to be changing it around, isn’t it?” Seth asked.
     
    “That’s the beauty of it. We don’t have to change anything except how we get into the building. The rest of the plan goes as we planned it.”
     
    “I agree. But how do we know we can trust her? That’s a big unknown,” Marshall pointed out.
     
    “I know. But I have given her several chances to cross me, and she hasn’t yet. I’m not ready to fully trust her, but if you two are agreeable, I will bring her in if I think I can. I think the risk of using her is less than the risk of not using her.”

    Tina knew that Marshall, Seth, and Jack were talking about her from the way they kept looking in her direction as she showed Michelle how to distract Nic while reaching into her pocket. Something was going on, but she couldn’t figure out what.
     
    “Tell me about Jack,” Tina said as Michelle practiced dipping into Nicole's pockets.
     
    “Not much to tell. He’s the vice president of the Desert Sons. It’s his club, even if he is just the vice president. He said he doesn’t want to be president. ‘Too many headaches’ he says,” Nic said.
     
    “Any idea why would he give me a second chance like he did?”
     
    Michelle and Nicole twittered. “You’re really not sleeping with him?”
     
    “No, why?”
     
    “That’s a surprise,” Michelle said. “He’s a real ladies’ man. Rumor is that he’s quite the stud, too. I’m surprised you haven’t fallen under his spell. Lord knows if I weren’t married, I would fuck the shit out of him.”
     
    “Michelle! I can’t believe you just said that!” Nic scolded playfully. “You and Seth are perfect for each other. Hell, you even do those body builder competition things together.”
     
    “Oh, please, save it. You would do the same, and you know it.”
     
    Nic opened her mouth as if to deny it. “Okay, you’re right. I would. But Marshall and Jack are best friends, and I couldn’t do that to Marshall even if I wanted to.”
     
    “The night he caught me, there was a woman here,” Tina said quietly. She didn’t know what Michelle and Nicole were bitching about. Yes, Jack was good looking, but Seth and Marshall weren’t exactly frogs. Especially Seth. He filled out a shirt nicely.
     
    “Just one?” Nic asked, then laughed. “Sorry, that wasn’t nice. I’m not surprised. He picks up two or three different women a week sometimes. A few have tried to tie him down, but he’s not going to be tied to just one woman.”
     
    “Have you known him long?” Tina asked Nic.
     
    “About ten years. He and Marshall were friends when I met him. They grew up together.”
     
    “He said he buys and sells cars.”
     
    “Jack? Yeah, something like that. He’s too much a free spirit to be tied to a desk job.”
     
    “What’s Marshall do? Or you, for that matter?”
     
    “I work at the DMV. Marshall, he works at the Harley dealership. He’s the customer finance guy there. Seth works there too as the sale manager.”
     
    “Sweet!” Tina teased. “Seth sells them, Marshall makes sure they can afford them, and you make sure they can ride them.”
     
    Nic laughs. “I hadn’t thought of it that way, but yeah.”
     
    “What about you, Michelle?”
     
    “Me? Nothing so exciting. I work at Walmart. Assistant store manager. What about you, Tina? How did you end up breaking in?”
     
    Tina grimaced and gave them an abbreviated story. “I nearly pissed myself when I heard that gun being cocked,” she finished.
     
    “Yeah. I can imagine. I’ve been with Jack and Marshall when they have gone shooting. Jack, he just doesn’t miss. You’re lucky you’re still alive,” Nic said.
     
    “I know. I will always be grateful to Jack for … well … taking the time to help me. So he can shoot, and according to rumor, fuck. What else is he good at?” Tina asked as she tried to fill in the blank spots in her picture of her benefactor.
     
    “I haven’t seen it myself, but
