“I’m walking youto your door.”
“I can walk acrossthe hall—”
“Daisy,” hehissed. “I’m. Walking. You. To. Your. Door.”
I took a deepbreath and let it out. “Fine.”
He followed meacross the hall, limping in obvious pain, and I unlocked my door, entering thealarm code to disable it. “Will you please go to bed now and ice that kneebefore you do?”
“Yeah, baby, Iwill.” He smiled, kissing me gently. “Text me before you go to sleep.”
I shook my head.“I have a few things to do before that, so you’ll be asleep.”
“Text meanyway.”
“Okey dokey.”
“Lock up.”
“You have to getout of my doorway for me to do that, Huck.”
He chuckled.“Right.”
“Night.”
“Night.”
He kissed me onemore time, then I locked up and reset the alarm. Teagan had emailed me the linkto Huck’s video two hours ago and I needed to study it. Actually, what I neededto do was send it to my dad because this shit wouldnot stand.
Whoever did thisto him needed to pay.
And they neededto pay greatly.

“What?” Igasped. “You have?”
“Yeah, I saw ithappen live. I was watching the game the night it happened, honey.”
“Well, who thefuck is the asshole who so obviously took him out on purpose?” I hissed.
A deep sigh cameover the line. “Okay, so that’s what you’re askin’ me to look into, baby girl?”
“Yes. I wanteverything on him. Deep dive. And then I want to destroy him.”
“You know, youcanfind all this information out yourself,” he pointed out. “You don’t need me.”
I bit backtears. “I don’t know that I can, Daddy.”
“Afraid of whatyou might find?”
“That’s theunderstatement of the year.” I closed my laptop. “Will you filter for me,please?”
“Yeah, Ducky,I’ll do that for you.”
“Thanks, Daddy.”
