“Come again?” I barked.
“Yeah, I get you.”
I nodded, “Good. Now, let’s get to work.”
I pulled my phone out and called Clutch as I climbed out of the ring.
“You kill him already?” he asked.
“How old is he?” I asked.
“Twenty. Why?”
“Good. I won’t go to jail for laying his ass out.”
“What did he do?”
“Degraded a woman,” I growled.
Clutch fucking laughed.
But not in a good way.
“Beat the shit out of him.” He said.
And by the time the first day was in the books, the boy, Flynn, was on his hands and knees puking his guts up.
No pain, no gain.
'Be the reason someone believes in good people.’

Chapter 4
Lila
My alarm blared at the side of my bed. I let out a groan and rolled to the side, hitting the button to silence it.
I sighed, then grabbed my phone.
I already had messages waiting.
Mom – I’m sorry it didn’t work out with Henry. But I did invite Joseph.
Me – Sorry, Mom. Can’t. Got plans with Madalyn and Cole tonight.
Mom – Oh, well, okay then.
And I knew she wasn’t bummed at all.
She had met Cole and Madalyn, and like everyone who had met them, fell head over heels in love with them.
And speaking of Madalyn.
I switched out of my thread with my mom and to the one I had with Madalyn.
Madz – Ready when you are.
