“Go over it again,” Nick demanded as he tended to the damn dog.

I stared at its shaved body and its sad eyes as it sat on Nick’s lap, looking at him lovingly.

“We went over this already,” I protested. “I think I’m good.”

“Then we go over it again.” Tobias strode from the kitchen carrying two bottles of electrolytes. I lifted my hand, reaching for mine…but it never came. There was just a savage stare from my youngest brother as he handed Nick one bottle, then cracked the top open on his own.

The tension between us was brutal. After last night, it was going to take a miracle for them to trust me again—if ever. I lowered my hand and started talking, replaying the same details over again. It was the fifth time we’d gone over it. Once last night, twice more this morning while we waited at the vet’s office, and once again when we came back home.

It didn’t matter how many times I went over it. There was still that element of doubt…because anything and everything could go wrong. “I call Killion. Tell him I want to go back in.”

“Demand,” Tobias snarled. “You demand to go back in. That sick fuck owes you. So you make him pay, anyway you damn well have to.”

I swallowed the bitter tang of anger and held Tobias’ stare. “I demand.”

He gave a slow nod, then turned away. Something had broken in my brother. Some innate part that made him the kid I knew. Maybe it’d been worn away for a long time…and maybe it’d never been there all along.

“I demand to go back in there.”

“He won’t let you drive in,” Nick said as he petted the mutt. “That place isn’t open to just any visitors. He’ll want his driver to take you.”

“And if Killion decides to come with you?” Tobias watched me.

He didn’t think I had the balls to carry through with this, didn’t think I had the stomach to do what needed to be done. Only he didn’t know about the things Killion had done to our sister, or the depraved depths I'd sunk to, to stop him going any further. I glanced at Nick, then back. “I’ll kill him, along with the driver.”

“Good.” Tobias gripped the gun he’d had since last night. A gun I hadn’t seen before. He stepped forward, handing it over. “Take out as many of those fuckers as you can.”

I took the weapon and reached around, tucking it inside the waistband of my jeans.

Nick rose and eased the wounded puppy down on a pile of blankets he'd dragged from the closet upstairs. He winced when he straightened, his hand pressing against his own wound. “We’ll be waiting at the fence. All you have to do is get her there…and we’ll take care of the rest.”

“Make the call,” Tobias growled. “I want this night over and our sister back.”

I gave a nod. “As do I.”

I grabbed my phone, scrolled through my contacts, and pressed Killion’s number.

He answered on the third ring.
