#Chapter34

My bloody Valentine

With everything that had been going on, we forgot about Valentine’s Day. It’s not that we wanted to or chose to. We were so preoccupied with the unknown threat, the Frazier family, and the Santiagos.

Ace brought in some more people to help, including his son-in-law, son, and nephews. I was coming downstairs when I heard the doorbell. I answered to see Zack, Tony, Sean, and Lucas.

/"Hey, padre,/" I said, shaking Lucas’s hand.

/"Hello, my son,/" Lucas said, placing his other hand on mine only to earn an eye roll from the other three.

/"Where’s Ace?/" Zack asked.

/"He’s in the kitchen. Follow me,/" I said, heading to the kitchen.

/"Yo, what’s happening, pops?/" Tony asked Brax.

/"My foot up to your ass,/" Brax said.

/"Why are you late?/" Ace asked.

/"Traffic,/" Sean said.

/"Traffic, my ass. We had to grab this one from some chick’s house he was banging,/" Zack said.
