sat
there, letting the rest of the day waste. His mind going back to a different
time. A time he should ’ ve
avoided then and definitely fucking avoided now.
    The door opened and Gaige came
walking in.
    “ Hey.
You okay? ”
    “ Define
okay, ” Miller said.
    “ You
need a drink? A bite to eat? A woman? ”
    “ Where ’ s Griffin ’ s brother? ”
    “ Gone, ” Gaige said.
    “ Gone
as in …”
    “ He ’ s not here anymore, Miller. That ’ s all you need to know. ”
    “ I
never knew about his family, Gaige. ”
    “ That ’ s how Griffin was. He came to us
after his real life career. He was smart, brave, and a little crazy for a man
his size and look. ”
    Miller grinned. “ He was like a fat dork, huh? ”
    “ And
if you said that to him, he ’ d
put a knife in your gut. ”
    Miller made a fist and slammed it
on the table. “ I can ’ t stop thinking about it all.
Today. Yesterday. Ten years ago. Tomorrow. Fuck. ”
    “ It ’ s a lot, bro, ” Gaige said.
    “ I
want to kill him in the worst way, Gaige. But I try to walk the straight path
here. I know what ’ s at
stake. I put a bullet in Jerry ’ s
head and everyone ’ s life
changes. Yours, mine, his, the MC goes down, and then his family … Ella … the baby …”
    “ Oh,
shit, ” Gaige said. He took
a few steps. ” You can ’ t do that to yourself. ”
    Miller stood up. “ He ’ s
fucking hookers, Gaige. He doesn ’ t
touch her. She has nothing and me walking away was supposed to give her
everything. ”
    “ You ’ re talking like a weak man,
Miller, ” Gaige said. “ You better sack up, brother. ”
    Gaige stood at his seat. Miller
stared at the VP. One bullet could change everything. Fuck, one bullet could
take Miller out and then Gaige would be wearing the President ’ s patch.
    “ Sack
up, ” Miller said. “ You ’ re right, Gaige. I ’ m
going to cross the line. Say fuck you to everything I know. ”
    Miller moved and Gaige put a hand
to his chest. Miller grabbed Gaige ’ s
hand and twisted it. He spun and put Gaige against the wall.
    “ What
the fuck are you doing, Miller? ” Gaige asked.
    “ Just
checking up on her. That ’ s
all. ”
    “ Let
me come with you. You shouldn ’ t
be riding alone, brother. None of us should. ”
    “ No, ” Miller said. “ Jerry doesn ’ t have the balls to take me out.
Or try to again. ”
    “ You ’ re really going to cross the
line. ”
    Miller nodded. “ I ’ m
just going to check on her. That ’ s
all. ”
    Words that seemed so innocent and
were so far from it. Words that didn ’ t
ignite the war but poured more gasoline on the fire. Words that Miller knew were
bullshit. He wasn ’ t just
going to check on her. He was going to get her back. The way it should have
always been.

    Beck cut a new tooth and was
enjoying a good night ’ s
sleep. More than once Ella told herself to just take a nap, too. To sleep a
little. Rest her body. Let her mind relax. But she couldn't do that. Not with
the papers on the counter downstairs. She knew the second Jerry saw them, he ’ d flip his lid. She thought
about leaving but knew that would make it worse. He ’ d put an APB on her. Christ. The entire town of Frelen would be looking for her, for Beck.
    Then Ella wondered if Jerry could
use some favors to make it seem like she kidnapped their child. That ’ s all Ella needed right now. To
end up in jail and to have Beck in the care of Jerry.
    Biting her nails, Ella rushed down
the stairs and to the kitchen. She grabbed the envelope and took it upstairs.
She had the chance of having everything served to Jerry directly. But she didn ’ t want to embarrass him. In her
mind she had a speech that Jerry needed to hear. Then she ’ d leave. He ’ d be devastated but it was all
for the better. Kind of like one of those moments on a talk show when someone
gets to speak their mind and they feel stronger after doing so.
    That ’ s
what Ella would do.
    She lifted the cushion on
