He laughs, backing away. “I’ll do that, just for you. Take care.”

The drive home isn’t long enough to think about, but Hercules gave me a lot to think about. But I still have other things to worry about before I forgive Silas.

Like the asshole that is parked in my driveway.

The chat with Elma was pointless. When we did find her, she damn near fell over when Buck crossed his arms and flexed his muscles. I swear if she had a life alert, she would be pressing it. But trying to get information out of her with Wel, Griff, and Leroy didn’t go as planned. She bitched and complained about having my buddies around being bullies. We left with no information on Nancy. I can’t stand not knowing the reason why.

Leroy wants to finish this job tonight, but what’s to finish when you have nothing to go on? I can’t do anything. Unless we find Nancy and what? Torture her, or get Taylor and risk being arrested? That’s all I canthink of for a plan, and I’m leaning toward Taylor because the cunt isn’t doing his job.

Buck comes storming back into the house and points at me.

“You fuckin’ idiot, you ruined it, didn’t you?”

Griff and Wel stare at him, then at me. “I didn’t do shit, we’re still planning.”

“Not this, with her. How could you fuck it up?”

I’ve never seen Buck so worked up before. How the hell did he talk to Teagan? “Was she here?” I turn to the front window.

“She was, she’s gone now. Looks like your stalking ways have rubbed off on her.”

I closed my eyes, feeling ashamed. They must’ve had a decent talk. Buck and his big mouth. “What did you say to her?”

“Nothing that she shouldn’t have known from the beginning. I can’t believe you, Silas. You’re a grown-ass man. Why are you lying? There’s no reason for it.”

“I was afraid.”

“Of what? Why are you so afraid of showing the real you?”

“Because I don’t like being vulnerable, and the thought of her not liking me hurts, so I hid.”

He walks over to me, placing his hands on my shoulders. “Silas, but you didn’t hide from her; youshowed her the real you, and she still stayed. You fucked up when you had the mask on and hid that from her. Can’t you see, she liked you from the beginning.”

“That’s enough of the mushy shit. We have work to finish,” Leroy says as he enters the living room.

“Aww, L. Don’t be like that. Just helping my boy get his girl back.” Buck pats my cheek before sitting on the couch.

“Maybe the dipshit should’nt of fucked it up in the first place. Now he’s trying to play hero by fixing her mistakes,” Griff says, looking annoyed.

I go to move, but Wel smacks the back of his head. “Don’t be a prick. Just cause you can’t get your dick sucked doesn’t mean you have to be a shrivelled up wiener to the rest of us.”

Griff touches his head and glares at Weldon. “Touch me again, and you’ll lose the hand.”

“I’m not scared.”

It was a mistake inviting them. I’m still wrapping my head around the idea of Teagan and Buck talking. He’s right, though, she never once belittled me. She always stayed true to who she was and never held back with me, yet I struggled to reciprocate that level of honesty.

Is Griff, right? I’m acting like Teagan’s hero by fixing what happened to her. Is that how she’ll see this?I hope that isn’t the case. I only want what is owed to her, and a part of me owes it to her. It’s my way of making up for my wrongdoings. I don’t expect her to forgive me, and we go back to how things were, but I need her to know that I’ll still do anything for her. I want to be friends.

“I say we kidnap the cunt and see what we can get out of her,” Griff says, pulling me from my thoughts.

“We aren’t doing that,” I snap at him.

“I say we grab her kid. He knows something,” Weldon adds.

I completely overlooked Blaine. He’s always attached to his mother’s hip, of course, he would have the inside scoop of what happened and who was involved. The asshole was probably there destroying her shop.

“We go after him. And I want his car.” Only Leroy would want Blaine’s car after we beat the shit out of him.
