One of Sean

One of Hunter

I covered my mouth and read the police report with horror The man's wife reported that her husband owed Donald Saint money and that his nephews Sean and Hunter Saint had come to collect and had beaten him almost to death when he had no money

"I can't believe it," I said and shooksick at what I saw in the photos

"Believe it I want you to proain Heunderneath the pretty boy façade"

"I can't believe he actually beat someone up He hates that side of his family"

"Apparently not enough to stay clean," Spencer said "Blood is thicker than water, Celia It's ti he did as a kid made him and his brothers perfect for the protection racket that his uncle and father are involved in If you want to be a prosecutor some day, you have to stay away from people like Hunter"

I shooka bit dizzy that Hunter had been involved in this kind of thing He see to do with his uncle

"Stay away froree, I'll keep funding you here at Kirkland House I promised to fund you until you're twenty-one and I et control over your trust fund, you can do anything you want I want you to get into Harvard Law I'll even up your allowance so you can stop working You have to be at least Magna Cuet into Harvard Laith any certainty, so I don’t want you to focus on anything else—not work, not boys"

"I' "They're not boys They're men"

"In age, yes, but not in terms of maturity I don't want you to throay your life over some jerk-off"

"Hunter is hardly a jerk-off and you know it He's got an MBA He's going to boot camp to become a Marine"

"His father is part of the Ro money for them His uncle runs a protection racket Hunter can't escape his genes or his family"

"He's not involved," I said, angrily "Why can't you understand that Hunter's leaving Boston to get away from his family's bad influence?"
