CHAPTER TWELVE

Locke watched the doctor’s bedroom door remain stubbornly closed. Part of him wanted to curse at Gage for suggesting that the three of them share a bed so quickly.

Returning to the task at hand, he checked his phone again as he finished preparing sandwiches. With his mind torn in so many directions, he knew that preparing something more complicated than that would be a disaster.

The shuffle coming from the hallway told him that Gage was up. Definitely not a good idea, but Locke had learned early on to let his friend experience his bad decisions for himself. The trouble was, he would need to be carried to bed later, and Gage was anything but a featherweight.

“Damn, I need a shower.”

The grouchy voice almost made him smile, but it was the way he held his body that stopped him. Gage was in pain and it showed. And if it showed, it was more serious than he’d thought.

Once Gage had functioned an entire week with a dislocated shoulder and nobody ever guessed. The beating he’d taken, even if he’d ultimately won, showed on his body. He had taken a pair of his sweatpants from his dresser. Locke made a mental note to tidy it up again later.

“Wrong room. And go back to bed. I’m bringing you something to eat.”

“Better not be soup, I hate soup. I’m hungry. I’ll eat and then I’ll have a shower.”

Gage shuffled his big body to the couch, but was very careful lowering himself down, wincing the entire way. With a sigh of relief, he let his head fall back and closed his eyes.

“You should have listened to the doctor. You need rest, not a shower, not wandering around … but even if the devil himself ordered you to stay in bed, you would still spit in his eye.”

A low hum came from his lips that could have meant anything.

“Are you up for eating something, or would you prefer to wait?”

Gage tapped the empty place beside him. “I’ll eat, just put it there.”

Locke wasn’t doing that and instead placed the plate on the kitchen table. “When you’re hungry enough, you’ll eat at the table.”

Gage sighed and finally looked up. “A few crumbs on your expensive sofa won’t ruin the day, bro.”

Prepared for the same endless battle they’d had for years, Locke didn’t budge. However, Gage wasn’t in the mood for a fight, as he only looked at him. “You’re distracted. Preoccupied. And let me guess, it’s not entirely due to the luscious doctor.”

It was difficult to hide anything from him. “Luther.”

Immediately, Gage was on high alert. “He called?”

Locke shook his head. “No, but our informant told me that he’s on another last-minute rampage. And from what he understood, it’s a special request from a few of his partners.”

Groaning, Gage slid to the edge of his seat before using the armrest to push himself up. “Then you’re close to having something concrete. Do you know where he plans to kidnap the girls?”

Locke crossed his arms, leaning on the counter.
