Chapter 12

Edward’s hand tightened around his coffee cup as he

heard the front door open, then shut. Brianna glanced

over her shoulder from where she stood at the stove but

quickly looked away. He’d been in a dark mood all morn-

ing and had been very close to taking it out on her.

Something he had no doubt she knew, because she’d

been unusually quiet and stayed out of his way.

“Hello?” Joseph called from the front of the house.

Edward didn’t shout out for him. If Joseph wanted to

find them, he could damn well look, like a normal human

being.

Wearing a thick down coat and the same jeans and

boots from yesterday, Joseph walked into the kitchen.

He paused in the entrance and froze, probably because

of the glare Edward gave him. “What’s going on?”

“Where were you all night?” he asked calmly.

He shrugged and stepped into the room. As he did, he

pulled off his gloves. “I did what you said. I followed

Katarina Saburova and tried to stake out her place, but

I got a bad feeling, so I left.”

“Bad feeling?”

“Yeah, man. Like her place was already being watched

by someone else or something. You said the enforcer

wants her, so I didn’t want to hang around too late and

get killed if that dude was there.”

“So where have you been all night?” The story

sounded like bullshit, but lately everything out of Jo-

seph’s mouth did.

He shrugged again in that maddening disrespectful

manner and headed for the stove. “Something smells

good.” When he tried to take a piece of the bacon, Bri-

anna whacked his hand with a wooden spoon.

Edward inwardly smiled, but something about Jo-

seph’s attitude was off. “So where were you, then?” He

hated repeating himself, but he wanted an answer.

“I met a chick and stayed the night at her place.

You’re not my fucking father. I tried to do the job and

couldn’t, so I got laid. It’s none of your damn business

what I do in my off time.”

He hated his attitude, but that sounded more like the

Joseph he knew. Sighing, he pushed his mug away from

him. He was just being paranoid. Joseph sure as hell

wasn’t a mole in the APL and he had no reason to lie.

The guy was too fucking stupid, so it didn’t surprise him

he’d been thinking with his dick last night. He could rep-

rimand him, but it likely wouldn’t do any good and he

didn’t have the energy this morning. “There’s a fresh pot

of coffee on if you want some.”

Visibly relaxing, the young man shrugged off his coat

and laid it on the back of one of the chairs. “I’ll grab

some in a minute. I need to shower and wash that bitch’s

stank off me.”

After he disappeared from the room, Brianna shook

her head. “He’s so disgusting. I don’t know why you put

up with him.”

He depended on these recruits and she knew it, even

if she wouldn’t admit it out loud. Thanks to his scarred

face, he was likely to be remembered everywhere he

went. Before his accident he’d been a normal- looking

guy. Good- looking enough to get laid on a regular basis

anyway. It had been so easy for him to fly under the ra-

dar everywhere he’d gone.
