Riggs

Riggs paced the floor of the barn after dinner.

He could feel Drago and Burton’s eyes on him, their concern palpable.

He wanted to obey Sage’s wishes and handle things in the way she thought was right.

But he knew what had to be done.

“That’s it,” he said, stopping suddenly. “I’m going.”

“Where?” Drago asked.

“I saw a sign for the town karate studio when I was in the village today,” Riggs said. “There’s a class going on right now at the community center. I’m going to find the person who did this. And I’m going to challenge him.”

“This is what I hoped you would say,” Drago exclaimed, clapping him on the back. “I will join you, brother.”

“So will I,” Burton added.

Riggs was relieved at the thought of having his brothers along, but didn’t want to get them in hot water with their mates.

“The women will not be pleased,” Riggs warned. “Maybe it’s best if I go alone.”

“No,” Drago said, his blue eyes flashing.

“And miss the ninjas?” Burton asked. “No way. We’re coming too.”

“Let’s leave a note for them,” Riggs suggested. “We won’t be back to make s’mores tonight. And we don’t want them to worry.”

Drago nodded and sat at the makeshift desk in the corner. He grabbed paper and pen and began to laboriously write a note.

“Do we need weapons, brother?” Burton asked. His dark eyes were so solemn.

“I do not think so,” Riggs said. “Karate is a sport of honor. I will fight bare-handed.”

“We will stand beside you, brother,” Burton said worriedly.

“Okay,” Drago announced, folding the paper and placing it in his pocket. “I’ll slip this under the door on our way out.”

“How will we get there?” Burton asked. “There are only two horses.”

“We’ll take the truck,” Riggs laughed.

“You can drive it?” Burton sounded amazed.

“I flew our spacecraft, Burton, and I rode around in the car with Sage all day today,” Riggs reminded him patiently. “It’s a fairly simple contraption. The combustion engine is woefully inefficient and terribly noisy, but relatively safe.”

“What about the keys?” Drago asked.

“The keys are under the floor mat,” Riggs said.

“These women are too trusting,” Drago muttered.

“They have us now, they don’t have to worry about protecting themselves,” Burton said proudly.

“Still, they should secure their vehicle,” Drago said. “Especially with ninjas afoot.”

He snuck off to the front porch and slipped his note in the door slot, then jogged to meet them by the truck.

The three of them barely fit on the bench seat.

Riggs started up the truck and they headed down the gravel driveway, the machine proving as easy to operate as he had hoped.

“Where is the community center?” Burton asked.

“It’s in town, just a few minutes away,” Riggs replied.

He knew why Burton was asking. His own bond to Sage was not yet secured and yet he felt the growing physical distance between them stretching him tight already. He could only imagine how his brothers must feel, leaving their bonded mates behind.

The road curved past trees and homes and eventually carried them into town. Riggs found the community center and parked outside.
