Sommers looked at him in surprise, shaking his head. “When the hell did you get out, Alex?”

“A week ago. I was a perfect angel, so they let me out early. Good behavior.” Jax winked, getting a grin in reply.

Jax shrugged. “Good question. Depends on whether I can find a job that needs my particular skills.”

Sommers smiled slowly. “Is that a hint?”

“Nope. A request, I guess you could say. I’m short of funds and need to make some money, so of course the first person I thought of was you.”
