"Yeah, wellI changed my name, and Cobe ran off to Texas or some shit to join one of them Holy Roller communes Haven’t heard fro if I could locate our youngest brother after learning that I hoped so

"This is just fucking aweso with excitee fuckers together"

I pulled back, startled to hear hi so, when he’d learned to play the dru, if he was happy But he went straight to so like that

He slapped the bar top in front of me "Man, they put you in jail They knocked up Mercy They burned down our house Every bad thing that ever happened to us was because of the payback"

I shook my head, utterly confused "What do you mean, they burned down our house?"

Rocket snorted, rolled his eyes, and waved a hand "Oh, the sheriff and fire reen earth pardoned the they all had alibis, but I knowI know it burned because of them"

Horror filled one because-- "Are you saying the fire was arson?"

"Well, it had to have been, hadn’t it?" Determination and a sick obsession filled Rocket’s eyes as he leaned closer "Those bastards alanted us gone Well, they finally did it But there’s two of us still left Two of us to take theood"

I started to shake my head--the kid was batshit crazy--when Felicity appeared, only five feet away frootas Rocket turned slowly to glare at her with pure hatred, I opened et away from him because he wanted to do her entire family harm But he was my brother I didn’t want to believe he’d hurt her

So I nodded without saying a thing

She brightened "Cool I’ll go get ht back"

As she disappeared down the back hall, I was prepared to leap over the bar and tackle Rocket if he followed her But he didn’t Instead, he turned to pierce me with a look of absolute hatred

"So that’s how it is, then? You’re with theer at him "Don’t talk about her that way"
