Bloody Broken (A Bloody Series Book #2) by Emily Barker Page A

it all to you in detail. That reminds me. Claude? Could you run down to the shopping area around the corner and pick up some women’s clothes? Jeans size three I’d say and a long sleeved t-shirt, small. Maybe some socks and some underwear. Something nice.”  Adam asked. Claude just stared at him.
        “He forgot to mention the part where he tupped her last night. That’s the best part in my opinion,” Dom told Claude.
        “You know, I am about two seconds away from severing your head from your shoulders,” Adam growled.
        “You slept with a suspect?” Claude asked, incredulous.
        “Lord give me strength. No, I did not sleep with a suspect. She is no longer under question.”
        “You don’t even have proof she’s telling the truth! You were just swayed by a pretty face and a nice body. Again, I might add!” Dom declared.
        “Keep talking about her like that. I’m coming up with ways to display your skull in my apartment.”
        “Dom, I think he likes her,” Claude said quietly.
        “Of course he likes her. He wouldn’t have slept with her if he didn’t,” Dominic said.
        “No, I mean like 'Likes her' likes her. I’ve never heard him get so emotional about a girl before. Or anything, really.” Claude was staring at him like he was a bug under a glass.
        “You two will stop speculating about me, and you will do your jobs. Dominic, what did you think you discovered about Paulys testimony?” Adam asked. Dom stared at him before answering.
        “He believes himself to be an avenger of some kind. Devin Keller was the chief guard for Master Orleans until five years ago he was fired and shunned from the Pack. Colin MacDonnell was a top ranking guard that left when he did. They went to ground and haven’t been heard from since. Not by Colin’s wife or by Devin’s children. Pauly believes they are rounding up stolen merchandise and it’s somehow tied into bringing down the Pack order. That’s what I got,” Dom said.
        “Yeah, that’s pretty much what I got. I think he thought since he was doing something good this time that he wouldn’t be arrested. But I wasn’t able to figure out what he thought he was doing that was okay.” Claude put in.
        “Don’t you see? He’s talking about stealing back the females that Beta was kidnapping. That’s why he’s convinced he’s doing something good for once, because he was. The part about taking down the pack was obviously about the Beta and Master Orleans,” Adam explained.
        “Or, he was a part of stealing the girls to begin with, and it’s all a plot to take down the Master himself. Or more likely, for Keller to take him down. He’s pissed about being shunned from the Pack. It’s obvious now.” Dom was really starting to piss Adam off.  Claude must have picked up on Adam's mood. He changed the subject.
        "You asked me to check out Gloria's phone records, I have them right here,"he said, pulling the files out of his folder. Adam looked over them.
        "There's nothing here."
        "Yeah, I know. She hasn't called anybody in days. If she's spying for her Father, she hasn't reported in yet."
        "Alright. Keep an eye on it I guess," Adam told him, a little baffled. He was sure Gloria was answering to Jones.  “I’m going to go downstairs and get Victoria some new clothes. You two are going to round up the three Weres and meet in my room in a half an hour.” Adam stormed out of the room without a backwards glance. He went back to his room to tell Victoria he was picking her up something new to wear, when he caught her talking to someone. He stopped just outside the bathroom door to listen, but she was speaking Inuit again. Most likely talking to Colin. He was going to have to learn the language so she couldn’t trick him. It sounded like she was placating him but he was still angry that she was talking to him. He slid into the room silently. She looked
