Byron

My nephew and I were the last two to slip out of the garage and leave town. The

others had kissed their wives goodbye this morning and slipped out throughout the

day to the meeting point. Every minute mattered in times like these, but so did

patience. If I were going stir crazy watching the clock, I doubted Briar was doing

any better; this girl just couldn’t get a break. Some guy named Beck was our point

of contact, and some lady named Misty was pulling all the strings. I locked up right

on time when Buck pulled in with Miranda on the back of his hog. This was a

problem.

“Can I help you with something, Buck?” He glanced around the yard at all the

projects.

“Where is everyone?”

“Left early, today’s projects are done,” I said with a shrug. “Now, is there something

you needed? I’ve got a home–cooked meal waiting for me at home, I’d best be

getting to.”

“Haven’t seen that bitch of a boss of yours slinking around town lately, where is she

at?” Miranda asked.

“No idea, she’s been working from home. Haven’t seen her since last Friday for

payroll, and I might add you might want to be careful how you address my boss, cuz

people around here are coming to respect her, don’t want to bark that bullshit up

the wrong tree,” I told them.

“Let me guess you’re one of those half wolf lovers? Ready to let just anyone from

the outside waltz right in here and steal business from local folks,”

“Well that’s a load of horse shit, because she didn’t take anything from anyone, we

were too backed up so our business shifted to yours, now she’s got us caught up. We

are reclaiming our original customers. You’re welcome for the temporary influx,” I

said as I started walking to my car. This had Clyde spelled all over it. “Not to

mention half of the ones coming back do nothing but complain about your piss

poor attitude and how this one hits on anything that moves,” I said, pointing to

Miranda.

“Maybe you should take some notes from Briar and stop being a home wrecking

slut and get your hands dirty another way.”

“You’re such a fucking liar,” Miranda rolled her eyes.

“Watch your mouth, Byron,” Buck growled.

“What are you going to do, Buck? It’s the truth, she’s always trying to take things

that don’t belong to her. And you all act like she’s some innocent bystander always

being wronged. The truth is, she manipulates all of you, probably because she’s

putting out. Heard Briar made her submit. She needs to learn to stay the fuck

down.” The truth seemed to make them angry, good, that’s what I wanted. I wanted

to cut to the chase.

“Why do you wanna know where Briar is?”

“Clyde, sent us to check on Carter, figured he’d be with her,”

“That’s funny coming from him, thought she was Carter’s job.”

“He’s not answering,”

I shrugged, “Maybe they took a day trip, those two had a falling out, perhaps they

worked it out,” I said, just to get under Miranda’s skin.

“Besides, that man is entitled to step away from those kinds of duties now,”

“What do you mean?” Miranda asked, looking for details.
