What the fuck?
Greyson had actually called someone else’s mother on him. Yeah, that was low, and it was all kinds of shady.
Alice mommed up and read him the riot act about ten times over the course of the night. She threatened to beat his ass, handcuff him to the radiator, or shoot him in the ass if he tried to escape.
And Gene wasn’t sure she wouldn’t do all three, so again, the hostage situation continued.
Once morning came, Alice gave him his wallet and badge back, and then she drove him to the airport to‘go get her other son and bring him home’.
Sure.
She was helpful in the morning when he’d needed her to help a guy out hours ago.
As for finding Ethan...
Oh, well, he would.
But first, he had a bone to pick with a certain FBI director who needed to mind his fucking business. There was a list of people he was going to talk some sense into, starting with his boss.
Talk?
Who was he kidding?
Gene was going balls to the wall on this one, and they were going to have words. To be honest, he hoped Ethan couldhold on for a few days because Gene fully expected to be arrested for punching the dick in the face.
REPEATEDLY.
He was at his max for the bullshit that Gabe Rothschild was throwing out, and he was drawing the line in the sand over this one. If it took a felony charge for manhandling the deputy director…
So.
Be.
It.
That was a charge he was willing to take.
For Ethan, he’d go to jail for murdering someone like Javier Hughes—so beating the piss out of his boss?
That one didn’t even take a second thought. In fact, sign him up. It was time for some fun. That cast on his arm was about to come in handy.
Now, if only he had his gun back…
As the airplane landed, he was seething and a heady brew of rage just waiting to pop off at the first person who annoyed the fuck out of him.
Oh, and it wasn’t only aimed at Gabe.
When he came across his man, there were going to be harshly spoken words, too. It took a lot to make him this angry, but his lover, and boyfriend, had managed to get him there.
Gene had so many questions that deserved really good answers.
Like what?
Why wouldn’t he runTOhim?
Why wouldn’t he come home?
Why would he leave him behind?
