Chapter Eleven

“We’re going to have a hard time moving forward with this,” Bobbi said coldly. “Since I have certain trust issues with you now. I already told you I don’t want the damned reward. Why did you steal the USB?”

Jax growled in exasperation. “I’m a control freak, and this case is very, very important to me. I don’t want to risk anything going wrong.”

Bobbi settled on the couch, as Dominick came back in the room, wearing a silky oxford-style shirt, trousers, and a belt.

“Well, now that I know I can’t trust you, I’m glad I didn’t tell you about the common denominator that I found between the three men.”

Everyone turned to stare at her.

“Spill it,” Jax demanded. “You know how important this is.”

“First give me the damned USB.”

“You work for the Enforcer council, am I correct? I’ll email the information on the USB to them right now,” Tyler said.

She gave him Renee’s email address and then watched as Tyler emailed the contents of the USB to her. Then she called Renee to make sure that she’d received it, and also told her about Jax’s conversation with Cedric.

“You need to pass all of that information along to the police,” Renee said.

“With Stanford breathing down their necks?” Bobbi protested.

“I told you. Until he gives us a reason to file a complaint or take official action, we’ve got no legitimate reason not to cooperate,” Renee said. “We don’t like him any more than you do, but his campaign against shifters is all the more reason for us to be on the up and up with the police department and with this investigation. We don’t want to give him any room for complaint against the Enforcers.”

“Fine,” Bobbi said, and hung up, frustration boiling inside her.

“This bites,” she grumbled.

A male servant who looked like a classic English butler, right down to the black suit with bow tie and tailcoat, came in, wheeling a silver tray laden with pastries, sandwiches, and hors d’oeuvres. Pixie’s eyes lit up.

Kenneth nodded his thanks. “Thank you, Edgar,” he said to the servant. “I figure that might at least briefly distract our larcenous little friend here,” he added, as she quickly began loading food onto a plate.

“Technically, that USB was mine,” Jax informed Bobbi, his tone aggrieved. “Remember, I gave it to you so you could hack into the club’s computer. So I wasn’t stealing. I was taking back my property.”

“We were supposed to work together. Drugging me and then running off with the fruits of my labor is not working together.”

“Fine. I’m sorry,” he bit out. He don’t look sorry. He looked irritated and defensive. “What’s the common denominator?”

Bobbi took a deep breath and counted to ten.

Despite her anger at Jax, she still needed him and his local connections – more than ever now that any information that they gave to the police would be immediately handed to Stanford Roosevelt.

And underneath it all, as angry as she was at him, she still wanted to see him solve the case and get the reward.
