the little sneak. I could only look at her in amazement. It was on the tip of my tongue to scold her for listening to other people’s shit again but that would be hypocritical. I also knew there was no point in telling her not to do that shit because she wouldn’t listen no how, just like her damn mother. “Catalina why were you listening in on their conversation?”

“Nobody tells me anything.” Like she’s a hundred years old. “Go play with the others and no more snooping or I’ll ground you again.” She rolled her eyes because she knew I was full of shit, we have the weirdest f*****g relationship. I’m sure some shrink would have a field day with it, but it works for us.

“Daddy did you remember to tell Santa about my chemistry set?” Here comes the shakedown, maybe she’d become a politician and save my a*s bond money because sure as f**k she’s gonna be a danger to society.

“Yeah I told the fat fuer, yeah he knows.” She skipped her little a*s back inside and I went back to the guys.

“They know.”

“What do you mean they know, who told them? They can’t know. We’ve been very careful about that. Davey did you let anything slip to your sister?” Logan turned to the kid that was always in their shadow. He shook his head with a frown on his face.

“How can I tell her anything when you guys keep me pretty much outta the loop?” I would feel sorry for him, if I hadn’t caught him eyeing my Caitie bear earlier when they first arrived. She didn’t even so much as blink in his direction thank f**k, I’d hate to have to hurt the kid.

Then again her reaction posed another problem. She was so caught up in Todd the f**k, she didn’t even see other boys when they were standing in front of her giving off signals. That’s for another time though, right now I have to figure out what my wife and her new friends were up to.

“How much do you think they know, and how does your kid know?”

“My kid would outdo any Russian spy, she’s female, she’s young and adorable so most people don’t pay too much mind to her, that’s part of her ammo. The other part is listening in at doors and shit, that’s why I said no talking shop, you never know when she’s around with her shit.”

The SEALs looked after the door where she’d disappeared like they were thinking of recruiting her. Crazy f***s. “Damn I wonder if baby Zak is gonna do shit like that.”

“With her mother’s genes she’d probably be worst Ty. Lyon what did your kid say, how much do they know?” Zak asked me the question again.

“Well, they know about the trafficking, and they have the name Mancini.” I wasn’t sure how I felt about Kat knowing about this shit, at least Caitie bear’s name hadn’t come up; if it had Catalina would’ve told me. Still they knew more than enough to make trouble for my a*s, because women always want to be in the mix, I know mine does. If she has reinforcements, women feeding her shit I want kept secret, who knows.

“This doesn’t make sense, how can they know?”

“They’re comparing notes.” Cord had his eyes glued to the youngest one in the fold. “What notes, how can they know anything? Dana Sue spent the last month or so puking up her guts every hour on the hour, when did she have time to be getting into my shit? Kyle it’s your damn wife, she’s the only one who’d snoop into this shit.”

“Hold it, don’t forget Ginger, she does that snooping shit for a living, and Brand your woman might’ve heard some shit while she was up there with her people, or her mother could’ve told her.” Now we were the ones trying to figure shit out.

“It doesn’t matter, the cat’s out of the bag, now we do damage control. Who’s gonna go in there and put the fear in them? I don’t know about yours, but mine don’t listen for shit and if she thinks she can help me with this she’d try. That is not gonna happen.” F*****g Kat couldn’t give me one day of peace.

“Well Lyon, since it’s your house I say you get to do the honors.” Connor grinned but I could tell he wasn’t too pleased by this turn of events either. From what I gathered, all the women in there except mine and the youngest one were breeding. If these boys were anything like me, and I was beginning to suspect they were when it came to their women at least, that wasn’t gonna go over too well. A man would go to any lengths to protect his woman and unborn child.

“Scared of them are you?”

“You have no idea.” He clapped me on the shoulder as we made our way towards the house. My boys, the ones who go on certain runs with me, had been brought up to speed. Tomorrow Mallory would be here if his kid was doing better and I’ll let him in on whatever he didn’t already know.
