We walked up the steps to the house, and when I entered, I was a little shocked at what I found. All of my brothers were sitting at the table, ice packs in hand as they groaned and whined. Carly was drinking some water as she sat at the table.

“Carly,” I admonished. “Did I need to specify that you shouldn’t try and kill my brothers while I was gone?”

“What?” she said with indignation. “I didn’t try to kill them. They seemed to think that they could kick my ass and wanted me to prove that I could take care of myself. I was proving a point.”

I turned to my brothers and sighed. “Did you not hear me when I said mafia?”

“Yeah,” Andrew snorted. “But I didn’t think you meant mafia mafia.”

I shook my head in irritation. This was a bad idea. They had no idea what they were in for. “You guys should head to bed.”

“What are you going to do?” Eric asked.

“I have to keep watch.”

“You don’t think they’ll come here, do you?” Robert asked. “I mean, how could they possibly know that you’re here?”

“We still don’t know how they found us the last time,” I sighed. “Did you call Derek?”

“He’s getting a team together now. He said they should be here by mid-day, but in the meantime…”

I narrowed my eyes at him. “In the meantime, what?”

Headlights flashed outside and I pulled my gun. I reached for Carly, but she was already on her feet, gun in hand.

“Who the fuck did you call?”

“Relax,” Eric said, holding out his hands. “It’s just Jack and Corduroy.”

“What?” I asked, slipping into the shadows as the car parked.

“The sheriff and his deputy,” Eric clarified. “You remember him, and Corduroy went to school with Robert. They’re here to help.”

“Goddamnit,” I swore. “When I said that I needed to trust you, I meant that you would keep this between us.”

“They’re not going to tell anyone,” Eric tried to assure me, but I was so far past assurances at this point.

“I knew we shouldn’t have stayed.” I looked at Carly, who looked just as apprehensive as I did. I strode across the room and took her hand in mine, dragging her behind me to the front of the house.

“Where are you going?” Will asked as he followed me.

“To hide.”

“From what?”

I spun around and got in his face. “You have no fucking clue what you’re dealing with. Do you really think I would have run if I could have trusted just anyone? I don’t give a shit how trustworthy they are. You brought them in here without talking to me first. You put them in danger.”

“This is their job, man. Besides, Derek told us to do it.”

I shook my head and pulled Carly behind me, hiding in the front hall closet just as the back door opened. I left the door cracked so I could hear what was going on.

“Is there some reason you called me out here in the middle of the night on New Year’s?”

“We have a situation we need help with,” Eric said.
