Chapter Five

I tried not to snicker at the truly disdainful way Warren looked at the name flashing on the screen of his brother's phone, before tossing the thing to Kendrick and plopping down on the couch, crossing his arms over his chest and glaring at his brother.

Kendrick frowned slightly, but answered the phone, watching his brother and looking confused. "Hello?"

"Hey, man." I heard the perky, friendly voice say on the other end. "I heard you found him."

"Yeah," Kendrick said, smiling while Warren just seemed to get even angrier, sliding further down into the cushions of the couch. "He's just not really ready to come home, yet."

"Is he okay?" Asher asked on the other end, sounding worried and I wondered at the differing opinions the two seemed to have for each other.

"He's doing okay," Kendrick said, cringing slightly when Warren shook his head, pointing at the phone and the mouthing do not talk about me to him.

There was a bit of a pause. Almost awkward.

Finally, Asher must have gotten the hint, because he cleared his throat. "Hey, I was actually calling to tell you I'm headed your way."

"Really?" Kendrick asked, sounding happy. "Why?"

I frowned slightly, not sure I liked the way Kendrick's face lit up while he was talking to Asher. I knew the man was his best friend and partner, but he was also part of the reason Kendrick wasn't ready to commit to a life here in Crossville.

Was that it? Was Asher the real reason Kendrick wasn't ready?

"I have a case there. A twenty-two-year-old girl disappeared around the same time War did." There was a bit of a pause, and then the guy took a deep breath, letting it out on a groan. "I might need to talk to him and find out if there were more people with him." Kendrick cringed and Warren's eyes narrowed on him, probably sensing it was something he didn't want to hear. "The FBI won't talk to me, but her family didn't even get to talk to her. They just got a call from the feds saying she was safe, and then nothing after that."

"You're going to talk to Warren?" Kendrick squeaked, eyes going wide.

"He still hates me, huh?"

Kendrick looked over at Warren and my eyes followed, taking in the mutinous gaze he had aimed at his brother.

"Uh," Kendrick said, shrugging, even though Asher couldn't see it from there. "Turner and I will be there as bodyguards."

"I'm not meeting him," Warren growled, shaking his head as I heard Asher sigh and mumble perkily, "It will finally give me a chance to apologize in person."

"Apologize for what?" I asked quietly, looking at Warren who didn't even bother to acknowledge me while he continued to glare at the phone in his brother's hand.

"Who's that?" Asher asked, making me tilt my head and frown while Kendrick blinked in confusion.

"Who?" he asked, finally, drawing the word out.

"The guy who just said apologize for what?"

Kendrick's head snapped around, so he could look at me, surprised and confused. "You
