Hunter shook his head "I can't, but he's a piece of work"

"I already know that," I said ruefully "Graha if you're asking me questions about him"

"If I do, I can't say what I'm really sorry about all of it," Hunter said, his voice soft, his eyes soft as well "You and Graham… you both suffered so much all those years It must have been hell"

I lifted a shoulder It was hell, but it was normal for us when Spencer took over

"I rebelled, and Grahaood older brother and protect ot him in more trouble Spencer doesn't like his authority to be questioned"

/>"I guess that's why he wants to be the authority What a fucking bastard"

"That he is" I sighed "So, why is it that the first thing you ask when you co away for a week is a question about Spencer?"

"I just know things," Hunter said "I'll tell you when I can It's about his past, before he met your mother When he lived in Alexandria That’s really all I can say"

"All right," I said and leaned back, watching him He seemed preoccupied

Then, he stood up and shoved his hands into his jeans pockets "Well, that's really all I wanted to ask you other than how Graha"

I took in a breath and exhaled "Pretty well, all things considered He's going to be in rehab for a feeeks Then physiotherapy for a while He's really thankful that you paid off his debts, and wants you to know he'll try to pay you back when he's back on his feet"

Hunter nodded "Tell him not to worry about it If and when he can pay et better That’s all I care about"

I looked at hioing through the motions "That's nice of you, Hunter I know he's really relieved that he didn’t have to go to Spencer Not that Spencer could have paid off the debt, but you knohat I mean"

Hunter nodded He glanced around and sighed "I better go George will be with you tonight If you need anything, he can help you"

"Thanks," I said, but of course, I didn’t really feel all that happy having to be a prisoner of the safe house
