Things were pretty quiet for thecontacts for inforly quiet for a bunch of white supremacists, which I was pretty sure worried all of us
We were sitting around the kitchen table Monday afternoon, eating some sort of chicken bake Eli had concocted, when Forrest’s chair dropped down onto all four legs The noise got my notice, and when my head snapped up, I realized why he’d come to attention
Casper had stepped just inside the back door with his phone clenched in his fist, tension radiating from him in waves “Cam, Farrah,” he called “Need a word”
They were up and out of their seats ih he hadn’t asked us, Cecilia and I followed
“Rose and Mack are ,” he said without preamble once I’d closed the door behind us
“What?” Farrah replied, gaping “Together?”
“That’s what it looks like,” Casper responded “Went outside during one of Rose’s breaks at the bar and never came back in”
“Jesus Christ,” Cam snapped
“What do they know?” I asked
“Nothin,’” Casper growled “Haven’t heard a fuckin’ whisper”
“We need to get ho from her man to Cecilia “Are you ready to make the drive?”
“As long as I’,” Cecilia replied “I can sleep most of the way”
“We can follow you up,” I said,“More eyes and ears, just to be safe”
“Appreciate that,” Casper replied “We’ll leave in the ”
“We’re waiting?” Ca the question sound more like a pissed off statement
“Your sister is sick as fuck and she’s got a newborn,” Casper told hionna have to stop a fuckin’ ettin’ some sleep before we head out”
Casper and Farrah walked back into the house and Cecilia turned to Ca out at the sandy yard
“I’h “I know you’d rather be up there helping”
I bristled as Cam turned, his scowl so nasty I was surprised when Cecilia held her ground Before I could say anything, his face softened
“I’ht where I’m supposed to be, little sister,” he said quietly “Takin’ care of you We’ll all head up tomorrow, yeah?”
“Yeah,” Cecilia replied
Cam threw his arm over her shoulder and led her into the house
Jesus, solad to be an only child By the way Cam bitched about Cecilia, it was easy to assuuess the truth was never that si, was still solid He’d known just what to say to her
