“Jaw gave me some painkillers,” Bryce said.
I do not trust these painkillers.
“What kind?” Sierra felt a stab of alarm.
It must have been audible, because Bryce replied, “Relax. Over the counter stuff.”

“Nothing big. Keeping track of some members of the Chosen as they move around. Hookwolf’s guys.”
“I know who they are.”
Probably worth keeping track of them, yeah. If you don’t, before you know it they’re somewhere you don’t expect, interfering with your plans.
