There should only ever be one reason why she’s bound and gagged, and it has nothing to do with Donny or any motherfucker other than me.
The only person’s mercy she should ever be at is mine, but she should know that only pleasure will come out of it.
Ripping my eyes from Hadley, I look at her surroundings.
“Motherfucker,” I grate, now seeing all the things I missed before. “So she’s in our old trailer. What are you suggesting we do exactly? He’ll be expecting us. We can’t just march in and demand her back.”
“I haven’t entirely figured that out yet,” he admits with a heavy sigh.
“And here I was, thinking you knew what you were doing,” I mutter.
“I’m sorry, but this isn’t exactly a daily fucking occurrence for me. We just need to get there, is all I know.” He takes another corner way too fast, but I sense it coming this time and hold on as he leans into it. “We’ll go around the back, get a sense of what’s going on, and then we’ll make a plan.”
I want to cuss and shout that he doesn't have anything better, but I know he’s right. We can’t possibly make a plan until we know what we’re dealing with.
The rest of the drive toward Sterling Heights is in silence. The tension and anticipation in the car is so thick it’s hard to breathe, but I use it to fuel me. I channel it into my determination to get Hadley out of this in one piece.
Every part of me screams to go running in there, but I know I need to be smarter if I don’t want to get us all killed.
Fuck. Fuck. Fuck.
“This is all your fault,” I grate out.
Ace glances over at me. “You really want to play that game right now?”
“I need to blame someone,” I mutter, once again beginning to lose control.
“Yeah, well try looking a little further afield than this car. I only did what I had to do to keep us alive. Our parents are the ones who fucked this all up.”
Ain’t that the fucking truth.
“You still want to go to James with this?”
“I don’t fucking know what to do about this right now. This is a fucking mess.” Anger fills his tone, and while I know that he’s pissed I took his place with Donny, I suspect he’s angrier with himself for putting me in that position in the first place.
“If that cunt had just done what he should have from the very beginning, then none of this would have happened,” I muse.
“It’s too late now, Cole. What’s done is done.”
“For you, maybe,” I mutter, but I soon slam my lips shut when he looks over at me.
“What the hell is that supposed to mean?”
“Nothing. Forget it.”
“Fuck that, Cole. What don’t I know?”
“Nothing. Go down that way,” I say, pointing down one of the various tracks that lead to our former trailer park.
He glances over, his eyes telling me that this isn’t over. As far as I’m concerned, it is. I have no intention of ever telling anyone the things that still haunt me from our childhood. No one else deserves to have that fucked-up shit in their heads.
Ace pulls the car to a stop and kills the engine far enough away that no one would hear us coming.
“What the fuck are you waiting for?” I bark at him when he remains in his seat.
“Pass me your cell again.”
I do as I’m told, and he stares down at the image in silence for a few seconds.
