Chapter Ten

The tranquilizer always made Landon feel woozy.

He’d been taken back home and he’d recognized the basement anywhere. In the cages, Tulip and Jade were there as well.

“How the fuck did they get past our traps?” Jade said. “We know how to take care of ourselves, Landon.”

“They were better. Rick knows how to deal with shit. I’m sorry,” he said. He’d failed these two women and it was all his fault. “They won’t hurt you.”

“No, they’re going to send me back to my family, Landon. You know what that means.”

“I’ll talk with them. I’ll negotiate. You know I won’t let anything happen to you,” he said.

“You can’t stop them. You and I both know that. We’re fucked. I’m fucked.” Jade sobbed.

“Look, they haven’t sent you back to your parents, at least not yet. Don’t give up hope.”

“It’s kind of hard not to. They can kill me whenever they want,” Jade said. “Landon, you promised.”

“I won’t let anything happen to you.”

“Son, you’re not in any position to make deals,” Rick said as he entered the basement and walked down the steps. He switched the light on.

Tulip was still in the bedsheet. There was no heating down here. Rick didn’t have a warm bone in his body, so he wouldn’t care if she got sick. He’d done this on purpose to have him at his mercy, and he fucking hated him for it.

Gritting his teeth, he watched his uncle, who looked like he didn’t have a care in the world. “What do you want?”

“What do I want?” Rick laughed. “I want to go back to a year ago when you’d come to me rather than fucking kill your father. I can deal with a lot of shit, Landon. This is bigger than you think.”

“I don’t give a fuck. He had to die. The deals he was doing, even you know it was fucked up for a Denton to even consider aligning himself with any other family.” Landon spat the words out.

“You and I both agree on something. I’ll give you that, but it doesn’t change what happened.” Rick dragged a chair across the basement.

Landon looked toward his woman and saw her lips were blue. “She’ll die if you don’t get her somewhere warm.”

“Well, that’s all up to you, isn’t it, Landon?” Rick said. “I have to say I was surprised to see the Castillo girl alive and well, and what’s more, a part of your little group.”

“Have you told her family?”

“No. I know I’m going to need some information first on what the fuck is going on. I’m not an idiot and I don’t make deals, not without all the answers. She’s your fiancée, Landon. Tell me what deal you made with her.”

“No, you get them into the warmth before I make any deals with you.”

He expected the blow to the face and took it. Jade cried out. “You leave him alone. We didn’t need your help.”

“You think it wouldn’t have taken people long to figure out where you were?” Rick asked. “It didn’t take me long and I’m family.
