down to his collar bones. He was about average height and build, but there was a devilish twinkle in his eyes that put Logan at ease.
    “That would be us.”
    “I’m Dray,” he said as he extended his hand to Logan.
    Logan took it with a smile. “Logan.”
    Dray nodded. “Yeah, I recognized you from the pictures her father sent. I know who you are. Allie doesn’t, though. She’d have my head if she knew what I agreed to.”
    “Speaking of,” Chase said as he looked around.
    “She’s not here,” Dray said with a shake of his head. “She disappears from time to time.”
    “What do you know about where she goes?” Logan asked.
    Dray sighed and glanced around before motioning for Chase and Blaine to join them on Logan’s side of the truck. “Not enough. I’ve been with her here for about four years now. It took some serious pleading and threatening and it was only when I said I would follow her that she finally came clean. She hates that I know. It worries her.”
    “I can understand that,” Chase said.
    Dray nodded and continued. “She’s dealing with the cartel, which one I have no idea. There’s several down here. Other than what she’s told me, she keeps me out. Says it’s her way of protecting me and maybe it is, but…” Dray licked his lips before continuing, “I now know for a fact she’s in too deep and she’s scared. She would never admit that to me, but I can tell.”
    “Is it possible she’s turned?” Blaine asked.
    Dray shook his head. “No way! She’s stuck is what she is. She hasn’t gotten anywhere with this group. They’re too tight, too distrusting. But now she’s in so deep, she can’t get out. She needs your help, whether she wants to admit that or not. Her only way out alive is to bring them down.”
    “Bring them down?” Logan asked with a raised eyebrow. “We were sent here to see about her, not bring down a cartel.”
    Dray scowled and shook his head. “I know why you’re here. I’m asking you to not just see about her, but get her out.”
    Logan sighed and glanced toward the shop.
    “You’re the best of the best, right?” Dray asked with hope in his eyes.
    “We can protect her,” Blaine replied. “I’m not sure we can fight a war for her. We may be the best of the best, but we’re just three men.”
    “You don’t need to fight a war for her, just get her out.”
    “You said the only way to get her out was to bring them down.”
    “You only need to bring down one man.”
    Logan put his hands on his hips and shook his head in disagreement. “It’s not just one man. By cutting off the head, you will inflict some damage, but not enough to kill it. The head will grow back in the form of an eager second in command anxious to make his mark in the drug world. And his first order of business would be to go after Allie. She would know too much.”
    Dray shrugged in agitation. “So what the hell do we do?”
    “I’m not sure yet, but we’ll figure it out.” Logan gave Dray a pat on the back and nodded toward the garage. “First things first. Show us around; let us get familiar with the place before the boss lady gets back. We need to look as much like mechanics as possible, right?”
    Dray studied the three of them, then chuckled. “I’m not sure she’s going to believe it no matter what you do.” He nodded his head toward Chase. “Especially that one.”
    Chase stiffened and glanced down at himself. “What?”
    Blaine, Dray, and Logan chuckled as they walked into the garage. A grumbling Chase followed close behind.

Chapter Three
     
    Chase strolled around the garage tapping the socket wrench against his pant leg. He had to stop himself from drooling as he glanced under the hood of one of the many cars in the bay. Tanks of nitrous oxide leaned against the far wall, ready to be hooked up to one of the many possible engines. No street racer worth his salt would race without it.
    He ran his fingers along the sidewall of a red Honda Civic. Purple and
