My brow cocks with impatience.
“Everly attended Yale with all of those guys. She enrolled while I was still in the military and had no way of knowing what she was up to. She wasn’t there long before I got home and found out. As soon as I learned she was in contact with that group, I drove up to get her and bring her back home. Except, apparently my dumbass for a sister fell in love with one of them. I threatened to kill them all. And she agreed to come back to Georgia with me. Just packed her shit as fast as she could then ran to meet me in my car. I got her back here, she stayed for maybe a week and then she was gone again. I’ve been chasing her ever since.”
Ivy’s story comes back to mind, her recollection of overhearing the governor claim Everly was at Yale for a reason.
“Why was she at Yale to begin with?” I ask, my curiosity getting the better of me.
Scott smirks, the expression pulling at a face that could be carved from stone.
“Not sure about that,” he answers, his arms crossing over his chest. “You’d have to ask John Bailey that question.”
Shane
It’s three in the morning, and I haven’t slept for one second of it. I’m too amped up, too pissed off, and if I don’t get out of this hotel room, I’m likely to start breaking shit.
My quick exit is blocked, though. Apparently, both Ezra and Damon are experiencing the same insomnia.
They’ve been parked on the couches since the family meeting ended, and I suspect it was by Tanner’s demand that they are camping out.
Every so often, I’ll peek out of my bedroom to see two sets of amber eyes sliding my way, a smirk on both of their faces.
I’d fight them.
If I suddenly discovered where Brinley was, I’d take them both out if they tried to prevent me from leaving.
It would hurt, and I’d most likely be limping my way out of the hotel, but I’ll get through any wall—human or otherwise—to get to her.
Pacing the floor, I’ve scuffed the floors to high hell, the soles of my boots slowly drawing a perfect circle in the large space in front of the bed.
I’ve got to get out of here.
Both twins stand to their feet as soon as I step through the doorway.
“I’m a prisoner now?”
With their typical eerie coordination, they smirk.
“Nah, man. We’re just waiting for you to stop playing little bitch in there, all getting in touch with your feelings and shit, so the three of us can finally leave and beat Scott’s ass.”
Irritation runs my tongue over my top teeth.
“Great. I’m game. So where is he?”
Their smirks morph into identical smiles.
“We might know in a few minutes.”
My posture straightens, the irritation I was previously feeling turning into something far more unforgiving.
“I think one of you needs to explain what the fuck you’re talking about. And when you’re done doing that, you’re going to explain how long you’ve known. After that, you’re going to tell me why I’m just now finding out about this and why I shouldn’t beat both your asses for not telling me immediately.”
Ezra chuckles. “As if you could.”
I lock eyes with him, not giving a damn that this man is known as Violence. “Wanna find out?”
A small shake of his head.
“Save it for when we have Scott in hand. Knowing that son of a bitch, it’ll take all three of us to bring him down.”
