Chapter Two

Papers littered the tiny desk. Indiana tapped the keyboard and stared at the flat screen monitor. Indelible Ink—the tattoo parlor she ran with Marty—was at least making enough to pay them and keep the keep the shop open.

The lines on the spreadsheet blurred, and she closed her tired eyes to rub them. Another month’s worth of bills paid. Personally, she would have to do a little creative juggling now that she had another lawyer to pay off. It took all of her savings to cover his retainer. Between the criminal attorney and the family law attorney, she was in serious debt.

Kevin even contacted her from the county jail, looking for her to bail him out again. Yeah, like that was going to happen.

Indiana snorted; at least, the cop was fair and arrested her brother, too. Calista and Caivin were staying with her at the moment, but that could change if she was found guilty of the assault charges. The only family the children knew beside their parents was her, and the last place she wanted to see them was in a flawed foster system. And that was a serious possibility, because she hadn’t seen Marva since the altercation.

Living with their mother was only marginally better, but she didn’t believe that Marva would hurt them. She had back-to-back court dates. The judge might throw out the case, based on the circumstances, or she might get a few hundred hours or so community service. Worst case scenario; she would do jail time, and that would really screw her up in family court.

She opened her eyes and glanced at the calendar nailed to the wall. Who was she kidding? Her life was based on bad shit happening, so her best bet was to plan for the worst and hope for the best. She needed to come up with contingency plans B, C, and D. Indiana skimmed her palm along her braids and patted the spot that was itching.

Marty filled the doorway, bracing his arms against the jamb. He raised a brow in her direction.

“What do you want now?” She looked him up and down. He was a good-looking man, tatted and bald and when he wasn’t in the shop, he was at the gym. She often wondered what kind of lover he would make and chuckled at her train of thought. Marty wouldn’t be interested in her. He was in a committed relationship with a male bodybuilder that could break her in two.

“Your two o’clock is here. Want to let me in on the joke?” Marty waggled his brows.

“Not really. Brice might hurt me.” She leaned forward and braced her chin in her hand.

“Uh-uh, he loves you. I think he might even switch sides for you. By the way, I asked him to pick up the kids from school and daycare. I have a two-thirty I couldn’t reschedule.”

“Thanks for that. I appreciate you two helping me out with Calista and Caivin.” She rose. “I’m still keeping my thoughts to myself. Bills are paid, so all that’s left is to collect our salary.
