CHAPTER 15

Patch

Henry Beaumont lives in a single wide trailer on the outskirts of town. According to the bank records we were able to pull from Bullet’s system, he and his wife previously lived in a prominent subdivision not too far from Main Street. All that changed when she died. With no life insurance, it took all he had to bury her. Soon after, his business went down the tank when he started missing work. When you’re the sole employee, there’s no one there to pick up your slack; the only option is shutting down business. It was around that time that he would randomly visit the emergency room, always sighting pain that was simple enough for him to play up. He knew the doctors would write off with medication and assure him the pain would go away in a couple days.

A few months later, Henry was in an accident and the pain was very real. I suspect this is where his true addiction came out, but we’ll never know for sure. After the car accident landed him in the emergency room, he required back surgery. Henry finally had access to an entirely new scapegoat for his pain, and the excuse he needed to get his next fix.

Angel turns the van’s headlights off as we slow to a stop further down the road. All the lights in the house are off, but low flickering lights come from a TV at the back of the house. We exit the van silently, and without a word we move toward the house. Angel nudges my arm with his elbow. His voice barely a whisper, “You thought this through at all?”

I stop and crouch beside him behind a row of trees. “What do you mean?”

“You said he’s got kids, right? What are we gonna do? Just take the dad and leave ‘em here?”

Jesus fuckin’—Fuck me. The kids. I rub the base of my neck. I was so focused on the fuckin’ dad that I forgot the kids. I sink down to the ground and pull my knees up to rest my head in my hands. “Fuck!” The whole reason we’re doing this is for the broken boy I saw today, and yet it didn’t occur to me once that if we took the piece of shit, they would be here alone.

Beside me, Angel snorts. “Can see you didn’t think of that.” I glare at him as he pulls out his cell and starts typing out a text. Minutes later, he looks down at me. “Got it covered.”

“Who did you just text?”

“Jax.” He shrugs like it’s no big deal. But it is. It’s a huge fucking deal.

“Brother,” I warn low. “You fuckin’ know what Priest will do if he finds out?” If Jax shows up, it will mean he’ll know with absolute certainty what we’re going to do here tonight. It will also mean loose ends that we could potentially have to tie one day.

Angel huffs out a breath. “Will you fuckin’ relax? Do you honestly
