Chapter Fifteen

Jensen

It hadn’t taken me and the guys long to get the answers I was looking for the night before, and by the time I pulled up in front of the sprawling mansion with its perfectly manicured lawn, lush flowerbeds, and artfully designed topiaries, I was seconds away from losing my shit.

I beat on the front door with the side of my fist, not giving the first fuck if it was considered rude. The door opened seconds later and the woman who’d birthed me but had never been a mother stared up at me in shock. It looked like she’s aged a decade and a half in the years I’d been gone, and I didn’t feel the slightest bit bad for finding humor in that. Guess all the pills and wine had finally beaten out anything plastic surgery could do.

“Jensen,” she breathed, her eyes wide. “What are you—how did you—I mean, it’s good to see you.”

The feeling definitely wasn’t mutual. “Where is he?” I growled, making her jerk back in fright.

“Wh-who?”

“Don’t play that bullshit game. You know who I’m talking about. Now where the fuck is he?”

I didn’t give her a chance to reply before barreling past her, giving her no choice but to skitter out of my way to keep from being mowed down. She called after me as I took the stairs two at a time, but I didn’t bother turning around.

I made it to the office and lifted my booted foot, kicking the door open with a crash.

My father shot up from his desk. “What in the world? Jensen? What the hell are you doing? A simple knock would have sufficed. There was no need to storm in here and make a scene.”

“Where the fuck is it?”

“Watch the way you speak to me in my own house, boy.” He still had the same bluster, the same condescending attitude, the same air of superiority he had all those years ago. None of that had changed. In fact, the only difference in him that I noticed was that he looked harder than he had before. The grooves at the corner of his eyes and mouth from his perpetual scowl were deeper than they used to be. The effects of the life he was living were written all over his face.

The games time played on a person’s memories were sometimes astounding. I remembered him being so much bigger. In my mind he seemed larger than life. But looking at him now, he was just a man. We were no longer equal in size, my time in the Army had made damn sure of that. But that wasn’t the only thing that had changed. He didn’t know it, but he was about to learn that the power had shifted in a big fucking way.

“I don’t have any clue what you’re talking about.”

“I think you do,” I said in a low, menacing voice. “I think you know exactly what I’m talking about.”

“Well, not that it’s much of a surprise, but you’d be wrong.
