“There’s shit going down here, Mitch. I don’t have time for this bullshit.”
“It’s not a choice. I’m sure he’d be there if he could.”
“Well, you can get your goddamned arse in here. I don’t pay you to be a nursemaid.”
The thought of leaving Finn unattended, especially while he was so ill, didn’t sit well with Mitch. He was stayingwhether Rocky liked it or not. “I don’t think that’s a good idea.”
“It’s not up to you,” Rocky snapped.
“What the—”
Fuck. Tread easy.
“Think about it. Someone took a shot at him on the weekend. Until you sort this crap out with the Brutes, you’re all sitting targets. Why don’t you focus on that and I’ll focus on doing my job. If I stay out here, I can keep an eye on Finn and make sure he’ssafe.”
Rocky mumbled something, but he didn’t outright argue the point. Instead he got the last word by issuing orders. “I expect you back as soon as he’s on his feet. He’s needed on the books. You keep an eye out and let me know if you see or hear anything suspicious. I’ve got a plan for the Brutes, so don’t worry yourself about that.”
“Sure, Rocky. I’ll take good care of him.” Mitch rolledhis eyes as he accepted Rocky’s directive, something he was bloody well doing anyway.
The instinct to take care of Finn didn’t give him any other option.
