indication, I would say that they had a few words and they
aren’t in agreement.”
George threw back his head and laughed. Reed
was the baby, but he had learned to fight dirty. Having five older brothers had
given him that much. Plus, the boy just didn’t know when to give up. He handed
the phone to his mother when she asked.
“Yes, dear. Your father and I would like
to be kept in the loop.” She paused for several minutes. “Oh, I like that idea.
Yes, I do. Let us know what we can do to help.”
She closed the phone and handed it back
to him. Before he could ask what was going on, the phone rang again. This time,
the number was unknown.
“Will you please tell your moronic son
that I don’t care if he’s Godzilla himself, he is not strong enough to go with
me when I hunt the fucktard down that made me blow up my own fucking house? I
swear to Christ, he’s more stubborn than I am.”
George started to laugh, but held off.
The woman was pissed enough as it was. “I’m assuming this is Caitlynne McCray,
or is it Bowen now?”
“It’s McCray, thanks. Why would you…I
see, it’s one of those panther things. Once you fuck someone then every other
panther knows. Do I have to be careful of the zoo now?”
George laughed, unable to help himself. “No,
the zoo should be fine for you. I’d avoid the wolf cages, as well as the
smaller animal cages, though. They can smell him on you and you know all about
cats and dogs.”
“Right. You really don’t think I visit
the zoo, do you?” She took a deep breath. “I sort of accidentally knocked him
out. Do you know how long he’ll be down? I have to get going.”
Her scream had him jerking the phone
from his ear. He assumed that Walker was awake now. They were fighting and he
wished he was there to cheer the girl on. When he heard someone cry out, this
time he was sure it was Walker. Damn, but that girl was going to do just fine. Suddenly,
she was back on the phone.
“I swear to Christ…come here and get
him. I can’t…what the hell is wrong with him anyway? Doesn’t he get that I’m
going to get him killed?”
George thought maybe he didn’t. He asked
her where she was and when she told him, he told her he’d be there soon. He
looked at his mate and asked her what to do now. He handed her the phone when
she reached for it.
“Hello, Khan. This is your mother. I
need to borrow the SUV, please. And I want you to stay out of my way when I
come to get it.” She paused. “I don’t want you to come with me. I’m quite
capable of going to pick up Walker all—no. I forbid you to…suit yourself then.”
He stared at her for several seconds. “Why
you sly devil you. You did that on purpose. You knew he’d come with…what’s he
going to do when we get there and Lynne is still with him?”
“He said she couldn’t come on the
property. He didn’t say anything about him going to where she is.” She stood
up. “Come on, and try to act a little more fragile, please. We want him to have
to help with Walker, don’t we?”
Chapter Nine
Walker glared at her again. The nerve of
her… “I want you to uncuff me right this minute. I will not be sitting here
like this when my father shows up.”
She ignored him as she’d done for the
past hour. He watched her as she packed up her bags. She’d checked every gun in
her bag and then refolded her underwear twice. He knew she was trying to piss
him off and he was really going to beat her ass when he got loose.
“You can sit there for five more
minutes. Your mother, a very nice woman, by the way, said they’d be here soon.”
She sat on the bed in front of him. “You know this is for the best, Walker. We
can’t be seen together or he’ll go after you.”
He wanted to roar at her, but didn’t. The
car pulling up out front made him think his dad had borrowed the bigger van to
bring him home. He jerked at the handcuffs again. The knock at the door had him
