Free MC: Moniz: Book 9 by L. Ann Marie Page A

don’t hang with Brothers.” She nods making me smile. She’s a cute kid.
    “We need to get Aubrey a bath and some clean clothes on. Can you show us where we do that Geek?” Jess says. “I bet Marty would like a shower too.”
    I nod knowing Jess knows where, but I show them upstairs to the bathroom. Jess walks into the bedroom to the left. “Marty, there are clothes in here for both of you.” Harley keeps Aubrey’s hand bringing her into the bathroom. She starts the tub filling and lets Aubrey go to pull a bottle out of her bag. She shows Aubrey and dumps a shit load into the tub giggling. She doesn’t say much, but she’s just like Tess. Always happy. “You can’t be in here Geek, Harley’s going to help get Aubrey all cleaned up and ready for bed. Marty is downstairs taking a shower. Steve said you have some work to do with the computer.”
    Jess is smart. I nod and squat down. “This is my house. I’m not going anywhere but to my office across the hall. You need to get clean, when you’re done, come to my office and see me.” She nods but doesn’t let my hand go. “You trust me, you can do this. Yeah?” She nods and lets me go.
    I throw chin to Jess and walk straight into my office. The laptop is sitting on the desk. Jess. I smile flipping on my station. I plug it in and grab the scanner. It’s tracked. Fuck. I need the tablet to see where to. I hit the jammer box and start unscrewing the casing. While I’m working I call in to Security. VP shows on my screen. “The laptop has tracking.”
    “Digs picked it up and got you covered.” I pull the tracker out and show him. “Anythin’ on it?”
    “I haven’t gotten into it yet just looked for tracking.”
    “Hit me when you get somethin’,” he says then shuts the feed down. I take a quick look at the feeds. Fuck, they have everyone running. Tracking shows the kids and women on the compound. I look again. Brantley and Victor are in KC. I push it away and start going through the laptop.
    Jess comes in and sits on the side of me and I hope to Christ VP doesn’t pop back on. “She was raped.” I freeze but don’t look at her. “She has fingerprint marks on her legs and arms and had blood on her legs. She smelled like it wasn’t that long ago and she wasn’t protected from disease. Something is wrong with her foot, she has bruises on her back and arms, there’s a knot on her head that’s tender. Tell me they’re dead.”
    My jaw is clenched so hard it’s causing my head to hurt. I take a breath and blow it all out my nose slowly. When I can relax my jaw I look at her. More tears. “They’re working right now. What do I need to do for her?”
    “Kill them.” She waits for an answer, since I don’t have one, I throw her chin. “Jake’s old lady is coming tomorrow at nine to check her. She’ll need you to help with that. The kids can’t see this so you’ll have to take that for her.” I nod. After what she’s been through I can do that for her. Five years old. Fuckin’ pussies better be dead. She gets up and goes back in the bathroom.
    My hands are shaking, but I get back to the laptop. I pull security up on my open chat again. Pres comes on my screen. “There’s a list of IP addresses and what they’re for. It looks like she was storing them, but it was hidden.”
    He starts signing and I look behind me. Marty is standing behind me signing back. She nods and pulls the other chair over then pulls the laptop to her. “She has another file of emails to and from the pussies and bidders. She tried to follow the money,” he says. He sounds tired. I look from what Marty is doing to the screen. “Jess talk to you?”
    He’s not tired, he’s hurt; he feels more than the rest of us. “Yeah.”
    His hands go through his hair. “It’s a lot for a Brother, but she needs you.”
    “I got it Pres she’s not going through that alone.”
    He looks relieved. “Thanks Brother. Brantley is running addresses for us now. Send me what
