Chapter 4

Hadley couldn’t help but laugh every time he looked at Dipshit. He thought the name was perfect for him and was sort of sad that he’d not thought of it himself. When his dad cleared his throat, he looked up at the judge who was hearing the case against Dipshit and his father. Donny was having a meltdown on the stand, so he simply stood up and went to the younger man.

Taking his hand into his, he felt his fear like it was a blanket over the younger man. He’d been beaten by his family so much that it was ingrained into his mind that no matter where they were when they saw him, he was going to be hurt. That was his fear right now. That his father and brother were going to hurt him badly this time.

“Look at the big dummy up there crying like he’s two instead of fifty.” Donny told his dad that he was only forty-one. “So what? You’re still acting like you’re only a baby.”

Levi started making baby noises at his son. It wasn’t until a loud growl from the back of the courtroom had him closing his mouth. While he didn’t know which one of the brothers or their wives did it, he was willing to bet that it was Rachel, Finn’s wife.

“I have you, Donny. You don’t have to look at them when the judge or the attorney asks you a question. You just answer them truthfully.” Donny nodded and turned in his chair so that he was facing the judge. He still had a tight grip on his hand, but he didn’t seem as afraid then. Judge Templeton had to be ninety years old, but he knew the law better than anyone he’d ever met. “You answer the questions and don’t pay the others any mind. I’ve got you.”

“Mr. Judge, they hurt me bad all the time.” Templeton asked Donny if he had any paperwork on it. “Paperwork?”

“I have it, your honor.” Imp made her way to the front and handed it up to the judge. “The hospital and his doctor dropped it off at my home after Donny had left to come here today.”

“Thank you, young lady.” Under normal circumstances, Imp would have torn a man apart for calling her that, but she was being on her best behavior. Right up until she stumbled into the table where Dipshit and Levi were sitting and knocked them both, chains and all, to the floor. “Are you all right, miss. My goodness. Did one of them try and trip you up? I’ll have none of that in my courtroom. You two behave or so help me, I’ll bring the hammer of the law down so hard on your head that—I might just do that anyway. From all the things I have before me about the two of you, I’d just as soon as see you in prison than just out roaming the streets where decent people are.”

“We didn’t do shit to her.
