“Do you understand me?”Dutch demanded.
He sounded like a little kid when he answered, “Yeah.”
“Will you come with us?”Dutch asked.

Meanwhile…
As Dutch was talking to CarlyleStephens in Tack and Tyra’s living room with a bevy of Chaos brothers andNightingale men around him …
Georgiana stood out in the chill air on thedeck of Kane and Tyra Allen’s house.
She was not the least surprised when Keely Ironside joinedher.
She didn’t look at Dutch’s mom when she asked, “He okay?”
“Kid’s been through the wringer but think he’s tough.”
She gave Keely her attention at that.
“I wasn’t talking about Carlyle.”
Keely’s eyes fell on her.
“Do you know what’s going on with my son?”she asked.
“Yes,” Georgiana answered.
“You’re not going to tell me, are you?”she asked.
“No,” Georgie answered.
“Can I trust you have him?”she asked.
“Absolutely,” Georgie answered.
Keely Black Ironside stared at Georgiana Suzanne Traylor.
Then she said, “He’s always been very serious.”
“Please don’t share with me things Dutch would want to tellme himself.”
