eyes.
Caroline watched the Warriors and actually felt sorry for Steve. Then a thought came to her. "Then you can read Mika." She took a step forward and knew they were all looking at her red swollen eyes, but didn't care.
"That's what I thought and I tried." Adam frowned, looking away from her. "I think it only works on people I've had contact with in the past. At least, I think that's the case. I've never had contact with Jax's brother."
"Why in the fuck haven't you told me about this?" Sloan demanded, his tone harsh.
Adam looked around before focusing on Sloan. "Because I don't want everyone thinking I'm prying into their shit, as Steve pointed out," Adam answered, then looked a little embarrassed. "The only reason I did with Jax is because I just wanted to let Caroline know he would be back."
Caroline's stomach dipped at hearing that and tears welled up again, but she held them back.
"And he plans on being back, but he's heading to the club right now to look for Mika," Adam announced.
"Let's go. If you can do this, really do this, you're getting a raise." Sloan headed toward the door.
"Well, ain't that a kick in the balls," Steve hissed with a sour look on his face. "You can invade our privacy, even Sloan's, and he gives you a fucking raise."
"If he even thinks about reading me without my knowledge, he dies." Sloan was right behind Steve so he heard every word, but then he stopped, looking at Blaze. "Blaze, stay here with Caroline."
"No problem." Blaze gave a short nod.
"No, I'll be fine." Caroline followed them out the door. "You might need him."
Sloan stopped and turned toward her. "Blaze is staying until Jax gets back."
"He's not coming back," Caroline replied, trying her best not to embarrass herself again.
Sloan shook his head, staring down at her. "He'll be back."
"And what makes you so sure about that?" Caroline bit her lip, wishing she hadn't asked, hating that it made her sound desperate. She looked away, but Sloan caught her chin, turning her face back to his.
"Because it's what I would do," he replied, before walking out the door.
Caroline stared at his retreating back in shock. Reaching up, she touched her face where his hand had been while watching as the group climbed on their bikes and hopped into cars. Blaze went back to the roof as she stood on the porch watching everyone leave, feeling more confused than ever.
Chapter 8
Jax didn't even look Mika's way. He took a long swallow of his beer, finishing it off before gently placing the bottle on the bar. "What do you want, Mika?" Jax asked calmly, though inside he was primed and ready, wanting nothing more than to kill Mika on the spot. Too many innocent people were in the way, preventing him, so he couldn't make that move… yet.
"Oh, you know, the normal… mayhem, terror…. The list goes on and on," Mika said flippantly. "And what do you want, brother?"
Having no intention of playing Mika's game, Jax remained silent. His brother was conniving and very clever, but Jax knew him well, and that played in his favor.
"Hmmm, silence." Mika gave a nod and ordered a drink before turning on the stool toward Jax. "I bet I can answer my own question. Now, let's see, what does Jax want? I'd say number one on that list is vengeance, but then again, maybe not. It has been quite some time since the tragic death of our dear sister. Your priorities may have changed to, say, maybe a certain lovely creature who can talk to the dead and has a nice set of tits."
The only indication that Mika's words had any effect on him was the small tic in his jaw. Other than that, Jax remained outwardly calm, while on the inside, rage stormed through him, desperate for release on his brother.
"Ah, I see I've found that nerve." Mika chuckled before taking a sip of his drink. "Sweet Caroline. Yes, I know all about her and how she and her sister communicate with the dead. Pretty impressive. I would love to use her. I mean, talk to her about her special gift. I could put
