"Fuck, this is going to take forever." I got out of the truck and stretched as we stopped to take a leak around eleven that night.

"Yep, but it will be worth it." Cole moved around the truck and started to work on getting the gas nozzle in place. "Your woman isn't safe. That creep is lurking all around her."

"My woman?" I huffed. "I wish. She treated me just like Amanda used to, like a cock to ride for a night." I rolled my shoulders. "I'm probably wasting my time doing this, but it's whatever. You're right. I can't not make sure she's okay."

"She has feelings for you Ian. It's a sticky situation."

"Maybe, but I'm not so sure I'm worthy of those feelings, whatever they might be."

"Of course you are. You're a good guy. That shit with Amanda wasn't your fault. She made her own decisions."

"Did she?" I ran my hand through my hair, wishing like hell that we would have started down a different conversational path. Talking about her always promised me a handful of nasty nightmares. It was inevitable.

"Yes, and you know it." He reached out and squeezed my shoulder. "You can't force someone to be a saint or a sinner. Only they can make that choice themselves. I know you're pretty powerful, but you're not all that, brother."

I chuckled. "I'm going to grab a soda and some chips. You want something?"

"Yeah. Peanuts and a bottle of Coke if they have it."

"Nasty," I mumbled and walked toward the store as a trashy looking woman walked out, stumbling and reaching for me. "Whoa. You okay?"

"Yeah, baby. Just had a few too many beers tonight." She hiccupped and smiled up at me, missing a few of her teeth. I worked hard not to grimace. Life was hard on people. I didn't need to remind her that everyone around her could see the hell she'd been through, nor would I shun her for it.

"Well, take care of yourself." I released her and walked into the gas station, making my way to the back to get a Coke.

The jingle of the door didn't catch my attention, but the booming male voice did.

"Get your hands up! You in the back by the drinks, getcha ass up here, big man. On the ground. Now!" Two lanky guys in masks stood by the register, one holding a shot gun and the other a pistol. The one talking pointed his shotgun at me and motioned for the ground.

"No playing hero, motherfucker. Just get down." He waved the gun, motioning me toward the floor.

I glanced to my right to see my brother still pumping gas, but lifting to his toes and peering toward the store. He knew something was up. There was no way in hell I was letting something happen to him. Where he was more than capable of taking out a threat, he could be caught off guard as well as any of us.

"I said get down." He pushed me in the chest with the barrel of the gun, and I took my chance, reaching up and grabbing it to pull hard.
