aback at his totally unsympathetic tone.
    “You’re staying here,” King carried on relentlessly. “Together. You’re going to make it work between you. No arguments. No games. No involving my team. I don’t care what the hell happened between you, and I don’t care what happens next, if anything. You will do as you’re told, and you will help us help you. Am I being clear?”
    Spider and Ace nodded.
    “Good.” King stuck his massive hands in his jeans pockets. “Now, I want to talk to my people, so go to your rooms upstairs and settle in. You’ll find everything you need – clothes and towels and toiletries and even two laptops. No internet connection without a password, and the password changes every day and is given at our discretion, so deal with it. Spider, you’re the first door on the right at the top of the stairs. Ace, you’re at the end of the hall, first door on the left after the bathroom.” He lifted his chin. “Go.”
    “Yeah, but –” Spider began, then quailed under King’s ferocious glower. “I mean… could I ask a question? Please?”
    “Yeah. Shoot.”
    “How long?” Spider asked, and the words were almost defeated in their smallness. “Am I looking at weeks here, King? Months? Have you got a timeline to fix this mess with the MC? Or is it… is this something that you have no plan of action for? Maybe the truth is that it’s impossible to do anything, and now I need to just – just put my life on hold for an undetermined time.” He swallowed hard. “I don’t want that, but I think if that’s what I’m looking at, the fair thing is to tell me.”
    King gazed at Spider steadily, but not unkindly. He was well aware that this whole situation sucked donkey balls, and sucked them big -time, but it was what it was, and everyone had to sort out a way to cope. It wasn’t going to be anything like easy, but then again, when had anything to do with Jensen and his MC goon squad ever been a cake-walk?
    “OK,” King said, more gently. “I know we just upended your whole life, man. I do. We’re doing it with your best interests at heart, but still… your life has just ground to a halt. I’m sorry for that.”
    Spider nodded, unbending a little bit.
    “To answer your question about if we have a plan: the short and sweet answer is ‘yes’. We’ve seen this coming for a long while, Spider, and even though we didn’t anticipate how it would all come about…” Here King threw Ace a look; a part of him still couldn’t believe that Ace had blown Jensen away. “… we did know that it was inevitable. We knew that Jensen was going to end up dead, and Ace’s informant status was going to be compromised one way or the other… and when it was, he’d be exposed and in danger from his own MC.”
    Spider shot a look at Ace himself. “You knew that he’d be exposed, King. Not me .”
    “That’s true,” King admitted. “We didn’t expect for you to get dragged in. We thought that you were safe and away, and so you being here is a bit of a surprise.”
    “Uh-huh,” Spider said, and now there was an edge to his voice. “But me being here doesn’t come down to you , does it? It’s not your fault.”
    Now every eye in the room went to Ace, sitting there on the sofa and staring at his hands. At the change of mood in the room – because the atmosphere had suddenly gone heavy and electric with accusation – he raised his gaze at last.
    His disinterested, disdainful gaze.
    Those black eyes met every other eye in the room, and although he didn’t curl his lip or give everyone the finger, he might as well have. The lack of concern or taking of responsibility in his expression was nothing short of breathtaking, and Tex for one suddenly felt that it was a real struggle to not pound Ace Cuddy’s stupid, smug face into the wooden floor.
    King, however, wasn’t fooled. Not even a little bit. He’d heard the tremor in Ace’s voice a few hours earlier, when the other man had
