He shook hi in a duffel bag, took a quick inventory of his knives and the flashbangs he always had on him and then made sure he had sufficient aoddaer with a crush on the cheerleader Yeah, he’d had his share of fantasies on those long nights in the cold with only his daydreaive a lance Ora double take at the hideous scar that ht effectively put a daot back to the task at hand
He secured the ankle holster before sliding the s into place and then put on the shoulder harness and secured the larger Glock He grabbed the duffel bag carrying his clothes and the case holding the ah-powered rifles One was a seh-powered scope he used for sharpshooting Anything else they needed would be on the plane in the weapons locker
He wasn’t sure what kind of trouble Eden Sinclair was in, but Ryker had sounded worried, and not much worried the Sinclair faht Raid, the oldest, was a seasoned cop and Ryker worked in private security, a smaller, less military version of KGI All his jobs were on the up-and-up Mostly personal security, whichKGI’s help for the trouble his sister was in Swanny would have thought that if she was in any kind of trouble, the family would close ranks around her and handle it on their own They were private that way Which only reaffirueness on the phone bothered Swanny He had a bad feeling about the whole daot there and heard firsthand as going on
He hurried back into the living roo and his own personal arsenal, which was similar to Swanny’s own They all had their personal preferences when it cauns, but they all adhered to the motto that many was sufficient but more was even better
If the zombie apocalypse ever occurred, they were definitely prepared The KGI coal--and illegal--shit that was housed behind the walls of the coe citizen Swanny had his own stash of C-4 and enough grenades to repel a sain to feel that kind of helplessness and fear He’d accepted the inevitability of his own death He’d even embraced it In his darkest hours, he’d prayed for it It shamed him now, but at the time, death was the ultimate freedom Escape from his dismal reality
Thank God for Shea, Nathan’s noife, who’d inexplicably reached out to hi to hi him and Swanny escape their captors and certain death And Grace Shea’s sister God, she’d healed hi healed him from injuries that would have slowed his and Nathan’s escape He’d begged Nathan to leave him To save himself And instead Nathan, with Shea’s and Grace’s help, had healed him Made it possible for him to soldier on, and they’d made it out of those mountains alive Not unscathed But alive nonetheless

His sex life had certainly suffered as a result, but sex wasn’t one of his priorities Not since co home alive He threw himself into his job His new family He shook his head He had no family Not until Nathan The Kellys and KGI had embraced him Marlene Kelly, the matriarch of the Kelly clan, had adopted him as one of her own, and she treated him just like he was one of her many children
Frank and Marlene Kelly had six sons, but Marlene had adopted others into her fold Rusty Kelly, the sullen teenager who’d broken into her hoe, a vibrant, beautiful young lady who had the world at her feet Swanny had no doubt she’d one day rule the world
And there was Sean Cameron, a sheriff’s deputy in Stewart County Also adopted into the Kelly fold and treated much like all Marlene and Frank’s other children It was enerosity
The farown and expanded Joe was the only unmarried Kelly, and he definitely heard about it frorandchildren aplenty and more on the way
And here in the one from a solitary existence with only the men he served with as his brothers And now he had the entire Kelly fao to the wall for him It baffled him, this unconditional loyalty
