Chapter 19

Kat

Cole’s face is tight, lips pressed together, eyes narrowed as we pull up to the house. The black sedan pulls to the side of the road and parks right outside our gate. Cole is not happy about the FBI staking us out. Even though the majority of our business is legit there is the parts that aren’t. The FBI snooping around will not be good for business. I’m thankful that Justin did the gun shipment last month and there are no current ones planned.

“Seth, run on inside and get your bath and change before dinner.” The little boy scrambles out of the SUV behind me. I watch as he runs off to the house.

“What the hell do they want?” I ask, peering back down the driveway trying to see the men.

“I’m not sure but I’m not talking to them.” Cole says absently.

“Can I go talk to them? I ask. I’m a woman it's natural to be nosey, I think.

“Are you kidding me?” he asks me with a look of disgust.

“What? I just want to see if I can get any info off them. I didn’t say I would tell them anything.”

“No Kat!” Cole tells me sternly.

Cole’s mood is dark and I don’t want to fight with him so I wisely stay where I am . I watch his retreating form as he walks into the house. Rocco and I stand there together.

“He’s not happy.” Rocco states

“No shit. Can’t say I blame him. He’s under so much stress.” I grab my bag out of the back of the SUV “He needs a vacation.”

“Don’t we all.”

“Rocco do you need some time off? I’m sure I can get it arranged.”

He chuckles, “Stress is high these days. Constantly on alert for trouble.”

“Makes sense!” Men typically respond differently to these types of situations. Julie is content to let the men in the family handle things. Whereas I want to go in guns blazing. Julie is content to sit at Duchess and play dress up with people. We have all sheltered her over the years and after all she has been through she’s too fragile to be an active participant.

I head upstairs immediately upon entering the house. Cole is pacing the length of our sitting room as I enter.

“Trying to wear a hole in the carpet?”

“No, I’m just trying to figure out how to get rid of the FBI.” He continues to pace. I plop down on the couch and pull my laptop and other stuff out of my bag. I set everything up on the coffee table as I fire up my computer.

“Have you thought about talking to Luke?” After all he’s employed as legal counsel for a reason. He’s not here to just look pretty. Although he is kind of pretty.

“I plan to talk to him tonight at dinner.” Cole states. I shake my head as he continues pacing. I pull up my wedding files and search for the engagement party stuff that Marla sent me today. She has the guest list and seating chart ready for my approval.
