Cillian lay on the floor with his legs straight up against the wall in his dressing room at the Armory the next morning. It was his favorite way to stretch, to relax, to focus on what was coming. It helped him calm his thoughts and get into the mindset he needed to be in to be successful.

Problem is, none of that is happening. There is no peace.

Sammi's departure and now her silence fucked him up, and had it not been for his family and Matthews, he would have thrown in the towel and gone home. Much like he'd told Carl, Cillian had one job, and that was to make sure Sammi was taken care of. He'd failed. Regardless of how it had happened...he'd failed.

Carl...

Molten anger roiled his blood, making it rush loudly in his ears as he thought of the man. He'd been so focused on Sammi that he'd pushed aside his unpleasant chat with Carl on the phone. And hearing that piece of shit had actually gone after her, and that she'd used him to send her message...

You better pull your head outta your ass and do what you need to do out there today. Because you no longer have a job to go home to...or your girl.

No job to go home to, no family business to go home to. That hurt him to the marrow—that a business his father had built with his own two hands was going to be destroyed, because Cillian had failed.

Murphy had said nothing about the loss of his gym in favor of a nightclub. But because of the way Cillian was feeling, his father had to be sick at the thought of it, too.

There was a knock on the door. With a sigh, he rolled to his feet and opened the door. Murphy stood before him, and behind him was Ryan Callahan and John Shiloh, the ESPN commentators who had outed Sammi.

More molten-lava anger boiled his blood as he glared at them.

John spoke first. “We're here to apologize. I just wanted to let you know that I was given that information about your girlfriend. We meant no harm.”

“That's fuckin' hilarious,” Cillian said icily.

“Honestly,” Ryan chimed in. “Marty Brown was supposed to give us the scoop on your story from Afghanistan—he was prepaid by the network for that interview. When he didn't get that, he got something else.”

Cillian stared at him levelly. “And fuck whoever he hurt in the process, right?”

Ryan sighed and shook his head. “No, of course not. Look, is she around? We'll make an apology to her.”

“She's gone now.” Cillian realized he was practically snarling. “So save your bullshit.”

“Listen, we were just passing on the information,” John said in a way that made Cillian want to break his neck. “People saw you two together, people saw you come get her from the crowd outside, people are curious. And everyone knows about the Roger Eich case. No one knew she was one of his victims, though.”

“Yeah. This little thing called protecting a victim's identity.
