“Yeah, buddy?”
“I was thinking. If a morgue worker dies, do they still have to go into work one more time?”
Smirking, I shook my head.
God, this kid was funny.
“Guess they would have to, wouldn’t they?”
“Yeah. I guess they would.”
Pulling into the compound, I parked my truck in my spot and turned off the engine.
“Alright, little man. We’re home.”
“Sweet!” Cameron shouted, unbuckling himself from his booster seat. “Gotta go find Scribe.”
“Why?”
“Cause we gotta start the planting.”
Turning in my seat, I looked at the kid. “And what exactly are you two planting, by the way? Neither of you have said.” For the last few months, Cameron and Scribe had been building the greenhouse out back, but lately, they’ve been real hush hush about what they were planting. Most of the brothers didn’t give a shit, but I was curious, and so was King, especially when Scribe received a couriered package that only he could sign for and required a thumbprint. Once received, Scribe skedaddled off to the greenhouse and disappeared for the next three days. Not even Henley knew what he was doing.
Oh, and there was also a secret knock to get into the greenhouse that only Scribe and Cameron knew.
It was a mystery.
“Um...” Cameron quickly shut his mouth before opening the back door. “Can’t tell. It’s top secret!”
Watching while he bolted from the cab of my truck, I shook my head and smiled. That kid had more secrets and projects going on than I did. If the little man wanted to keep a secret, who was I to stop him?
It was part of the bestie code.
Well, that’s what Bailey told me.
Reaching for the small wooden box, I stepped out of my vehicle when a vintage red mustang pulled up.
Now, that was one sweet ride.
A 1965 Ford Mustang Fastback, painted candy apple red with two white stripes running bumper to bumper. The car was a work of art with all the original parts, just like the owner, Dr. Claudia James. She was one of Rosewood’s local doctors and the most beautiful woman I’d ever seen.
My dream girl.
Claudia, not the car.
Well, the car was hot too.
Unable to move, I watched when she stormed into the clubhouse shouting for her brother.
She looked mad.
That wasn’t anything new.
In fact, she’d been mad a lot lately.
Generally, Claudia was a sweet woman, but lately she seemed stressed and overworked. I knew she worked hard at the clinic in town, taking over the practice from the old coot who once owned the place. If she wasn’t at the clinic, Doc Claudia would be on call at Rosewood Memorial Hospital. With her specialty in general surgery and obstetrics, Doc Claudia was in high demand. Especially since three of the women in the club were now expecting.
It seemed every time I turned around, a brother was finding the love of their life and starting a family. I was genuinely happy for them. I really was. They all deserved happiness. Henley told me a few weeks ago that someone was out there looking for me.
