Chapter Twenty

Caleb

Jonah and I split the phone calls to the two other members of our fearsome foursome. Austin Pope, Jonah’s business partner, is the first to arrive.

After the necessary greetings to both the baby and Burger—including sloppy kisses from both—I introduce Holly to the new guy.

Austin smiles and shakes her hand, then says to me, “Your text sounded ominous, Cal. You sending us into a war zone?”

“Nothing as official as that,” I tell him. “I will need to make use of your special-ops training, though.”

Austin’s ex-military. He and Jonah go way back, and the two of us used to be drinking buddies before I got off the sauce. We’ve both seen more awful shit than most men will ever see in their lifetimes. It’s not often you find someone you can bond with over trauma.

“Sounds illegal.” Austin smirks. The droning growl of a Harley rumbles up the driveway. “Speak of the devil...”

Austin opens the kitchen door, siccing a very excited Burger onto his younger brother, Mike.

“Whoa, buddy,” Mike says, climbing off his bike. Burger plants his paws on Mike’s shoulders and begins bathing the man’s face in dog slobber. “Good to see you, too.”

“Jesus,” Austin yells, “get a room.”

Mike brings Burger inside and gives baby Joey a few quick tosses in the air before planting a friendly kiss on Teagan’s cheek. The two of them look like walking canvasses with all their tattoos.

I introduce Mike and Holly. From the tired look in her eyes, I can tell the socialization is taking its toll on her energy levels. The fact that she’s still eager to head out and search for McKenzie is a testament to her strength and how far she’s willing to push outside her comfort zone.

“I want you girls back before sundown,” Jonah says to Teagan. “Make sure your phone is charged and call us if you run into anything.”

“We will.” She rises onto her toes to kiss her husband. He pulls her tight against him, prompting me to squeeze Holly’s hand.

“Promise me you won’t take any unnecessary risks,” I tell her.

“I promise, Daddy,” Holly whispers. I know she needs to do this, but watching her leave is gonna fucking gut me.

The girls load Burger into the Escalade and back out onto the street.

“So, what’s the deal?” Mike asks, after they’ve taken off.

Jonah and I share a tense glance.

“You fill them in while I put Joey down for his nap,” Jonah says.

Austin, Mike, and I head downstairs to the rec room. Mike takes a seat on the leather wrap-around sofa, while Austin fetches three beers from the minifridge and a Coke for me. I start filling them in on what’s happened so far. The details of the case and Russell King’s part in it.

A few minutes later, Jonah comes down the stairs, sets the baby monitor on the coffee table, and cracks open the cold one Austin grabbed for him.

“King sounds like a real piece of shit,” Austin says. “What do you need from us?”

I take a swig of my cola.
