I laughed.“Not this long, but it is fun to piss you off.”

As I was reaching for the towel, the phone rang.The loud shrill of a noise making me go on high alert.Every time that phone rang it left me shuttering.It was never a good thing.Especially with Wyatt still over there fighting for his country.My eyes immediately met Deacon’s and I knew we were both thinking the same thing.
Mom led the pack as everyone piled into the kitchen and just stared at the phone like it was a rattlesnake.“I’ll get it,” Deacon offered.
I watched as Mom closed her eyes then and clutched her hands over her mouth.The silence that filled the air was making me more nervous.Deacon hadn’t said a word since he answered and I never could read him that well, so I didn’t know what he was thinking.Scar walked over and squeezed Colt’s hand who looked as nervous as I felt for Wyatt.Dad stood in the back, looking as cool as a cucumber.
“Thank you, sir,” I heard Deacon respond to the caller.“Will do.”
