CHAPTER SEVEN

~Heath~

What in the hell have I gotten myself into now? Not only do I have some strange chick on my doorstep, but when I call Wendol to give him an update, this same chick tries to chop her hand off. Professor owes me a fuck of a lot more than money now.

Maverick ‘Tapper’ Collins and his wife Kenzy arrive before Wendol. Kenzy is an ICU nurse, and Tapper works with me on the rig.

Kenzy doesn’t say a word when she sees me holding Annie’s arm in a bloody towel. She steps in and takes over.

Annie, yeah right. There was a twitch to her eye when she said her name. No way she is telling the truth. What the hell is really going on here?

I go into my bathroom and wash her blood off before I meet Tapper in the living room.

“Who the hell is that?” he questions, knowing I just pulled him and his wife into some serious shit.

“Fuck if I know, man.”

Wendol doesn’t bother knocking and walks right in as I am getting ready to get Tapper up to speed. He takes a quick look in the kitchen before shaking his head and coming over to us.

“Legit, she’s your payment,” Wendol states like we inherited some estate from a dearly departed aunt.

“Fuck that, I want cash. The fight was for cash. The center needs the cash.”

Wendol looks over his shoulder at Annie. “Maybe she needs the center.”

“So take her there. I want no part of this, man,” I reply as my temper builds.

“Can’t,” he comes back calmly.

“What the fuck do you mean, can’t?”

“Come on, Heath. We don’t know what she knows. We can’t risk exposure,” Wendol informs me.

Tapper used to fight. After one too many concussions, he stopped, but he knows what I do and why I do it.

“Why not do for her what the center would?” Tapper chimes in.

“Have you lost your fuckin’ mind? I’m not equipped to handle a woman who has been through God knows what at the hands of the criminals that bet against us and fight alongside us.”

“Keep her here for now. Let’s see what she knows. If she doesn’t know much, we take her to the center. Otherwise, we rebuild her life for her.”

“Of course you would say that. You wanna save everyone. What if we can’t save that one?” I question as panic sets in.

“Fuck you, Heath. You haven’t even had time to find out anything about her. We learn more and determine if we can help her.”

“Take her home with you, then.”

“If it was Shayla…” He glares at me. “All she needed was for one person to show her the way out. I didn’t do that for my sister. If you want to scare her more by shoving her off yet again, fine, I’ll take her.”

“Fuck!” I roar as the failure of losing Shayla washes over me once again. Every single one of these women remind me how Wendol and I both missed multiple opportunities to save his sister—our sister. His family is my family, too.
