After She's Terminal The Alpha Regrets (Elaine and Lucas) novel Chapter 276

Chapter 276

“Not unless he’s still peddling. Bet his operations gotten bigger than just a dusty setup in an attic,” Slater said.

“Think you know where we could find him?”

“Think I know where we can find a seller who might know,” Slater replied, looking over at her. “If you’re willing to go.”

Elaine took a breath, then nodded. “Let’s do it.”

Ten minutes later, they were pulling up outside a dingy–looking building in the warehouse district. Elaine was suddenly glad to have Slater along for the ride with her. Even if she’d found this place on her own, there’s no way she’d want to go in there alone.

Slater stepped out, adjusting his jacket. “You leave the talking to me, alright?”

“I can try,” Elaine muttered.

A smirk pulled at his lips as Slater took the lead inside. He was recognized at the door, and Elaine wondered if he’d bought from here before.

She’d been quick to trust he wasn’t a part of the attacks on the territory, but she was quick to forget that he had a past of his own. One that wasn’t exactly clean. Though she was thankful for that right about

now.

The room they entered was dimly lit, though it looked clean, at least. There was a couch along the left wall, table to the right. A desk sat in the back with a man hunched over it.

“Little Nicky,” Slater greeted, stepping forward.

The man looked up. “It’s Nick.”

“Still so particular.”

“You bringing civies into this now?” Nick asked, glancing toward Elaine. She tried to look nonchalant, but she was as tense as a bowstring.

“Nah, just a friend.”

“You here for another hookup?” Nick asked.

“Information this time.” Slater sat down at the chair across from the desk. He leaned forward. “Always wondered who supplied you. You were never top dog. Is a certain…Selim Richter familiar to you?”

Nick looked up slowly. “Selim…”

“Been looking for him. Got a question about his products,” Slater said easily. Elaine leaned forward slightly, very curious as to the answer.

“Everyone knows Selim. You’re a fool to come looking, though,” Nick said. He stood up. “Not sure I have what you’re looking for.”

“You do,” Elaine said, stepping forward. “I can see it in your eyes, you’re just scared.
