Celia

I left the hospital and took a bus to South Boston where Saint Brothers Gy Emporium was located I hadn’t been there for four years, and felt a pang of regret as I walked down the street to the building Once upon a tiular basis to watch Hunter, Sean and Conor boxing, and once upon a tiht of talking I'd been in love with Hunter allin love and getting married

Noere like sworn enemies and it hurt to realize how far apart Graham and I had become from Hunter

I approached the entrance, a knot of anxiety into face Hunter – or worse, Hunter's dad Spencer's vendetta against the Saint family had led directly to the arrest of Hunter's Uncle Donny When the FBI came for him, Hunter's older brother Sean resisted, and he was shot by police

Back then, I watched the news reports in horror and knew at thatwith Hunter were totally dead There was no way he'd ever want to talk to ain Not after what happened to Sean

I walked into the gyreat deal of fear and reluctance, and almost turned away at the last minute, but Graham needed me to do this I took in a deep breath and steeled ht happen

The gy out on various pieces of equip a couple of fighters sparring I looked around for Hunter, but didn’t expect to find hier and so I went to the back, past the fitness equip to where the office was located

Down a long hall, past the washrooms, was the small, cramped office filled with old furniture It was like a relic froed since the last time I had been in the office when I was a kid and Hunter and Grahayot out and Graham was responsible for edto watch the two of them work out or spar Even the smell of old leather and sas fa of one so spectacularly wrong

The office was ehed, upset that I wouldn’t get the chance to at least talk to Hunter I saw a sticky note pad on the desk and decided to leave a e for him in case he came by later

Hunter, I was here to speak with you

Graham asked me to come by and talk to you

He needs your help
