“Well, her tits are obviously a solid C-cup, she’s got a tiny waist and an ass that bounces when she moves. Jesus, she’s hot as fuck.”
“Okay, that’s enough,” Doc said, and pushed the laptop closed.
“We need him to watch the whole thing,” Rabbit pressed.
“Fuck me,” Doc said. “I don’t want Jenae exploited.”
“Sorry, man, I get it,” Wrath said. “I’ll keep my thoughts to myself.”
Doc removed his hand and Wrath opened the computer again, firing up the video. He kept the sound up and I cringed hearing Jenae sobbing quietly in the background while the asshole grunted as he fucked her.
Jesus, I couldn’t wait to get my hands around the asshole’s neck.
“This is obvious proof she wasn’t enjoying any of that,” I said, unable to continue to listen.
“Yeah,” Doc agreed. “But she’s scared to death to go to the cops because Gary’s threatened to kill Raquel.”
My blood boiled. “He’s threatened Raquel?”
Doc sighed. “Yeah.”
“Way to bury the fuckin’ lead, Doc,” I bellowed. “Jesus Christ!”
“She’s covered.”
“Yeah, I know she’s fuckin’ covered.I’vegot her covered,” I growled. “If this guy so much as sneezes in her direction, I’ll rip his dick off.”
“I’ll help you hide his balls,” Doc said. “But we need a solid plan so we can figure out how to solve this with no blowback.”
“I’ll tell you what we’re gonna do.I’mgonna drive up to Denver and deal with it.”
“Has Jenae told your dad what’s goin’ on?” Rabbit asked.
Doc shook his head. “Gary’s threat extends to my dad as well.”
“Okay,” I said. “Road trip to Denver. Tomorrow.”
“Yeah,” Doc and Rabbit said in stereo.

I dropped Raquel at class the next morning, glad it was a full day of school for her, then I met up with Doc and Rabbit, riding borrowed bikes. We headed up to Denver, making it in less than forty-five minutes, and following the GPS to Gary’s condo in one of the downtown high rises.
We arrived to find the lobby empty. We’d expected a doorman, but no one was around, so we took the opportunity to grab an elevator and make our way to Gary’s floor. I’d kind of hoped Doc would be able to help guide us, but he hadn’t seen his uncle in fifteen years, and had never been here, so we were all flying blind.
Stepping into the tenth floor hallway, we approached number 1012, finding the door slightly ajar. I turned to face Doc and he nodded, indicating to go slow. We all pulled our guns out of our holsters and inched through the door, finding the condo in disarray, and a blood trail leading from the kitchen. We followed the trail and pushed into the bathroom. Gary’s lifeless and bloody body was sprawled out on the floor, a man standing over him with a hunting knife.
“Shit,” Doc hissed. “Dad?”

Raquel
I walked out of class to find Aero waiting for me in Sundance’s truck. I sighed. “Where’s Orion?”
“He had shit to do.”
“And my brother?”
