We watch them go. No one speaks until the door closes behind them. Angel turns his attention back to the table with the club girls. Both of them look terrified.
“Come here,” he says.
They stand on shaky legs and make their way over to Angel’s table.
“Did you see anyone with Razor today?”
They don’t answer, Tatum looks at the floor and Ivy is playing with her hands looking at Tatum.
“If you know something and don’t tell me this isn't going to end well for you.” Angel adds.
For a minute I don’t think they are going to talk, but then… “K..Kori saw him. She went to his room.” Ivy answers.
Angel’s eyes narrow slightly.
“Why?”
Tatum elbows Ivy and she goes quiet again. Axel swears quietly and Angel goes very still.
“What was she doing there?” He asks, giving them another chance.
My stomach tightens.
“Where is she?” he continues.
No one answers.
Cypher clears his throat, saying, “I can find her.”
Angel nods once. “Do it. And check all the club girls' call and message logs.”
Cypher is already moving before the sentence finishes, his brain working faster than anyone else in the room.
“She left twenty minutes ago,” he says almost immediately. “She still has her phone on, we can track it.”
That isn't a coincidence.
“That’s not all,” he adds quietly.
Angel looks at him, asking, “What?”
“Looks like Tatum got a text a few minutes before Kori and Razor left the compound.”
I realize I am grinding my teeth, so I unclench my jaw and take a deep breath.
“Who texted her.” Angel grinds out.
Cypher’s fingers move again, then he stops and looks up at… Axel. Saying, “Marisol”
Angel exhales slowly. “Fuck.”
Axel is beside Cypher in a flash, “That can’t be right, Marisol wouldn’t…”
“The timing lines up, Marisol sent a message to Tatum just after we left Four’s, and less than ten minutes later Kori and, I am assuming, Razor left the compound.”
Axel swears and starts to pace, then he stops beside Tatum, “What the fuck did she text you?”
Tattum is shaking, she doesn’t look up but she does answer, “I… I am sorry. I didn’t know that Kori would go to Razor, I just shared the message.”
