“You collected evidence against ainst your own family?”

Abby nodded “You wanted me to be hacker Don’t you remember? You created this little skill I have”

“But you’re using it againston me?”

“It’s all there, Cal And if so happens to me, or to one of them there are plenty of copies that can be discovered that will incriminate you You’ll be in prison the rest of your life”

He looked at her and then his eyes flicked to Deacon and Cole “Fuck”

Deacon collected the drive from the coffee table “We’ll take this as one of the insurance pieces that you aren’t going to release that story about Abby”

Cal turned his head, ignoring the three of them

“Let’s go” Abby feathered her fingers through Deacon’s strong hands and then Cole’s “I want to go home”

They followed her outside, closing the door to the compound behind them

Abby felt her knees buckle, but Deacon held her steady “I think you better ride home with me, sweetheart Cole can drive your car”

“Of course” Cole looked for her keys

He buckled her in the front seat as Deacon stuck the key in the ignition She looked at them “That drive is blank”

“What the fuck?” Deacon stammered

“I had to think of so It was all I could come up with”

Cole laughed so hard he almost hit the top of his head on the inside roof of the car “You are the smartest woman I know, Abby”
