together but life is what it is. Jeremy got hurt and I
went home.
    “I'm glad I can help man. How are things?” He
says as he watches me.
    “I need to get out of it man. I can’t do this
anymore. I mean I know what I am and what I do but I have family.”
I say nodding towards the truck where everyone is waiting. I look
back at Jeremy as he nods.
    “Well I am your family too man and we stick
together. You had my back overseas and now I have yours. I got some
guys on their way to roll with you too for backup.” Jeremy says as
I smile at him.
    “You’re a good man Jeremy.” I say as I turn
to go get the others out of the truck. I walk over and open the
back door and let Nina and Josie out as Bradon climbs out of the
front. I grab Nina’s hand and pull her along with me over to meet
Jeremy.
    “This is my girl Nina.” I say as Jeremy
smiles and extends his hand to her.
    “Never thought I would see the fucking day
man. What the hell did you do to him?” Jeremy says smiling at Nina
as she shrugs and smiles back. Bradon walks up with Josie and Josh
and stands next to me.
    “This is my brother Bradon, his girl Josie
and my nephew Josh.” I say as Jeremy looks over at them and
nods.
    “Now You I know about. I'm glad to meet some
real blood of Cad’s man. I hear you are a good man.” Jeremy says to
Bradon as he looks over at me.
    “I hear the same about you. Thanks for
helping us out.” He says as Jeremy nods his head.
    “Well let’s head in and I’ll show you ladies
where you will be staying and don’t worry boys I will take goooood
care of them.” Jeremy says laughing as I slap the back of his head
and he laughs harder. We follow Jeremy in and he shows us around as
the other guys start to show up. Jeremy introduces us all and a few
I know.
    “So do we want to go over the plan?” Bentley
asks. Bentley is a guy I knew overseas too. He’s a tough
person.
    “Well it’s pretty much like this. My dad is
using me as a fall guy. I'm not taking the ass of whatever he is
planning. From what we could find out he is trying to take out his
old associates and take over their portions of the operation. These
are guys he has known for many years. Why he wants to take them out
is a question I have no answer for. I know I took out 2 of the 4
already before I found this out. I need them to be safe while this
plays out. He called me and I took it as a threat. I don’t tolerate
threats.” I say as Bentley laughs and I look over at him.
    “That part I know.” He says as he pulls his
pant leg up and shows us a scar on his leg.
    “What the hell?” Bradon says looking around
as the guys laugh.
    “I threatened your brother once and he shot
me in the fucking leg.” Bentley says laughing and I give him a sly
smirk and shake my head.
    “That was years ago man get over it.” I say
laughing. We finish talking out the plan we have in place and then
I want to talk to Nina again before I leave. I stand and grab her
hand as I lead her down the hallway to what will be her room and go
in closing the door behind me.
    “You are really doing this then huh?” She
says as I walk over and sit on the bed.
    “I have to. I don’t see any other choice.” I
say as I pull her over to me. I hold her there for a second before
she starts to speak.
    “I need to tell you something before you
leave.” She says as I pull her into my lap.
    “What is it?” I say and she looks nervous.
What the hell is going on now?
    “I wanted to tell you before but I didn’t
know how…. I mean we have only been together for a little while
and…”She says as she looks everywhere but at me. I don’t know what
she is trying to get at.
    “It’s just that….” She starts and stops
again. I reach up and grab her face pulling it to mine. I kiss her
hard because I want her to know that she can say whatever she needs
to say to me.
    “Tell me.” I say softly as she swallows hard
and looks at me,
    “I'm… I'm pregnant.”
