Chris was pissed, beyond pissed actually For the past teeks he’d been stuck in Chicago helping take down several large nests of va kids After teeks of planning, fighting, and living off adrenaline he desperately needed his sleep Everyone in the fa ot at least twelve hours of uninterrupted sleep Just like everyone knew not to bother Dad until after he got in a long shower and four hours with Madison
They weren’t rules to be fked with
The last time someone came between their father and a shower and Madison was three years ago They’d just pulled up to the house after four long weeks of hell in Mexico During the entire two hour ride home from the airport Ephraim absently scratched at the phantom crud he felt all over his body The tieon still haunted hi hot showers a day or he was one cranky Pyte
Chris had barely thrown the Jeep into park when his father jumped out of the car and bee lined for the shower and Madison, as probably already in the shoaiting for hi that moment to approach hied to this day when he thought about what his father did with those pa, Joshua headed downstairs using six years as the state’s top high school and college Cross Country runner to his advantage byit down to the foyer before Chris could blink and headed towards the dining roo his pace, Chris put a hand on the second floor railing and propelled hi twenty feet bellow and mere feet from his prey Without any pause, he took off after Joshua who had the good sense to stop laughing

"You bastard!" Joshua’s screah pitch
"Next time let me sleep," Chris said, and just to ain, causing Joshua to screairl
A throat cleared in front of hiht you to see, Isabella," a familiar voice announced
Oh…shit
Slowly, ever so slowly, he looked up and sed, hard The first thing he saas his grand oak dinner table The two priests standing behind her lookedwith the Willia in a rectory
He frowned as his gaze landed on a se Sentinel males who looked completely bored His eyes auto a few feet away fro really pissed off
