All day I had to fight to get time with my wife and new babies because all these women, including Elena and her hen pack, are baby hogs.
Mancini and his wife showed up hours later. I’m
not sure how that relationship works, what with him being a murdering fuck and she being a FED but I didn’t ask.
We left the women in the house and headed out back for some privacy and there is where I learned what had happened.
Chapter 16
They were all set to come to my place because Elena had invited all the women to the surprise shower. Cierra Mancini was in the field and would be coming later than the others.
On the way here in differing stages, they got the call that Catalina had been taken and rescued and that Kat had gone into labor.
Mancini who wasn’t supposed to be here for another day at least had flown out after talking to Jared who’d told him that we had the asshole in our warehouse.
“I knew that you would kill him and I couldn’t let that happen. The cops would’ve had no choice but to look at you and I can imagine in that position you wouldn’t have been thinking straight. We thought it best that one of us take it from there.”
“We? Who is we?” I looked around at all the men gathered in my backyard.
“All of us!” Logan answered for all of them, which is pretty much what I suspected.
Mancini had made the decision to take point on this one and the others rallied around my family and I while he did his thing. No one told me shit, including Jared.
Now Mancini was standing in my backyard smoking a cigar like he hadn’t just fed a motherfucker to sharks.
“What about the other one?”
“Creed?” Law turned to our mutual friend with a grin.
“Don’t worry about him, he ain’t coming back.”
“Do you need cleanup or you took care of it?” Mancini asked. And people think I’m the one who’s fucked in the head.
“Dude, this is not my first time at the Rodeo. I have the best cover. I’m here for my wife to attend a baby shower. How could I possibly have time to get involved in this shit?” Murdering fuck!
“Seriously though Lyon, all we’re interested in is the fact that none of this can come back to you, you and your boys are accounted for.” Well there is that.
Conversation soon turned to my triplets and all the
pregnancies and what we as men were going to be busy doing in the next few months.
It was obvious the women planned to be there for each other during the time leading up to labor dates so we got out our phones and tried coordinating that shit.
Funniest shit I’ve ever seen. Grown men trying to calculate early labor versus full term pregnancies. I can’t even with this shit. I was still trying to figure out what the fuck Creed had done with the other asshole.
“I took him out to pasture.”
“The fuck that mean?”
“Do you know what lives in the woods and forest around this area?”
“Mountain lions, coyotes….Damn, did you hang around long enough to make sure?”
“Don’t ask me fuck stupid questions Colt. I didn’t spend all these years in the service for nothing.”
I guess that was my cue to stop asking questions. For the next half an hour I learned that these boys had everything covered and their reason for keeping me out of the loop was so that I knew nothing and couldn’t be implicated.
It was a good fucking plan all around. What I wasn’t expecting was Todd showing up at my door later that evening. Caitiebear had told him what happened with her little sister and this kid showed up at my door.
He was making it harder and harder to hate his ass. “Good evening Mr. Lyon, how are you?” He had flowers and teddy bears and a whole host of other shit in his hands.
Mengele saw him and came running. He hugged her and they had a conversation right there in my doorway that convinced me it wasn’t their first. Fucking kid was entrenched in my family.
He spent more than enough time with my wife who was all smiles and giggles, the fuck! Caitiebear had a permanent smile on her face and the women in my house had lost their fucking minds.
The guys were all with me on this one. The kid had to go! Of course Kat overheard me plotting to end his ass and copped an attitude. I need her shit.
“Colton, leave that child alone. He rushed here from hundreds of miles away to be with our family at such a time, the least you can do is be nice.”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.” Why don’t she take her post pregnancy ass back inside with the other women and take her nose outta my shit?
