Badboy Ace novel Chapter 42

Ryn's pov

"That's like an hour drive to reach there, we'll go early in the morning hopefully she'll be there." I mention as I looked at them both waiting for them to agree.

"That sounds like a plan bellissima, but we're forgetting one thing, how exactly are we getting there? We can't go on your motorcycle I'd be spotted easily on that thing." Ace claims.

"You're right but I can't ask Nate to borrow his car. He needs it for work." I mumbled.

"I brought my jeep you know, how else would I have gotten here, did you seriously think I would walk on foot?" Becca claims and raises her brows at Ace.

Ace chuckles. "Of course not?" He says more like a question. I let out a giggle and was about to comment when Nate burst through the door.

"Who's big ass black jeep that's parked in front of the gate? Couldn't the owner park the damn thing somewhere better? I mean I could've barely pass through-" He speaks but stops when he notices that I have company.

He nudges his head to Becca and closes the door. "Who's the red haired chick, is she lost?"

I sighed and pinched the bridge of my nose. "Nate, this is Ace's sister, Becca. It's her-"

I get cut off by a very angry looking Becca. "I'm the owner of that big ass black jeep," She then turns to me after giving a glare to Nate and points her thumb in his direction. "Hey Ryn who's that big headed asshole at the door?"

Nate's eyes turns to slits of rage as he hears Becca's words. Ace chooses that moment to burst into fits of laughter. "That's exactly what I had thought at first Becca." He adds.

I groaned internally. A fight will surely happen if I don't stop them soon.

"Enough Ace, Becca this is my brother Nate, he's a cop." I inform her and wave Nate over.

"Hear that Ariel? I'm a cop so if I were you I'd be careful what I say." Nate warns and comes closer towards us.

Becca snorts. "You think that you being a cop scares me? I've killed many men who were much scarier than you could ever be, so calm your tits puny little officer. By the way my name is Becca not Ariel."

I didn't know if to stop their argument or just let them be, because they quite frankly were entertaining to watch and I could tell Ace was also enjoying their banter.

Nate seethes and gets in her face. "Look Ariel, I'm the chief of police son, I'm a very dangerous guy when angered so I suggest you watch that little mouth of yours."

Becca rolls her eyes and steps away from him. "Oh I'm so scared." She mocks.

Nate looks ready to strangle her and that's when I decided to step in and pull him away. "Look Nate I know you're angry with her but she came here to help-"

"Are you sure we can trust her? She looks fishy to me." Nate says directing his words to Becca who's fist were clenched at her sides.

"You fucking dic-" Becca growls taking a step forward only to be stopped by Ace who holds her shoulder and pulls her back.

"Behave Becca." Ace warns.

I sighed, I have three children to take care of. "Okay everyone listen up! Nate and Rebecca will be going to get the information from Miranda and hopefully y'all get there before anyone does, we can't take the chance if she mentions us to Stark. Ace and I will be going to dead-end early in the morning." I announced.

"Why do I get to go with Ariel?" Nate whines.

"It's Becca asshole." Becca spits.

"Same thing." Nate responds unbothered about Becca's attitude.

"Because I'm suspended and if Stark sees me near her he'll suspect something and Ace can't go since he's wanted. Becca will be your backup if anything happens, if what you are saying is true I'm sure Robert will try to shut Miranda up before anyone gets a word out of her, Becca knows how to handle her own, I can vouch for that." I insist.

Nate let's out a groan. "So I have to babysit Ariel? Doesn't she rather go back in the ocean to meet her friend flounder?"

"The only one who will be babysat is you puny man, so get your head out of your ass! And trust me I don't want to spend a second with you, but if it has to do with protecting my brother then I'll do it without a thought." Becca snarls.

"Okay stop it both of you!" I yelled, gaining their attention. "Look, we need to trust each other."

Nate sighs and nods. "Fine I'll meet you at the hospital at six a.m. don't be late Ariel."

"What hospital and why can't you come meet me so we can go together? I won't have my jeep because Ace and Ryn will be going with it." Becca questions, I could tell she was irritated and mad with the way she scowled at Nate.

"Jude's, it's thirty minutes from here. And the reason why I don't want to give you a ride is because I don't like the thought of a fish in my car." Nate shrugs.
