CHAPTER TWELVE

Bren had cried for what seemed like forever. Rylee and Jude didn't try and stop him, they just sat him on the couch and held him. Bren laid with his head on Rylee's lap and his feet on Jude's legs. Rylee was running his hand gently through Bren's hair, "What happened, Bren? If you love Rene like you say you do, what is the problem?"

Bren whispered, "I want to talk to you guys. Hell, I need to, but I promised Rene I would keep his secret."

"What could be so horrible that you can't tell your best friends?" Jude asked.

"Jude, please just drop it." Bren insisted as he sat up.

Jude looked at Bren with his brows drawn together in anger, "I'm serious, Bren. What the hell could be so bad that you would break it off with a guy you clearly care for and love?"

Abruptly Bren stood up, "I told you, Jude, I promised not to say anything."

"Is he an outlaw? I know he's with that biker gang we see, but I figured with him being a special investigator and all, that he was at least legal. Oh, my God, is he on the take?" Jude asked in awe.

Shaking his head, Bren gave a short laugh, "If only it was that easy, Jude. No, he isn't doing anything illegal. It's just that he and his group are not──"

The phone rang, stopping Bren from saying what he was about to say. If he had said Rene and his friend were not what they seemed to be, Jude would have really drilled him for information. Doing his best to get away from the inquisition, Bren walked outside, looking up at the stars.

On the second ring, Rylee answered, "Hello. Hey mom──I don't know, I think so, let me ask." Rylee walked outside asking, "Mom wants to know what time we land on Saturday."

Bren gasped, "Shit! I completely forgot we were going. I don't know if──"

Jude hissed low, "You are not cancelling. This trip was your idea, Bren. We decided on this weekend because it's mom's birthday. You can't bail on her or us for that matter. Do you have a fucking clue how hard it is for me to get off rotation? Besides, we all know how bad Steph needs to get away from here right now."

"But mom will know right away something is wrong with me." Bren whispered in agitation.

Snorting, Jude said, "Most likely mom already knows. She was always scary as shit with that mother's intuition thing. Hell, she knew you needed help before you even knocked on the door when your parents kicked you out."

Bren knew Jude was right, but the thought of being so far from Rene for even a few days had his stomach in knots. However, Steph really did need to get out of here. She didn't take Falon's death well, at all. It had made the loss of Aaron even more difficult for her to process. Besides, Jude was right, he needed this trip, "You're right. What time is our flight?"

"Our flight leaves at ten in the morning.
