I try to follow you there.
It's not about control but I turn back when I see where you go.
Are you going to age with grace?
Are you going to leave a path to trace?
But oblivion is calling out your name,
You always take it further than I ever can.

Chapter Six
Shamus
I walked down the hall to the living room where Roni, Mike and Chad were waiting. I had no choice but to let her run. I don't know a damn thing of what spooked her so bad, but I was trying to get her to talk to me and see me. I am the guy who would never force her or hit her, fuck! I was hell bent on making Mikey pay for this one though. All the damn secrets were getting blown the fuck open now.
“ Ever heard of a phone Mike?” I asked as I walked into the kitchen to get a beer.
“ Yeah trust me I just learned my lesson.” Mike’s voice had a note of disgust behind it and Roni and Chad both looked sick.
I walked into the living room even more confused because they all looked like they wanted to throw up. I needed to tread lightly here, I knew that now. I started with Roni first and gave her a hug before admiring her growing bump. “Congratulations beautiful.” I said kissing her cheek.
I looked to Mike and smiled a very knowing and cold smile. “You need to start talking.” I set my beer on the coffee table and pulled Mikey in for a man hug. No matter how mad I was for being in the pitch black dark with Cassa, I was still glad my friend was here to support me. “Two visits in less than twenty-four hours? Mikey tell me your not becoming a fan freak on me.”
“ I get what I want for free fucker.” Mikey laughed and looked at Roni with a wink who just rolled her eyes.
They both sat down across from one another and I walked to the fridge getting Chad a beer and scooping a wide awake and teeny tiny Noelle from his arms. “So what brings you by?” I asked and patted Noelle on the back before nuzzling her into my neck. This baby was all about the cuddles and not one of us bad ass rock stars could deny her, though Noah was the absolute worst.
“ Actually I was hoping you knew where Cass was.” Mikey gave a slight shiver, a dead give away that he was uncomfortable.“Guess you did.”
I didn't like this at all. I looked at Chad who hadn't touched his beer and he wasn't smiling. I sure as fuck hope they didn't come here for a lecture on my argument with Sass last night. I had been completely floored by the news of not only a divorce but a divorce to an abusive marriage. “Why’d ya need Sass?” I asked and my voice took a serious tone now that I realized something was up.
“ Cory got out on parole. Cass was supposed to make an appearance at the hearing and they said she never showed. He got out for good behavior.” The edge in Mikes voice was fierce and lined in hatred.
“ Cory was in jail?” I asked confused. I knew they were divorced and that the fucker had hit her, but I didn’t know shit about jail.
Roni and Mike looked at one another before looking back at me. Chad was up and at my side scooping Noelle into his arms before I could ask what the fuck they were talking about.
“ She didn't tell you?” Mike asked his voice laced with compassion and anger.
“ Depends on what we are talking about. I know he hit her the night my Dad wrapped his Ford around a telephone pole but that’s about it.”
Mike rubbed his hands down his face before he looked at Roni. “Jesus Ron, take the car and get over to her house and bring her back here.” Roni stood immediately and headed for the door.

I looked at Mike waiting for an explanation. “What the fuck Mikey what’s going on?”
The cracking voice was not mine. It couldn't be. I was cool. I was Shamus fucking James and my shit was together God damn it! I look to Chad because he has been at my side, every fucking day for four years. Mikey had loyalty to Cassa, well Chad Blake had loyalty to me.
“ Start talking fuckers or I go ape shit right fucking now. You two
