"Mengele the fu...I mean what are you up to little girl?""Nothing daddy." Nothing my ass! There were fumes coming out the beaker she was fucking around with. The pothead decided to give her a complete chemistry set and now I sleep with one eye open. The little shit scares me more than the fucks in the desert."I told you about lying to me?" She has this way of looking at me that makes me want to give her-her way in everything. "I'm not lying daddy, promise. Daddy can you get me some PVC?" That sounded innocent enough, but I'm not trusting that shit."What are you gonna use it for?" I folded my arms and waited for whatever was gonna come out of her mouth. Damn kid can twist the truth better than a politician. "Stuff." What the fuck? I sighed and rubbed the bridge of my nose where a headache was just getting started."I'm not getting it unless you tell me what it's for." She studied me like she was the adult and I the pain in the ass kid. "Hmm, I'll just have to ask somebody els
"Okay go back to your room and don't worry about it, but if you get any more messages from this person I wanna know about it." She kissed my cheek the way she's been doing since she was old enough to hold her head up on her own. "And Caitiebear, thanks for coming to me with this." She gave me her mother's smile before leaving the room. I was so proud of her for coming to me, but I couldn't let on that I'd seen it already of course. Then she'd tell her mother that I was spying and Kat would dig into my ass with her shit.There was no time to dwell I had to figure out what was going on. My first thought was the fuckers that had placed her in the middle of this trafficking shit, but lately that's always my first thought. I went after the IPO and did an intense trace. It's when I started hitting firewalls and the shit started bouncing all over the place that I knew I was on the right track."These motherfuckers." I had to think, if they can reach her, then they can send anything throug
"You have to ask? How's Caitie?" Jared stood by my side as always, ready to go to war. And as much as I would love to go it alone, I knew they'd never let that happen. "She's gonna be okay, a little shaken up but I took care of it. You should know I did a run on the Porters. I have their whereabouts as we speak. I have no problem coming back and helping these boys do what they have to, but I'm putting an end to my part of this deal now.""We shoulda taken them out since the night we left Law's place. When are we heading out?" Tommy was another who I knew I could count on. In the room were all the men who had ridden into the desert with me that long ago night. No one had ever mentioned it. It was just something we'd done, the same as we've done for others in need before and since.I was about to answer when my phone rang. I walked away to answer thinking it was probably Kat or one of the kids calling to let me know they'd made it home from school, but I picked up my stride when I sa
I'm not in the habit of giving an account of my actions to anyone but I wrestled with the idea of calling the others and letting them know what was going on. In the end, I decided not to. Just like sixteen years ago it wasn't just my head on the block. I wasn't about to jam up my guys for having my back.I headed for the house to put eyes on my wife and kids. This killing shit was getting too easy, but I wasn't gonna lose any sleep. I wasn't about to split hairs over anything that comes of this. Taylor Porter started this shit the day he put hands on what's mine. Doesn't matter that she wasn't mine then, scratch that, she was born mine. It doesn't matter that at the time his raping ass went after her I hadn't yet staked my claim, and anything that came behind my ending that fuck was a write off as far as I'm concerned.Now his parents and an uncle were out for revenge, that's their right. But it's also my right to fuck their shit up for coming into my space. I'll help the others wh
"He's taking up all my space." Her little hands went to her hips, which was something she'd picked up from her grandmother lately and which gives her daddy fits. "What space, you pay rent?" Oh this ought to be good."Daddy, don't be silly. So when's he going home?""He's not, what is it that you're doing down there anyway?""Stuff.""Stuff? What stuff, you're five years old you don't have any stuff." She rolled her eyes and hopped up on the bed for a cuddle.I pulled her in close for a smell of her hair. Her sister was getting too old for mommy time, which was heartbreaking, but I still had my little terror and her new baby brother. She studied her fingernails and toes, which were full of sparkles from the mani-pedi set my mom had given her for Xmas. Something else that had caused world war six in my house when Colt first saw it, but was also one of the things that tipped me off that he was up to no good.He'd been working up a good head of steam when he got a good look at
"Creed, Law here, we've got trouble.""What's up bro, the fuck is going on now?" We've been pretty much on alert ever since the little powwow a few weeks ago. I was trying to get shit cleaned up in my own backyard before heading to Georgia, but it looked like Colt, the fuck, wasn't gonna give me the chance."Colt's on the fucking loose is what's going on. Just got a call from Katarina and he's headed to the desert.""Oh shit." Brandon, Travis and Clay joined me just in time to hear that last part."We've got to head him off and we don't have much time, he's on the move." I need this shit. Dana Sue hasn't stopped throwing her guts up in three fucking weeks, the asshole sheriff has been making noises since we burnt out the fuckwit hate brigade and now this."Fuck, do we know which way he's headed?" There were a few routes from his neck of the woods to Arizona but only one that would take a lot less time. I gave Creed the particulars before deciding on the best place to meet so
I should've known she was up to some shit. I didn't stand around any longer than it took to fill them in, but I wasn't about to be deterred. I got back on my ride and left them to decide what they wanted to do. It didn't escape my notice that neither man even tried to talk me out of going, I'm pretty sure they knew it wouldn't have worked.I can't say I was surprised when they flanked me two minutes later, but I wasn't sure how I felt about them coming along. I knew what I was going there to do, and though I knew these boys lived by the same creed, I wasn't too sure about all the extra eyes and ears that I now had on my ass.No one said anything for the rest of the ride. My mind was focused on what laid ahead. The last time I was here I had a plan in place, this time I was playing this shit by ear. All I knew was the end result.When we were about half an hour out I was struck by an idea. I held my hand up and made a turn into the parking lot of the chain retail store we came up
His eyes flew open and I pulled the trigger. The splatter of his blood hit the wife in the face and neck and she swiped at it before her eyes flew open. "You shoulda left my kid alone lady. Say hello to your rapist son in hell." Her mouth opened but it was too late. The bullet had already left the barrel."You boys may wanna bitch out now, you might not have the stomach for this next part." They hadn't said a word, hadn't made a sound. I grabbed my bag and headed for the bathroom.I ran the water and emptied the bottles in the tub and went back to get the bodies. "This might take a while. I'm gonna toss the place, see if there's anything here that might give us some answers."They both stepped towards the tub and shook their heads. "That's cold bro damn." Creed walked out behind me. "I have to clean up this mess first. Fucking Creed stopped me from tossing the sheets and bed covers."No brother, if you don't want anyone knowing you were here then we have to clean them and put t
