“As soon as we can get bail posted. We are pulling all the strings we can, Hunter. You were trying to protect your girlfriend. I know a lot of men that would have done the same thing, truthfully, probably more.”
“Bail’s taken care of, Lexi. We just need to get the approval to get him out of here.”
“Are they bringing Charley in?” I glanced over at Martin as I asked the question. His arms were crossed as he leaned against the wall. His considerable bulk intimidated most people, but I knew he was a good guy. Where his sister was concerned, though, I knew I should tread carefully.
“Yeah, she’s on her way with an officer now. They didn’t want me to go get her because they didn’t want me trying to coach her on what to say.”
I scoffed. “Like you would have done that.”
He shrugged. “If it weren’t you sitting in that chair right now, it would be me. You just beat me to it.”
I grinned. “You should be out there waiting for her to get here.” I turned to look at the lawyer again. “Will you be with her in the room when they talk to her?”
She smiled. “Sure. I’ll go wait for her outside and grab a word with my husband.”
“Thanks, Lexi,” Damian said as she got up from the table and headed for the door.
“No problem. Tell Kendall I’ll call her tomorrow.”
“I will.”
Martin and Lexi both left to wait for Charley, and my boss took the seat across from me. “Sorry for the trouble, boss.”
“No problem, Hunter. He deserves a hell of a lot worse than a punch to the gut.”
“I know, but I didn’t mean for it to all come down on you. I’ll pay you back for the attorney’s fees.”
“Don’t sweat it, Hunter. I’ll give you the week off with pay to get your shit together, and I suspect there’s a Little that will need you around this week.”
I straightened up. “You know about Charley?”
Damian shrugged. “I didn’t until tonight. I knew if you went to jail for a woman, then she was important. And if you were planning any kind of future with her, she’d need to be a Little. I didn’t figure Martin would let you near his sister if you weren’t serious about her, either.”
“How the fuck did it happen so fast?” I dragged my hands down my face, frustrated that Charley would be in another room without me and they would question her about her asshole landlord.
“Sometimes it happens in an instant, man.” My boss smirked as he thought about his wife. “I knew Kendall was different the moment I met her, and when I kissed her, I was done.”
“I think Charley’s that for me.”
“You think, or you know?”
“I know.”
