Chapter Seven

Chaz knew his mate was hurting, and tried his best to comfort him, without really knowing how. They’d both had bombshells dropped on them in the past two days, and Sherman was struggling. Cracker had gone to ground, holding up with Douglas and Ryder, and none of them had been seen since Kaden had rolled into town, nearly starting an all-out war.

While Sherman slept, after some sexy bonding time, Chaz read through the file given to him by the sheriff. It was late, after one in the morning, and Chaz’s brain was reeling. The information in the papers he had in front of him made him sick to his stomach…a common affliction when dealing with the cult.

Rubbing his eyes, he got up to grab another coffee, glancing up to see Cracker standing in the kitchen, looking lost, his blond hair all tousled and his eyes red around the edges, as though he’d been crying.

“Coffee?” Chaz asked, retrieving a second cup from the cupboard. “Or do you want something to eat? I’m pretty good with a toaster,” he said with a slight smile.

Cracker shook his head, and wandered over to sit at the large dining table. “Just coffee, thanks.” He was looking down at the papers spread out, and looked pale as he began to read.

“Kaden was as much a victim as you, Cracker,” Chaz said softly, filling the machine with water and then dumping a filter in, along with some freshly ground coffee beans.

“I guess so,” the big man said absently, and sat down. “This makes interesting reading,” he added, studying the documents intently.

“Years ago, when stuff started kicking off here, after Joe and the crew arrived, we figured out just how many lives the cult destroyed,” Chaz said. “Everyone in town, pretty much, has been affected, either directly or losing loved ones. The pastor used places of worship to target people, and insinuated followers into the lives of innocents, warping their minds.”

“They even had connections at San Quentin,” Aston said, entering the room, looking sleepy. He placed a hand on Cracker’s shoulder, offering support. “The guy I was friendly with, he was killed by someone who had those connections. And you know I was sent there because of orders from the higher-ups in the cult. Law enforcement, lawyers, wardens, preachers…the network stretches far and wide.”

“It means there are still some of them out there, with blood on their hands,” Ryder interjected as he wandered through from the bedroom, Douglas close behind. “Cal and I have been doing more checks, seeing if we can weed out the bad seeds. We have access to files, as well. We need help, though, because the perpetrators hide themselves well.”

“Everyone leaves a trail,” Sherman said gruffly, joining the discussion as he entered the kitchen, as well. Chaz got more cups down and set up the second coffee machine they had as a standby—they’d had to since their apartment was filling up with mates.

Chaz finished what he was doing and went over to hug his mate, kissing him hard.
