Chapter 113

Havoc

H: Do me a favor, babe. Whatever you hear through the grapevine today, give me a chance to explain when I get home.

I wish I had been able to tell her what’s going down, what’s going to happen now that I’ve spoken with Brooks and gotten approval from the state. I wish I could have let her in on all of this, but I couldn’t. I couldn’t make her keep a secret, couldn’t let her feel any more guilty than she already does. I promised her I would take care of Jefferson, and that’s exactly what I’m going to do. This man will never have a hold over us anymore.

L: That makes me nervous, Holden. Please don’t do anything stupid.

H: I’m doing my job, Leigh, just don’t worry. I love you, no matter what you hear, I love you.

L: Doesn’t make me feel better, but I love you, too. I trust you with everything.

H: That’s all I ask. I’ll be home as soon as I can.

“We ready to do this?” Tank asks as the group of us suit up.
