Chapter 355

Chapter 0355 “You want me to go up there and lay next to the women that has lied to me for weeks?” Jacob looked at me like I was st upid.

“When did I say that? Stop being st upid Jacob. You and I both know you can stay in another room. You can reject her or just get space. Believe it or not, you are not the most important piece of information we got. Your relationship isn’t even on my radar.

Sherry and Eleanor told us about a house in the woods. One that Cash and Vin would visit. She didn’t know for what but if there is information that could have saved Kristen or let us know what is going on now, she will be held responsible.”

“This went to s hit, fast.” Jacob put his hands on his head and kept pacing.

“Don’t do anything yet. Why don’t you pack a bag and stay in another room. Let’s find that house and figure out if it even means anything. Take a day or two and wrap your head around this.” Colt said simply.

“Fine.” Jacob put his arms down and looked at Colt. “This was f ucked up to tell me like this.”

“Would you have reacted differently had o told you in private? Or would you have stormed away from me and threaten Sherry to tell you the truth? That would have made you the bad guy in this situation. If Sherry was going to tell you, she would have. We had to force her to tell the truth and you say for yourself she still tried to lie.” Colt sighed.

“Going to get a bag.” Jacob walked away from us. Alec allowed him to pass. Jacob shut the door, maybe a little too hard.

“I confined Sherry to her room.” I told Colt.

“Okay but I would rather you not work here till this gets figured out. Between Zac and Sherry, it would be better if you worked from home.”

“We don’t have a guard there. How am I safer there than here?”

“She can work at my place.” Alec said.

“Um, school starts soon. I have too much stuff to do to be spending time in another pack. I need to make sure they are staffed and have the supplies they need. I’ll be in and out for the next two weeks.”

“Jasper just had a baby...” Colt said.

“I’ll stay behind and guard her. Jacob will need you to control him plus you know everything. That way, I am here for when you get back.” Alec volunteered.

“You sure?” Colt asked “Yeah. Kristen might even tag along.” He looked like it was no big deal.

“Great, you have guard duty when there isn’t even a threat on my life. Wear tennis shoes.”

Alec raised the corner of his lip. Was he trying to smile, if he was, this was very rare. “Yes, ma’am.”

“Great. That’s settled.” Colt sighed.

“I’m going to head home. Eleanor is coming with me. She doesn’t want to be around Sherry.”

“Can’t blame her.” Colt gave him a look. “Thanks, man.”

“Anytime.” Alec said as he walked out.

“I know this isn’t ideal but it would give me piece of mind. No one is more dangerous than someone that feels cornered. Truth is, we don’t know what she is capable of.”

“It’s fine. It’s not going to stop these project from happening.” I said, stubbornly.

“I would imagine not.” Colt laughed. “I have a surprise for you.” Colt said.

“Oh, what’s that?” I asked, curious.

“I got a call and Cassie’s house is ready.”
