things out. See what we are dealing with first hand,” Sheppard asked.
    “I’m still looking into it. Looks like they keep the location secure. It shouldn’t be a problem for me to find it, but I just need a little more time.”
    “Do what you do. No loose ends this time. We don’t need any surprises.” I hated to bring it up, but we couldn’t afford another mistake. We should’ve known that Duce was Tessa’s brother, but no one made the connection until it was too late.
    We talked for another hour or so, before I decided I needed to head back. I made my way to the door and said, “I’m going back to the hospital. Courtney is taking care of some things for me, and she’s supposed to stop by and see Taylor. I figure she’s talking her ear off by now,” I said with a smile.
    “You got that right,” Sheppard said laughing.
    “Give her a break, guys. She’s just excited. She’ll calm down soon enough,” Bobby said as he shook his head. I could tell he really cared about her, so I let it go. She was a great girl, and I appreciated her coming out there to help. I could deal with the chatterbox a little while longer.
     
     

Chapter 6
    Taylor
     
    This girl is a nut. A sweet nut, but a nut all the same. Right after my parents left, Courtney came bouncing in my room. She was all smiles, but I noticed that she had a hard time looking at me. I still look like shit, so I don’t blame her.
    “I’ve got all your stuff packed up, and I found your laptop and your Kindle. Your apartment is precious! You have the coolest furniture. It’s so colorful and inviting. My place needs more color. I’m surrounded by natural undertones like sand and ivory, and it’s sooo boring! I need to perk the place up. I made the mistake of letting my mother help me decorate, and now I’m kind of stuck with it. Maybe you could come see it sometime.”
    “I’d like that. Thanks for getting my things. I’m not sure what Ren has at his place, so it will be nice to have all of the basics.”
    “Well, you got ‘em now. You’ll be all set when it’s time to go. Do you know when they’ll let you leave?”
    “I think it’ll be in the morning. They still have me under observation for my concussion. I’m feeling a lot better though, and I really just want to get out of here.”
    “Bobby said you’re going to be staying with Renegade for a while. I didn’t realize you were seeing each other,” Courtney said, but I could see that she was questioning me about him.
    “We’re not seeing each other. We’ve been friends for years. I saw him a lot because he was my brother’s best friend. They used to hang out at the house when I was younger.”
    “If you say so. I think he’s pretty hot. I’d be all over that if I were you. He’s not really my type, though. He has that brooding, mysterious thing going on. I’d probably drive him nuts. Besides, Bobby and I have been seeing each other, and I think I’m really falling for him. He’s so damn sexy on that motorcycle, and he makes me forget everyone around me when he’s in the room.”
    “He sounds like a great guy, Courtney. I’m glad you found him.”
    There’s a light tap on the door before Renegade walks in. Damn, he takes my breath away. He was wearing faded jeans with several worn out places around the knees, and a tight as hell black t-shirt. I could almost make out the ridges of his six pack, but his DC cut is in the way. His hair is in disarray and makes me want to run my fingers through it. The corners of his mouth curl into a sexy grin when he figures out that I am gawking at him. I can’t wait to pay him back for this shit. When I get better, I am going to wear my tight little black dress and hooker heels just so I can parade all around him. It’ll serve him right for looking so damn good while I’m a hot mess.
    “How ya feeling?” Renegade asked.
    “I’m feeling better. Courtney has been keeping me company while you’ve been gone. She packed some of my
