LOGINPenny opened her eyes and saw people standing around, glaring at her. A man she didn’t know was cleaning the wound on her shoulder. She looked up and saw the man looking back that didn’t seem to hate her… The one who had ptotected her with his body when the car drove past the first time.
She looked around and couldn’t see her small duffle. In a panic, she tried to pull away from them.
Brian looked away from the photo and still kept his mouth shut. He knew his life would be over if he brought those three into this. They had done a messy job for him all that time ago and no one ever knew of it. If this got out it would ruin him.Breed showed the photo to Kizzy.She looked at the photo and nodded. “That’s them. It’s hard to forget a scar like that.”“What about the rest of it?” he asked Penny.Penny reached for the papers her mother had written. She paused to stare at Breed. “Before you read them, you must know something. What she wrote here I had no clue about until after I read this. Hell, I didn’t even know my family until I read it.” She looked over at Brian, then back at Breed. “The man wit
Breed gave her a nod. “Trust us or not, it’s your choice but without us you may never get the answers you want.”Penny looked around the room again, stopping briefly on the man they called Crow. He was staring at her so steadily that she had to frown at the intensity of his gaze. Her heart began to beat a little faster as she caught his eyes.Three men came back down the hall. Two of the men were dragging Brian. The older man was struggling but the younger two were still dragging him forward. They carried him all the way into the main room and threw him not so gently into a chair at the table closest to where Breed stood.Penny recoiled as she looked into the older man’s eyes. The hatred in his gaze scared her.

In a panic, she tried to pull away from them.The man who’d saved her leaned forward to keep her on the table she was lying on.She looked up at him and cried out, “Where’s my duffle? I need my bag!”“Don’t worry,” he told her. “We got it.”“Please give it to me,” she pleaded. “I need my bag.&rd
Crow stared at her. He took in her appearance and couldn’t believe what he was looking at.She looked like a small woman but she was most definitely a woman. She stood at maybe five feet tall with copper colored hair and blue eyes which at the moment were spitting fire his way.“Who the hell are you?” he asked again.She backed up a step or two and just stared at him. “I don’t have to tell you a thing.”“Oh sweetcakes, that’s where you’d be wrong.” He growled. “I live here and I need to know what kind of trouble just arrived. Someone obviously followed you here and they look like trouble to me.”“I have no idea who they were.
Penny parked her car off the road, behind some trees and looked around the area. It was late in the afternoon, almost evening by this time. She thought she’d lost the lead car a couple of times but she managed to follow them all the way from Huntsville to here.Looking around she had to wonder what this place was and why they brought Brian Williams here of all places. And who were these men exactly? She looked over at the passenger seat at the small duffle bag that held her entire life. This had been hard but it was something she had to do.From the time she was ten and remembered her mother coming home, she’d been excited to print out the pictures she’d taken that morning. An hour later, she’d been scared to death. Her mom had come to her late that night, woke her up and gave her a packet. She had held her daughter tight and cried a bit
“Woman,” Monster admonished Roslyn’s harsh comment.Kizzy shrugged. “She’s right though, his heart is cold to anyone but himself. Himself and money are all that matters to him.”“Help me get him to the Infirmary so I can monitor him.” Cowboy grabbed his shoulders while Monster grabbed his legs. They carried him down the hall and they disappeared into the Infirmary.Crow came out of the security room and went to Breed right away to whisper in his ear.Breed frowned. He looked over at Maverick. “Were you guys followed from Huntsville?”Maverick glanced over at Buck and saw him shake his head. He looked back at Breed. “We didn’t notice anyone following
“Yes, that was exactly why he brought his men here. He came here to kill you.” Shyla shook her head and went on, “He wanted to see the brother, this Jericho his dad always told him about. His dad../. your dad always used to point out the difference between the two of you when he got pissed off at B
Roslyn continued, “He had forwarded the reports to the proper people but they wanted the paper copies because the information on his reports wasn’t what Brian Williams had turned in. Williams’ report didn’t show the oil or the gold deposits.
“So how do we stop a man with his kind of power?” Greer wanted to know.“We cut him off at the knees and watch him bleed,” Kizzy stated.“And I
Roslyn went on, “My father told me what was in the report he gave Brian Williams. I know what’s buried here. I also know he’s going to start frac mining in a few weeks, once the title for the land here is in his name.”
