“Let me know if I need to put in another order of pain-relief cream.” Jay looked up with a hum. “I might just do it anyway. Ten orders in a month and I get a free scented candle. I’ve been wanting to try their Midlife Crisis.”
They all huddled around Jay’s desk near King’s door, which Ryden had conveniently left cracked open.
“Why didn’t you warn him?” Jack whispered at Jay, who lifted his big blue eyes to Jack, his soft boyish features making him look far more innocent than he was.
“Because he made fun of my bow tie and therefore must be destroyed.”
Ace snickered behind Jack. “Marine’s got balls. Gotta give him that much.”
“He’s got somethin’ all right,” Jay muttered, turning his attention back to his book.
“Hey, Jay. Your Southern is showing,” Lucky teased.
Jay put his hand to his chest and fluttered his lashes. “Well, butter my butt and call me a biscuit.”
“You are adorable,” Lucky replied before everyone turned their attention back to King’s office.
“Sure thing, Daddy.”
Silence.
More silence.
“Fred, I’m going to have to call you back. Yeah, thanks.”
Holy fuck! King had been on a call.
“What did you call me?” King’s low, menacing rumble had Jack covering his mouth. He didn’t know whether to laugh or shout out a warning to poor Ryden.
“Um. Daddy?”
Silence.
“Holy shit!” Ryden shouted before a blur of movement and color that Jack realized was Ryden, flew out from King’s office, and Jack didn’t hesitate. He grabbed Joker’s arm, and they scrambled their asses the hell out of there, running from Jay’s desk.
“Ace!” King bellowed, and Jack knew what was coming next.
“It was the Wild Cards!”
Fucking Ace.
Ryden hid behind Mason’s desk, and Jack motioned for him to get in the office. It was every man for himself, but still, Jack had to try. Ryden looked up at Mason, who glanced from King to Ryden and back before gingerly reaching down. Next thing they knew, Ryden was falling out from behind Mason’s desk. Everyone burst into laughter. Ryden got up and sped to Jack’s office in a crouch, as if King couldn’t see him.
“You shoot a guy once and he holds it against you for life,” Ryden grumbled as he crouched beside them.
Jack snickered.
“Since you guys have so much free time on your hands, how about you get your asses downstairs to the mats.”
Jack let his head fall against the door with a groan before turning to glare at Joker. “See what you fucking did?”
“Motherfuck.” Joker punched Ryden in the arm. “This is your fault, asshole.”
Ryden shoved Joker in return. “My fault? You’re the one who goaded me into it, jackass.”
“And you couldn’t wait until he got off the call?”
“I didn’t think.”
“Clearly. Fucking crayon eater.”
“Fuck you, Sacha.”
“We’re all equally fucked,” Jack said, standing. He let out a resigned sigh. “Come on, assholes. Let’s go.”
Ryden stared at him. “Wait, he really wants us down on the mats?”
“Yep.”
Ryden looked nervously from Jack to Joker and back. “What, um… what’s he going to do?”
“Kick our asses.”
“He’s going to spar with us?”
Joker cackled while Jack shook his head. By the time they left the office, King was gone. “No. He’s going to kick our asses.”
“Are you telling me none of you hotshots can take King down?”
Joker snorted. “Don’t get cocky, Marine. No one in this building can take King down. They’ve all tried and failed. It’s hella fun to watch ’em try, though.”
“Until it’s your turn,” Jack said with a chuckle, hitting the down arrow at the elevator.
“Legit.”
“Where’s your furry friend?” Ryden asked Joker.
“Chip has his own training schedule, and it’s during hours when no one else is on the mats.”
“Why’s that again?”
“Are you kidding me? We’ve got a building full of former military sparring together. Shit gets intense. Chip’s a soldier. The last thing we need is for things to get out of hand and for him to think one of his boys is getting attacked. We don’t need anyone losing any limbs.”
Ryden nodded slowly, eyes wide. “You know, sometimes I wonder whether I’d have been safer in jail.”
The elevator doors to the basement slid open in time for them to see Ace soar by, landing with a groan somewhere to their left. Joker chuckled and patted Ryden’s shoulder as he slipped past.
“Welcome to the family, pal.”
