Chapter Ten

A few hours later he stood outside the locker room, waiting for that moment when she would walk out and he would get a glimpse of her.

Alfi, the fucker, had at least one brilliant idea.

“Nice tux.” Big Tag strode out wearing a long blond wig, red bandana, and leather pants. “You a maître d?”

“You a heroin addict?” He could give as well as he got.

“Definitely at some point.” And Big Tag could take what he shoveled out. “Dude, I’m Axl Rose. Do you know who that is? Do they have music in Australia? I know they have that diggery doo thing, but I’m talking about rock ’n’ roll.”

“It’s a didgeridoo and I might have heard of Guns N’ Roses somewhere.” He wasn’t giving Tag anything. He was too happy tonight. Steph was here and he got to play with her all night long. Or at least until the party was over and they had to pick up their kiddo and head home.

Yeah, he liked that thought, too.

“Got to love a costume party.” Tag patted him on the shoulder. “You sure about that other guy?”

There was only one person he could be talking about. Alfi. Well, he might be talking about Tucker, but Brody doubted it. “Am I sure about him? I’m sure he’s an arsehole. Do I think he’ll hurt someone? No. I’ve known Alfi all my life. He’ll do a lot of stupid things but he’s never cruel. He can be mercenary, but if he truly understands how he’s hurting someone, he’ll stop. He’s angry with me.”

“Because you walked away after your brother died?”

Naturally Tag knew about that, but then he would have done a thorough investigation before he brought Brody on the team. “Alfi thinks I abandoned him. I had a shot at getting out of the Army. He reupped because he thought I would. Spent another year in while I kind of roamed the world until I met Walt.”

And Walt had led him to a ship called the Royale and the Taggarts. And they had led him to his home in London and the job that brought him to Steph.

“Any reason you didn’t tell him?” Taggart asked.

He sighed because he was done lying to himself. “Yeah, chaos follows Alfi and I needed a couple of months of peace. I had to figure a few things out. I grew up with that man, but sometimes it’s hard to be his friend. He can be very self-centered, and he doesn’t always see it. I’m not saying he’s a bad guy. But he’s difficult. We weren’t on the same team. Even when we were in the Army we wouldn’t see each other except when we were on leave or happened to find ourselves on the same base.”

“Was the Army good for him?”

“Kept him out of trouble for the most part,” Brody admitted. “But I don’t know how to deal with the fact that he didn’t tell me about Nate.”

“You know what would make you feel better?”

Brody could think of a few things.
