Chapter 20

Boxer fell asleep soon after his pronouncement. I sat with him for a bit, listening to the sounds of his breathing.

I rose from the bed and went to turn off the light. I crept from the room, shutting the door behind me. As I leaned against the wall, I closed my eyes for a moment, trying to keep the bile in my belly. I breathed deeply a few times, trying to get my feelings under control.

There was a special place in hell for people who hurt the innocent, especially children.

Boxer and the Blue Angels saved women and children. I let out a snort.

Oh, the irony of their club’s name.

I pushed away from the wall and trudged downstairs. The mood was somber, and no one was talking. Three Blue Angels lifted their bottles of booze toward me.

I took Colt’s because he was the closest. Lifting the bottle to my nose, I then gave it a cautionary sniff. It made my eyes water.

“Moonshine,” Colt supplied.

“Should’ve known.” I took a massive drink and it burned on the way down, but then a kernel of warmth spread throughout my belly. I took a seat on the arm of the couch, not sure of my place.

“He told you,” Colt stated knowingly.

I nodded.

“Okay then. You should know we had church and discussed it,” Colt said. “We all voted and agreed we were going to tell you.”

“What’s church?” I asked.

“It’s how we discuss club matters,” Zip explained. “It’s all orderly and shit.”

“Orderly and shit, right.” I took another swallow, trying to scorch the horrors of what might have happened to the women and children from my imagination. “He had South Paw drive him to my place the night you found the kids.”

Reap sucked in a breath, as if he was wishing for another cigarette.

“He didn’t tell me anything,” I hastened to say. “But he was drunk as a skunk, and he looked…haunted. Now I know why.”

“You didn’t press him, did you?” Colt asked. “About why he came to you in that state?”

I shook my head. “No.”

“Why not?” Zip demanded.

“Because getting an answer from him wasn’t the most important thing at that moment. He just needed me to be there for him.”

The room fell silent for a moment and then Reap said, “Wow. You really get him.”

I gave him a watery smile. “I think we get each other. I need some air, and then I’ll hit the sack. Is the room next to Boxer’s free?” There wasn’t enough space to put a mattress on the floor and sleep near him, and I wouldn’t share his bed. I wanted him to have as much room as possible.

“Yeah. It was cleaned after the Idaho boys left,” Zip said.

“Thanks.”

“If you’re not going to keep drinking that moonshine, you mind giving it back?” Colt asked with a smile.

“Like hell I’m giving this back. I earned it,” I said, causing the guys to chuckle. I got up and headed down the hallway to the back door. I pushed open the screen and stepped out into the night.
