Fox, however, was eerily quiet. I studied his face as he watched the screen. When the guy started undressing, I could have sworn he was going to lose it. But when he pulled off his underwear and pulled on mine, Fox pushed back from the table and stormed toward the door.
“What’s going on?” I asked in confusion.
“Oh, shit. This isn’t good.”
“What’s not good?”
Fox was already opening the door, but the man who laughed and joked about Funyuns was gone. In his place was a man that looked like he was about to murder someone.
Over underwear.
I rushed after him, but IRIS yanked me back. “Just stay here. I got this.”
“Got what?” I asked as he pulled out his phone.
“Tate, I need you to run interference for me.” His brows furrowed and he swore, spinning away from me. “No, I didn’t know you already left. It’s fine. I’ll take care of it.”
He hung up and started texting, but I was still lost. “What’s going on?”
“Fox is losing his shit,” he grumbled as he continued texting.
“Over underwear?”
His eyes finally met mine. “Fox doesn’t do so well with perverts like this.”
“Okay, and what does that mean?”
“It means I need to send someone to intercept him before he goes on a killing spree.”
My jaw dropped in shock. “Over that?” I pointed at the screen. “He’s a pervert.”
“And you’re Fox’s friend. Did you not catch onto that?” IRIS asked.
“I…I guess, but why would he kill that man over underwear?”
“Because he’s a sick fuck, and Fox won’t tolerate anyone hurting anyone close to him.”
“But I’m not hurt!” I argued, hoping I could somehow break through the insanity of what I was hearing.
“Not yet. But that man knows who you are. It’s as simple as this—Fox will eliminate him before this sick fuck can take things any further. That’s just the way it is. There’s no stopping him now.”
“Then why are you calling in reinforcements?”
“To deal with the aftermath.” He smiled at me, placing his hand on my shoulder. “I guess you’re officially part of the family now.”
IRIS turned and walked away, leaving me wondering how I would have made it into the family if it weren’t for the sicko trying on my underwear.

“He weighs a million pounds,” I grumbled as I dragged Cash’s body into his room.
“Just be glad you didn’t have to have him on your lap the whole way,” Kavanaugh complained. “Do you have any idea how traumatizing it is to have a man’s head that close to your crotch?”
Red swung his legs up on the bed as I tossed his body on the bed. He flopped sideways, his arms sprawled out as his face smooshed into the mattress. I cocked my head at his prone form, wondering if we should just leave him as is.
“What are we going to say when he wakes up?” Red asked.
