Insatiable (Steel Brothers Saga 12) - Page 133

Within a minute, Ruby was working on the trace.

“I’ve known you for so many years,” Jade was saying to Ted Morse. “Please tell me none of this is true.”

Apparently he was telling her just that. A few minutes passed, and Ruby was back on the line. “Done. He’s actually here. In Grand Junction.”

“Okay. Last I heard, Colin was in Glenwood Springs. Give me Ted Morse, Jade.”

She handed me her phone.

“Mr. Morse? When was the last time you saw Colin?”

“I haven’t seen him in a week.”

“He was in Denver a day ago.”

“He won’t see me.”

“Gee,” I said sarcastically. “I wonder why.”

“This is all bullshit,” he said. “I’d never harm my son.”

“Nah, you’d just have others do it and pocket their money.”

“This is—”

“Spare me your fake outrage, Ted,” I said. “We’ll find Colin ourselves, and we’ll get to the bottom of this.” I ended the call and handed the phone back to Jade. “Man, he’s rotten. I’m glad he’s not your father-in-law.”

“Me too,” Jade agreed. “More than you can ever imagine.”

“Ruby gave me an address. I’m going to get you home and then go see Morse.”

“Bull. We’re already here in Grand Junction. If you take me home, he might move.”

“I can

’t have you involved in this,” I said. “You’re pregnant. Talon would never forgive me if—”

“Sorry. I’m going. I actually know this man. Maybe he’ll talk to me.”

I sighed. “I wish Ruby were here.”

“Me too. But I’m all you’ve got.”

“That’s not what I meant.”

“It’s exactly what you meant. Sorry. Your pregnant best friend will have to do.”

“No one I’d rather have at my back.”

True words. Just maybe not today.

Chapter Fifty-One

Bryce

Johnson gulped. “Put the gun down, man. You know I’m armed.”

“I can have a bullet between your eyes before you even think about reaching for your piece,” Joe said, “and Bryce has fifty pounds on your partner. Start talking. And don’t leave out a single dirty detail.”
