CHAPTER FIVE

Kera dug through the bag of toys and found a toy cell phone that beeped when you pressed the buttons. Sticking her tongue between her teeth in mock concentration, she dialed a set of random numbers then put the phone against Kyle’s ear. “Daddy’s on the phone and he wants to talk to you.” Kyle froze at the word Daddy, and after a moment of listening he began to babble “Dada dada.”

Kera chuckled at the sight while Weave recorded the image over her shoulder on his cell phone then sent it off via text to Bob “There, that should help pass the time while daddy is working.”

The mention of Bob working while Weave wasn’t gave Kera the opening she’d been searching for. “So Shannon and Bob didn’t have a problem covering everything themselves when you told them you were going to need to be off for a while?”

“Nah, I’ve become more of a third party investor over the past year and a half as it is, plus there are plenty of people out there needing a job so it’s not hard to find someone to fill my spot,” he paused as if hesitant to say more, and she prayed he would finally admit the truth. He didn’t disappoint. “Also,” he added haltingly, “I’ve been thinking about selling out my part of the business.”

“And do what?” she asked as if the answer wasn’t really that important to her, while inside she was mentally poised on the edge of her seat.

“I want to go back to fighting,” he answered in a rush.

“I think that’s a wonderful idea.”

“You do,” he asked skeptically. “You aren’t worried that I’ll go back to my old ways?”

“I know you won’t,” she answered immediately. “You’ve seen what lies down that path, and you know the high price because you’ve paid it once already. You won’t make the same choice twice.”

Bob’s phone buzzed across the top of his desk, and he snatched it up. He watched the short video clip of Kyle with a half-smile playing across his lips. He felt a sudden surge of gratefulness for his brother. It hadn’t occurred to him that Weave might be willing, much less wanting, to take Kyle for a few hours here and there to give him a much-needed break. He had a girl that watched him when he worked at night, but during the day when he worked at the office, he normally just brought Kyle with him. He loved his son more than anyone, and without him he might have eventually been lost down the same road Weave had been, but every day Kyle gave him a renewed sense of hope and somehow he carried on, but he couldn’t deny that having a few hours to himself every once in awhile had been a nice change.

He prayed he didn’t lose Weave again when Kera passed on. It had come as a huge shock to find out that Weave was married, but to find out on the heels of that, that Kera was dying—they had all been blown away.
