Chapter Seventeen

Everyone got up and started checking their weapons. Derek walked Tanda back to their room and came back out with her on one side and something small wrapped up in his other hand. He walked up to me with Tanda smiling and gripping him by the elbow tight. “Brandon would have wanted you to have it,” he said, then handed me the wrapped object. I looked down as tears built in my eyes, because I could feel the handle of his blade in my hand. I slowly removed the cloth as sound spilled from my lips. I held back the whimpering the best I could, making myself sound even worse, and tied it around my waist. Derek got down on one knee and tied the string hanging from the tip of the sheath around my leg, then stood back up as I pulled the two foot long blade free. I sniffled and tried to find the words, but nothing came that more tears wouldn’t follow.

“You have two bullets left and one blade. I know he would be honored to have you use it in his name,” Derek said, pulling me into a hug.

“Well, damn it, now ya gone and made me start crying all over again,” I laughed with my sobs and hugged him back. “Thank you. I just don’t know what else to say.”

“Say, let’s go kick some ass and get your man back,” he leaned back, gave me a wink, then took me by the arm and we joined the others waiting on the porch.

Garvin held Tanda the longest, telling her to hide as she did when they hid from Enrique not explaining the meaning to the rest of us. She nodded, telling him to return safe and that she loved him. He jumped off the porch to join the rest of us who were heading to the back gate, and she called out. “Watch over one another and come back soon!” We all waved as we reached the side of the house. Derek walked backwards, looking at her and Sydney standing in the light of the open front door. Tanda jumped off the porch and took off running, then dove into his arms.

“I beg you to return to me,” she said, pressing her mouth next to his ear as they held each other. “I love you, Derek. I have from the first moment I laid eyes on you.” Then she kissed him lightly on the lips and ran back to the house, disappearing inside.

Derek caught up with us with an extra skip in his step. “We’re going to go get Martin and get back home.” He sounded so sure of himself that I believed every word said, and knowing what made him have that extra few inches in his spine made me want to have a great deal of it myself. Tanda had made no move to hide her words in a whisper.

The side area of the house that should have been called a small castle
