CHAPTER 12

Goest and Fucketh Thyself.

-Coffee Cup

MALACHI

Gabriel,

Today I learned—or tried to learn—how to drive my dad’s five-speed truck.

We get to the parking lot where he’s going to teach me, and get started.

It lasts for all of fifteen minutes, then my dad can’t take the grinding of gears anymore and declares me a ‘lost cause’ and takes over. So my brother, thinking that he would help me out, goes out and does the same later that afternoon.

Only, he calls me a complete dumbass because I can’t ‘fucking listen to anything he fucking says’ and drives home in much the same way that my dad did.

He then proceeds to tell my father that I was inept, would never get it, and to buy me an automatic because it would be for the best.

And then they both laugh.

They laughed.

I’ve never felt like more of a failure than I did in that minute. But I tell you what. I’m now more determined than ever to learn.

Even if I have to beg some random man in town to teach me.

Sierra

P.S. I swear that my brother and dad are really great. I only tell you the bad things, though, because they piss me off.

“Um, Malachi?” I heard someone call my name.

I looked up to find the chief himself standing in the SWAT team’s private locker room.

“Yes, sir?” I asked, pulling my Kevlar into place and strapping the Velcro down.

“You have an older man here looking for you. He said he’s your father?” He crossed his arms over his chest and looked at me carefully.

I groaned and pulled my shirt from the hanger and shrugged that on, too.

“Great,” I grumbled under my breath. “Tell him I’ll be right there.”

“So you and Sierra?” I heard him ask.

A single brow rose at him in reaction.

I didn’t bother to say a word, just stared at him.

He sighed. “I hope you know what you’re doing. And I hope you treat her well.”

I scowled hard at him. “I never said I wouldn’t.”

“No,” he said. “But you’re a fucking powder keg waiting to go off. I just hope that the girl I watched grow up isn’t going to be around when you do.”

This time I squared my shoulders to look at him.

“I’m sorry, but it wasn’t me that treated her like shit lately, was it?” I turned to look at Sammy who hadn’t said a word to me since I walked in. “Did you know that she texted me crying the day that she tried to tell those assholes that she’s pregnant?”

I pointed my finger at one of said assholes.

Luke’s lip twitched at that news, as if he was amused with me calling one of my teammates an asshole.

But it wasn’t just Sammy that I was calling an asshole. I was calling her dad, her sister, and her mother an asshole, too.

They were good people.

I knew they were.

But their reactions when it came to their ‘wild child’ daughter weren’t something that I could stand.

Maybe it was the deep disapproval that I’d always gotten from my own parents that made me dislike parents in general.
