OF ALL THE places Lester Percy believed he would end up today, sitting on the balcony outside of Ben Riker’s bedroom with a rifle in his hand came in dead last. But he supposed that today was a day for a lot of firsts.

Lester kept an eye on the surrounding woods. He hated to admit it, but Ben was right about this being a good vantage point. He could see for a clear fifty yards in any direction, all well within his ability to kill anyone who moved close.

Lester glanced down at the blood on his arms. His thoughts drifted to Gray, who was bleeding out on Ben’s kitchen table.

It pained Lester to ask for help from anyone. But for him to turn to Ben Riker, a man he had hated since the pair were schoolboys growing up in these same hills, that was just about unbearable.

But he wasn’t about to lose his only son.

Lester knew he was a shit daddy. Hell, he learned everything he knew from his own shit daddy. And his shit daddy before him, and his before him. The Percy men had a long history of neglectful fathers, and Lester was no exception. But Lester didn’t beat Gray like his own daddy beat him. By Percy standards, Lester was father of the year.

Lester held strong feelings for his boy. Feelings that he never shared because he was afraid. Even admitting it now made Lester antsy, despite the words only echoing in his mind. He suspected that stemmed from his own daddy’s teachings. Everyone always told him to bury his emotions. But it never stayed buried. It always bubbled up sooner or later.

Anger blinded Lester to whatever consequences followed his actions. His anger had gotten him into more binds than anyone else he knew, including his father.

Lester knew the rumors about his family. Despite living in the middle of the woods, he still heard people talk. And everyone who heard the name Percy associated him with the same phrase: killers.

But despite the moniker, Lester Percy had never killed anyone in his entire life. He had beaten guys to a pulp, but he never murdered anyone. But still, that word was passed down to him like his last name. Because it was Lester’s father who was a killer.

Buford Percy’s actions had ruined the lives of two families the day he decided to get behind the wheel after downing a bottle of Jack Daniels at the bar. And while Buford walked away from the collision with nothing more than cuts and bruises, he had killed Marilyn and Christopher Riker, Ben’s parents.

It had been a simple chance encounter that Ben’s parents had been driving on the same road as Buford Percy the night he decided to get blackout drunk, which was almost every night. But all it took was one swerve and boom!

Two families were never the same again.

Both of Ben’s parents were killed instantly upon impact. Buford Percy was thrown from his vehicle but survived with nothing more than scrapes and bruises from the ejection.
