my house now?”
    “Not at all,” Savi shook her head. “I don’t mean any disrespect by it. I just saw it as a necessary precaution. For Harrison’s safety.”
    Running her tongue over her teeth, Inez nodded. “I see. So what is it you need to talk to me about?”
    “It’s…” she pushed out a heavy sigh. “It’s about Harrison. I intentionally don’t know many details about whatever is happening here tonight. But I want to make it clear, whether you believe me or not, that I’ve not been in contact with him until tonight. I haven’t relayed anything, haven’t dropped a hint, sent a smoke signal, nothing. I don’t know anything about whatever you are all so upset with him about.”
    For a long moment, there was quiet between the two women. Outwardly, Inez made sure she gave off the air that she was unconvinced, but she knew Savi. Well, she knew her character, at least. The Savannah she knew was disgusted by people like Damien Wolfe, had gleefully hunted and taken their lives. So… hmmm.
    “How do you know him?” Inez asked, unfolding her arms. She walked across the room, taking a seat on the end of the weight bench while she waited on an answer.
    Savi shook her head. “I can’t tell you that, Inez.”
    Inez lifted an eyebrow. “You can’t , or you won’t ?” She speared Savi with a glare, hoping it wouldn’t take more than that to get the other woman to spill what she knew.
    They both knew better. Savi met Inez’s glare with one of her own, not backing down. “Both . ”
    Inez was back across the room in a flash, right in Savi’s face. “Where the fuck do you think you are, amiguita ? You might wanna assess your situation a little better before you refuse to answer something, yeah?”
    “I know exactly where I am, chiquita . If I had something else to say that mattered, something you needed to know, I would tell you. Other than that, no comment.”
    Inez smirked at first, then let it spread into a full-on smile until she dropped her voice into an unpleasant, malicious tone to respond.  “Okay. We’ll just ask Harrison. I’m sure that between us, we can find some creative ways to get information out of him. And when we’re done, we’ll send you the remains.”
    The change in Savi was instant. One moment, she was contrite, and seeking understanding for her position. The next, her eyes were cold, nostrils flared, and Inez was sure that if she looked down, her fists would be clenched at her sides.
    “If one person,” Savi said, her words perfectly clear, though her tone was edged barely-restrained rage, “touches Harrison to do him harm, I will burn this fucking place to the ground with all of you in it, and watch the flesh melt off your bones.”
    “I’m giving you a hundred goddamn miles of leeway right now, Sav,” Inez warned. “Taking you at your word that you haven’t been funneling information to Damien Wolfe. And you’re gonna stand in my face, in my house and threaten me?”
    “I’m not threatening you, Inez. I’m telling you. If Harrison is harmed, somebody in here is going to have to answer to me, and they’re not going to have a very good quality of life after I’m finished with them.”
    “He’s no angel.”
    Savi shook her head. “I never said he was. He’s never claimed to be. Ask your questions, get your answers, fine. But I said what I said, and I meant it.”
    Inez narrowed her eyes, shaking her head. “Who is he to you, Savi? What the fuc—”
    The sound of heavy footsteps in the room drew their attention away from each other, and onto Kendall, who strode up to them with the same powerful presence of a panther. He’d mostly changed out of his sleek, matte black Special Ops gear – a sight that’d made Inez a little giddy – and was now in just a white ribbed tank and black on black camo pants with his heavy black boots… a sight that also made Inez giddy. She allowed her gaze to sweep over Ken, taking in deep mahogany skin, handsome, chiseled
