“Level with me, man. How bad off are you?”

“Halfway to dead, but hellbent on making these bastards pay. They’re not going to get away with what they’ve done to me or tried to do to Vita. Payback has been a long time coming. I’m the repo man, ready to collect with interest.”

The dead calm in his voice sends chills up my spine. Houdini is scary like that. Given what I know about him now, I understand why. “You talk to Dallas?”

“He’s backing my play. He wants me to handle this my way. The club keeps their hands clean and I make sure there’s nothing left to haunt me.” He sounds weak, but determined. “You take care of my sister for me.”

“Of course, man.”

“I mean even if I don’t come back. Will you,” his voice cracks, “make sure she’s okay?”

I freeze. “Look, I don’t know if she’d appreciate this conversation right now.”

“I don’t give a shit what she wants. I know what she needs. She can’t be out there on her own. I sheltered her too much. It’d be setting her up for failure. You’ve proven you can take care of her in the direst of situations. It has to be you. I’m asking you as your brother. Will you do this for me?”

I glance up at the rafters, curse my luck, and say the only thing I can, “Yeah, man, you know I will.”

“Thank you. Can do what I need to now.”

“You sound like you don’t plan on coming back.”

“We both know there are causalities in a war. I need to be prepared for every possible outcome.”

“That means leaving your sister in the hands of a man you hardly know.”

“I know enough. You’re good people. Strong, smart, on the silent side, but capable of doing whatever needs to be done. I’ve watched you, all of you. I know the measure of each man in Wesson. You’re the one I’m choosing to trust my sister with.” Coughs crackle over the line.

My chest aches in sympathy. The man isn’t well. “Don’t worry about it, Houdini. I got her covered.”

“All right, man, I’ll be in touch,” he replies hoarsely.

We hang up and I swear… I’ve gone and done it. Now I’m linked to her until I pass the torch back to her brother.

Like I would’ve trusted her safety to anyone else.

Somewhere between the car crash and the concussion, I’d accepted her as my responsibility. Seeing her like this— open and vulnerable— made it impossible to compare her to Jewel. She was little more than a kid trying to find her way through a storm.

I place my phone in my pocket and walk outside.

The expression on her face can only be described as dreamy. The sun caresses her chocolate brown hair. Her freckles stand out on the bridge of her nose.

“You doing okay?” I ask.

She turns to me and shrugs.

“It’s a lot to take in, huh?”

She sighs and signs, “I’m not sure how I feel about everything. I know Ira is alive, but for
