“So we’re agreed, we’re doing this.” I looked around the room until they all nodded their assent. Dana Sue was the loose ticket but I can work on her. She rightfully fears what Law would do if he finds out what we’re up to, talk about testy. But we need to do this.
The men stick together and look after each other why can’t we? One of us have an issue and it’s up to us to handle it. We don’t need our men to fight every battle for us. At least Melissa understood that, that girl’s a scrapper. But the others needed to be dragged into seeing things our way.
“Shit we’ve got company put it away.” We stuffed papers under chair seats and schooled our expressions as Kyle and Travis busted into the room like the damn DEA.
Chapter 6
LAW
***
When the package from Logan finally came I didn’t know what the hell I was looking at. He hadn’t said too much on the phone but that’s a SEAL for you, they’re not the most trusting sorts. Probably think my shit’s bugged.
Along with the book that looked like some sort of album was a portfolio on some guy name Stockton. I put that shit aside for now. He would be the bird the SEALs wanted me to smoke out. He didn’t look like military and Lo hadn’t said exactly what it was he’d ran from, but I was sure I’d learn all I needed to soon enough.
I turned my attention to the album growing more and more confused with each page until I got to the middle and saw her face there. I went cold first before the trembling started in my legs and made its way up to my arms and the rest of me; instant headache. “What the fuck?” I threw the book across the room crashing it into the wall. I had to calm down before I went to get it back, but my hands were still trembling.
I went through the book again, this time with new eyes. I started to reach for the phone to call Lo and then I saw another familiar face. It had been a while since I’d seen her, but with my training a face wasn’t something I’d forget. “Fuck me this is gonna be bad.” I had to make another call. I slammed the shit closed feeling sick to my gut. What did it all mean? I’d handled enough shit for the government to know what I was looking at. But I didn’t want to believe it. Who the fuck could be responsible for this shit?
The life I’d led in the military before moving back wasn’t one that could be shared with anyone. From the time I made it out of basic I was handpicked for the berets. All of the jobs I’d done were strictly top secret and you needed the highest security clearance in the land to get even a whiff. I hadn’t even shared it with my wife or my brother, the two closest people to me in the world. There were things that I’d take to the grave with me, known only to me, and the men who’d served with me. But if what I just saw was what I think it is, somebody knew more than they should.
I made sure the coast was clear before I put the call in to Creed, telling him to get his ass to my place as soon as possible. “You want to tell me what’s going on?”
“I’d rather not brother just get here as soon as possible. Did you get married yet?”
“Working on it as we speak.”
“You can do it here, there’s a priest or preacher or whatever the fuck on call here the last few weeks. I think the boys are holding him hostage.” I said it as a joke but the shit was true. It seemed marriage was on the menu for me, and my men this season.
I went in search of Dana Sue after I hung up. I had a prickling suspicion as to why she was in that book, and though I knew she was safe here with me now, I still needed to feel her, to see her, to reassure myself. I wouldn’t give into the fear that threatened to choke me. No one was going to get near her not as long as I had breath in my body.
I knew that peace shit wasn’t gonna last. But hands down I would prefer Dana Sue’s pain in the ass bullshit than dealing with this fuckery. I found her in my brother’s house looking guilty as hell with my cousin and brother, riding herd on her and her crew. Any other time I would’ve asked what the hell they’d done now but in light of what I’d just learned I had more important things on my mind than her usual antics.
