“You know what, fuck you all.”
The mood around the club is light, we’ve all been waiting to kick back and chill out. I spent the morning with Lana, taking advantage of the boys staying with Bonnie and JJ, kissing every inch of her body and then making her moan as I pounded into her body. I left her smiling and relaxed, to see her now has me shooting up to my feet, my heart pounding.
“What is it?”
“Cas, tell me Leo is in here with you.”
My first reaction is to look around. I haven’t seen him since last night when Bonnie picked him up.
“He’s not here.”
“JJ’s missing too.”
Pope stands and manages to squash her fear somewhat. “It’s okay, we’ll get our asses out and look for them.”
She nods and then comes over to me. The bar becomes a blur of movement, and I hold onto my old lady, promising, “He’ll be okay.”
It’s Willow’s Peak, one of the quietest towns in the country. But then again, I know all too well monsters can be anywhere.
“Go over to the main house, and I’ll go look.”
“Find him, Cas,” she pleads.
“I will.”
I walk her out of the bar and watch on as she heads over to the house.
Now she’s out of sight, I unlock the fear. If she were to see it, her worry would only escalate and the chances are, he’s just fucking about with JJ.
Brothers spread out and Ricky hollers my name, waving me over.
I jog toward him and he points over to the land behind the main house. Off in the distance, the two little shits are zipping around on their mini cross bikes.
“Go tell Lana while I go and kick his ass.”
The threat is empty. The sight of him squashes the fear of him going missing and then relief hits me hard.
I walk toward them and whistle to get their attention. Their laughter drowns my call and I bellow, “Leo!”
He looks over and guilt covers his face, along with JJ.
They bring their bikes to a stop and climb off. They push them over and I light a cigarette while I wait.
“What the fuck are you doing?”
“We’re just riding our bikes, Uncle Cas,” JJ tells me.
“Your dad will deal with you.” Looking to my son, I arch my brow. “Your mom thought you were at your Aunt Bonnie’s. You rode your bikes all the way here to the club?”
He drop his eyes to the grass and I snap, “Look me in the eye while you explain yourself.”
“We wanted to ride our bikes.”
“So you rode them all the way here?”
They both nod and though I’m a little impressed, I can’t let them see that.
“Don’t you ever do that again. You scared the shit outta your mom.”
