Parris

I left my heart in that little apartment over the hardware store and headed toward the county line, needing to pick up Deacon before we could enact part one of my withdrawal from the life I’d been living. Before I could kick off the plan I’d been working on all night as my beauty had slept. I was ready, I had a solid strategy, and I was willing to do just about anything to escape my past and head for a future in Justice. It was just going to take a murder or two.

Deacon was standing outside when I got to his place, ready for me. But looking rough.

“You look like shit,” I said as soon as I turned off the engine on my bike.

Deacon could only shrug a single shoulder. “I haven’t been sleeping much. Everything good? I’m not used to my team being late.”

That was a dig, but one I deserved. I was late. Just a few minutes, but he was telling the truth—most military men weren’t late. My only excuse was a little boy with a big heart and eyes that could see straight down to my soul. “I had to make sure my birthday present to Beckett would make it.”

“What did you get him?”

“A new bike.”

Deacon’s lips kicked up in a sort of half smile. “The biker bought the kid a bike. Fitting.”

“Yeah, but I was supposed to take him to the store to pick it out. This mission threw that option out the window, so I had to make arrangements.”

“Mercy taking him instead?”

Mercy. My girl. The woman who might never forgive me for walking away, even though I was doing it for all the right reasons. The one who had looked at me with so much relief when I’d walked back into that apartment. Relief that had quickly turned to disappointment. Hopefully, she’d realize soon enough that everything was for her. Every action, every minute away, everything.

“No, I didn’t want to add anything more to Mercy’s plate. I’m having the store brought to him this afternoon.”

Deacon’s smile shifted to a full-out laugh. “You’re whipped already.”

Completely and totally. I’d do anything for those two, and I really didn’t give a fuck who knew it. “There’s no shame in my game, Gramps. That’s one hell of a woman and her son is important to her, so he’s important to me.”

He nodded, seeming almost proud. “That’s the best way to look at it.”

It was, but work wouldn’t wait because we wanted to gossip about our love lives. We had a meeting to get to. One that had been my idea and still filled me with a sense of unease. “All right, enough jawing. Let’s go deal with this shit.”

I started my engine and walked the bike backward, managing a three-point turn in Deacon’s sad excuse for a driveway before rolling up the hill. He followed me in his truck, both of us heading toward Sterling as we’d planned. It was time to deal with Cartel.

Sterling sat just past the city of Crystal Falls—home of the bike store I was supposed to take Beckett to.
