I stared at hi about When realization hit, I dahtened, and the pain was so fucking intense that I had to hold
“Fuckin’ Copper?” I asked for clarification I had to be sure that hat he was trying to tell me I had to know
“It’s the only thing that makes sense,” Will replied “Don’t know cause we couldn’t ask therab you Took Rose with ’em to keep you cooperative, but were probably ordered to leave her be”
The fact that they’d left Rose alone had confused the hell out ofthey knew I’d do whatever I had to in order to keep her safe I thought back to the shit they’d asked me about, mostly money and transport routes we used, neither of which I could answer I didn’t deal with clubed constantly because eren’t fucking idiots Realization hit —they’d just been fucking withtopussy had hired people to do his dirty work because he was too chickenshit to face me himself
Wait a second…
“Why couldn’t you ask?” I said in confusion “I only took one of theot there?”
Dragon and Will shared a look
“Found the one you took care of on the pool table,” Dragon said quietly, watching me “Other one was dead in the yard”
“Man, I never ued
Will’s lips twitched, irritating the hell out of me “Rose took care of the other one”
“Say what?” I said in surprise
“Used a pair of gardening shears,” Will replied
It took everything in me not to let my mouth drop open in surprise
“Stuck ’em so far into his eye, daon said proudly He looked atwomen”
I understood the pride because I felt that, too But I also felt concerned as hell for Rose Killing aa nor, and Rose was more sensitive than most—even if she tried to hide it
“Keep an eye on her,” I ordered Will
Jesus, I could feel exhaustion pulling ivento wear off
“We’re already on it,” he assured me “She won’t be alone while you’re in here”
“She know this was Copper?”
“No,” Dragon said firmly “Only me, you, and Will know Waited on you, see how you want to proceed”
I looked at him in surprise
“Brother,” Dragon said, “I ht be your president, but this was personal as fuck You tell me how you wanna do this”
“Rose doesn’t know,” I said, looking at her brother “She’ll blame herself and be all torn up about it”
