JACKSON

Jackson Savage was pissed off. He wanted to throttle his fool brother. He wanted to kick Nathan’s ass up and down Russia until he figured out he couldn’t just up and leave and take a fucking vacation.

Okay—well, said like that, it sounded unreasonable, but, fuck, Jack had told him not to go unarmed. But had he listened? No. No, he hadn’t and now here they were in bum-fuck middle of nowhere Russia retrieving his ass. Jackson was well aware that his stupid brother was going through some shit, but getting himself caught and tortured was not the way to go about solving those problems.

Not that Nathan had done it on purpose. Or shit-sticks. Maybe he had.

Well, fuck, that thought was an unsettling one.

Jackson could do nothing but internally growl as that idea settled its claws into his brain and froze his blood.

If Nathan had gone to Russia with the sole purpose of getting himself... punished, was the only word his brain was supplying, then they were in more trouble than he’d thought. Jackson had thought his brother’s mental health was... well, fuck, he’d thought Nathan was just fuckin’ fine. Definitely not to the point of seeking out punishment like some damn monk.

But then again, maybe he was just thinking too much about it. Surely, he or one of the fifty thousand people in the Savage clan would have noticed the signs of depression or PTSD. Fuck, they all suffered some form of that shit and no one was exactly shy about what they needed or what they thought someone else needed in their family. In fact, everyone had an opinion about every-fucking-thing under the sun and they would gladly shove their opinions down the throats of anyone within earshot. Nate’s possible depression would not have escaped the notice of his parents, his six brothers, and that of the fifteen other people employed by SI. There was just no fucking way Nathan was that far gone.

Or maybe he was just really good at hiding it.

Jackson remembered the scrawny, angry kid that Nathan had once been. Back before Ellen and Bobby had gotten a hold of him. He’d been all elbows and knees and rage. Kid Nathan had not been good at hiding his emotions or controlling them. Adult Nathan was much better at the emotional shit but just as crap at hiding what he was feeling. Jackson racked his brain for any instance where that didn’t hold true.

Nathan was by far one of the most emotionally stable Savages. The man laughed easily, channeled his rage into healthy outlets, and voluntarily talked about the shit that bothered him. And then turned around and forced his brothers to do the same. Nathan cried every single time he watched Steel Magnolias, and didn’t try to pretend like there was something in his eye when Holden made fun of him.

Which had to count for something when considering mental stability, right? So, his adopted brother was mentally sound.

Right?

Fuck, he didn’t know. He was so swamped with work from all fronts.
