“Hello again, Niamh,” I said, smiling as I got into the blacked-out Mercedes they were driving. “Such a pleasure to see your smiling face.”

“Pleasure is all mine. Nice boots,” he said as he looked back at me over the driver’s seat. I could hear the sarcasm in his voice as he fought not to roll his eyes. And I decided there and then that we were going to get along just fine.

“Ready?” Mots asked.

“Ready as I’ll ever be.”

Which was not very ready at all. I hadn’t seen any of these people since I ran away. I didn’t know who was on our side and who wasn’t. I didn’t know who knew what my father was trying to do to me and who was none the wiser.

The thought of seeing people who had sat by and let him try to kill me made my stomach turn and my fingers itch for one of the many weapons I had on my person. I wanted to make each one of them feel everything I had felt over the last years and especially what I felt in the moment that night.

I may have been an adult in their eyes and the eyes of the law, but I was still a kid. That fucking family had stolen a lot of my innocence over the years, but that night took the cake. Even if I did have a shitty childhood, I had always thought I still had a home. But my father and his little cultlike followers had taken that from me. They had stolen the one thing I thought I could always rely on.

“It’s going to be a quick one,” Motshan said, bringing me out of my thoughts.

“The funeral?”

“Yeah. I guess in his will he stated that he wanted a quick funeral and a long celebration back at the house,” he said.

“Who knew he had such a kind bone in his body to spare us all the religious bullshit?” Niamh remarked.

“It’s not out of kindness,” I told him. “He didn’t give a shit about all of that stuff either. He wants us to go home to where we can all speak freely and speak of him. He wants us to have plenty of time with each other to talk about all the wonderful and amazing things he did for this family.”

“That tracks,” Niamh said as we turned into the entrance of the cemetery. “Where will the guys be?”

“My three will stay at the mausoleum. Close enough to see what’s going on but far enough away that no one else will see them. They’ll have eyes on me,” I added just to make sure they knew they couldn’t get away with anything. I wanted to trust both of them. I wanted to think I wasn’t walking into a starving lion’s den, but I just couldn’t push down that anxious energy.

“Alright,” Niamh said, pulling off the side of the pavement and into the soft grass. “You guys ready for this?”

“I think we’re both ready to just get it over with,” Motshan said, looking over at me and grabbing my hand.
