West

Dr. Gresham stepped into the room. I was curled up on the sofa, reading a book, but I looked up at him. I had recently gained back my ability to read, and speaking was choppy. Writing was getting better, but it was still pretty shaky and mostly unintelligible.

“I have some bad news for you,” Dr. Gresham began. I frowned as he took a seat in front of me. His face was solemn, and fear settled in my gut. I swallowed nervously, nodding my head for him to continue. “There was an incident at the garage.” I sucked in a sharp breath of air, my heart knocking hard against my chest, fear for my men crawling through my veins. “Lincoln was arrested.”

“What?” I choked out. Lincoln—arrested? I reached up to rub my chest. I drew in a shaky breath, but I was already beginning to panic. Tears slid down my cheeks.

“Take deep breaths, West,” Dr. Gresham urged. “Breathe. Focus on breathing.”

I squeezed my eyes shut, trying to calm my racing heart. I sobbed. “Julian is here to see you. He knows more about what happened than I do,” he told me.

I instantly stood up from the couch I’d been on, needing to see Julian, for him to tell me what the fuck was going on. Dr. Gresham stood up as well and gripped the door handle. When he opened it, Julian stepped into the room with Meghan at his side. “What happened?” I managed to bite out, forcing my voice to work and my lips to move properly, which was a task and a half given the situation.

“Here, sit down,” Meghan urged as she gently forced me to sit back down on the couch. She took a seat beside me and grabbed my hand in hers. Julian took Dr. Gresham’s seat and leaned forward, resting his elbows on his knees and linking his fingers together in front of him.

“I went to go meet Jessie and Lincoln, to try to talk to them about moving out where we live,” Julian began. “A cop had just left before I pulled up to the garage. I didn’t think much of it—figured they were there just because of how much everyone in that town seems to hate you.”

I frowned. I hated that Jessie and Lincoln were being singled out just because of their affiliation with me. It wasn’t right. They were good, decent, hard-working men. They didn’t deserve to be mistreated.

Hell, they were the best men I’d ever known.

“Four officers showed back up while I was there. Lucky, I’m guessing his name is, tried arresting Jessie, claiming that he had threatened him.” My frown deepened. That wasn’t like Jessie. “Jessie has security footage, so they couldn’t follow through on it.”

“L—L—” I huffed, getting frustrated when I couldn’t get his name out on the first try. “Lincoln?” I finally managed to get out.

Meghan smiled at me in encouragement. “Lucky said some shit about you to them. I’m guessing Lincoln is normally pretty calm because he was trying to keep Jessie’s temper down, but Lincoln lost his shit, and he punched Lucky in the face.
