Chapter 17

When we’d finished up breakfast, I was surprised that Ryker stood and grabbed my plate and Levi’s, dumping it on top of his own plate, and then he carried them over to the sink.

“What?” he asked, as if he’d caught me looking. “My mother may have been a demon-hunting trollop with questionable morals and a whiff of dark magic, but she didn’t raise me to be a slob, either.”

“I’d love to hear all about your mom,” I said. “She seems fascinating.”

“Why?” Ryker nodded at my shirt. “You like her choice of band tees?”

I pulled the t-shirt away from my body to look down at the graphic on the front. “I didn’t even notice. I never heard of it.”

“They’re some underground punk thing. I don’t know, she loved music,” Ryker said. “Taught Levi how to play the guitar.”

“That’s cool,” I said. “I’d love to hear you play sometime.”

“Careful what you wish for.” Ryker turned the water on in the sink and began to scrub the dishes.

“I meant,” I said, “That your mom raised you in the Hunter life, right? Why did she choose that?”

“Born to it,” Ryker said shortly. “None of us had much choice.”

“So how did she know what you guys were? That you were part of the Four?”

Ryker sighed. There was tension visible in his shoulders, but he had promised me answers, and I saw him decide to soldier on even if he didn’t care for the subject much. “The Four. It’s a funny thing. They want… one woman. And they want her completely. No one else.”

“All of you want… one?” I asked. Trying to leave aside that the one happened to be me. “Doesn’t that make things a little… tense?”

“No,” Ryker said. “We don’t get jealous of each other. We just…” he shrugged, as if it were hard to go on. He looked up at me across the kitchen, as if he were appealing for pity.

“Ryker hates to talk about his feelings.” Levi had his arms crossed over his chest, and he leaned back in his chair, balancing it on the two rear legs, clearly relishing Ryker’s discomfort. “You’re torturing him. He’d probably rather be back on the waterboard.”

“Maybe not that far.” Ryker hung up the dish towel and, as he passed behind his brother towards me, casually knocked into spindled back of the chair. Levi sat up in a hurry as the chair went out from under him, catching the edge of the table with one hand and bolting to his feet.

Levi turned on his heel, and said without rancor, “I swear I said I’d kick your ass once we didn’t have to worry about Beefy and Burly doing it for me.”

“Let’s see it,” Ryker said, grinning back at him. He pushed Levi’s shoulder playfully. “Nah, I don’t think so, brother. You’ve got to rest up.”

“Nice excuse,” Levi said.

“I don’t want to beat up an invalid,” Ryker said. “No glory there.”

“Can we go talk to the hacker?” I asked lightly, taking one of their hands in each of mine.
