“Mine,” he rasps.
“Ours,” Derek and I whisper, our lungs heaving with exertion.
This isn’t how I saw Nurse Ratched’s execution, but I wouldn’t want it any other way.

ORION
Iknow what obsession is, because I get hyper fixated on my kills. I just never thought I’d feel it with two people that I wanted to keep alive.
I glance over at Lennon, who is peacefully napping in the car on the way home. There was a shower off of the kill room, and the three of us scrubbed the blood away before leaving. We exited quickly after redressing, the clean up crew nodding as we passed them.
It felt odd leaving them to clean up for us, but I’m sure they have a system in place. Now Derek is zoning out in the back seat with a small smile on his face, and I’m driving home.
The drive flies by, and Greg meets us in the driveway when we pull up. Leaving Lennon sleeping in the car, I step out to speak to him.
“How did everything go?” he asks softly, glancing at Lennon sleeping. “She okay?”
“Yeah, she’s fine. Lennon’s just tired from the long day. It was also emotional for her as well. Her father refused to believe her when he called her back. He told her she needed to seek treatment, because Carrie was dead and Lennon clearly was released too soon from the mental institution she was in,” I explain, anger beginning to lick through me as I remember his words
“Motherfucker,” Greg growls, grabbing his phone. “I didn’t want to do this because he’s her father, but I’m going to have the police pick him up as a suspect in a sexual assault case. Maybe they’ll rough him up too if I ask nicely enough.”
There’s an evil gleam in his eye and I snort. Crazy fucker. “Woah, Lennon called Jordan and he’s taking care of it. You’ll find that there’s an all points bulletin out for his arrest now,” I tell him.
Greg stares at me before nodding. “I’ll get on my computer then and see if he’s been picked up yet. Don’t leave Lennon in the car,” he barks and I roll my eyes.
I can take care of her just fine. Derek leaned on the car listening to us, and as Greg leaves, he walks over to Lennon’s side of the car. Opening the door, he unbuckles her seatbelt and picks her up to take inside.
Moving together, I open the front door for them. Lennon is still catching up on sleep that’s not plagued by nightmares, and I don’t want to wake her. Roark comes to the entryway to greet us, closing his mouth as he sees her sleeping.
Pointing upstairs to her room, Roark waves us off silently, walking deeper into the house. Swallowing a yawn, I decide a nap isn’t a bad idea.
Lennon
Stretching, I feel entirely too warm. I’m sandwiched between Orion and Derek, and love it. Sighing happily, I turn and realize someone took my pants and shirt off so I would sleep better.
Smirking, I appreciate this, because they’re really damn hot. “Something funny?” Derek murmurs, eyes half open.
“You are, and how one of you stripped me for our nap,” I tell him.
“Hmmm, you rarely wear much to bed, because otherwise you sweat too much,” he says with a small smile.
Yep, this man knows all of my quirks already.
A shrill ringtone sounds and Orion grunts in annoyance. Reaching out, he plucks the phone off the nightstand as he sits up, pushing his hair out of his eyes.
Someone needs a haircut soon.
“I put this on the most annoying setting possible so we wouldn’t miss Jordan’s call,” he sighs, answering the phone.
“Hey Jordan, here’s Lennon,” Orion says, handing me the phone.
Also sitting up, I take the phone, drawing up the blankets as I fix my pillows to lean against. Derek slips away out of bed as I talk to Jordan on speakerphone.
“Hi, Uncle Jordan,” I say, the moniker easily sliding off my tongue. “Any news?”
“Hey! Can I just say that I’m really enjoying you calling me uncle?”he says, and I grin. We may have had a rough start with how I found out, but we’re finding our way. “My good for nothing brother was picked up outside of Rochester today while driving. The police apparently roughed him up, and while I have no idea why, I suspect Greg had something to do with it.”
