His eyes slowly panned over to the door where Anna stood with tears in her eyes. “I just wanted to help. Why does everyone always fight and hate me when all I want to do is help?”
Cap turned toward her. “Anna, is this?—?”
She didn’t give him a chance to ask her question, though. She just slammed her door on all of us, and flipped the lock for good measure. Well technically, I heard her flip three separate locks into place.
Three of them.
Who the fuck had three locks on their bedroom door if they felt fucking safe in their own goddamn home?
As far as I was concerned, it only proved my point.
“Is this true?” Cap asked as he whipped around.
I watched Charise and Doc help King to his feet.
Cap didn’t care, though. He just took a step toward the president of the Devil’s Legion. “Answer me, King. Is this true? Because you told me this was a secured safehouse. It’s the only reason why I ever agreed to bring the woman I love here.”
“I need to take a look at him,” Doc said.
“After he answers my question,” Cap said.
Doc bucked up for a moment. “Captain, with all due respect?—”
But, Cap just pinned him with a look.
One look.
That steely fucking look that shut all of us up.
“Answer me,” Cap said as he turned his attention back to King. “Are we in a safehouse? Or are we in someone’s home?”
“The fuck’s the big deal?” King asked through the pain I heard in his voice. “We were at Doc’s home before. The fuck does it matter?—?”
I growled. “It matters because?—”
Cap shot me that same look and it made me swallow my statement. But that didn’t stop him from continuing withKing. “I won’t have us fighting against one another when we’re supposed to be working together, but Brutus is right. We would have never agreed to this arrangement. The only reason why I agreed to using Doc’s place was because I know Doc. I know how he locks things down. I know how he operates.”
“You know me,” King said with accusation in his voice.
Cap shook his head. “Not well enough to put my woman’s life in your hands. I asked you for reassurances, and you gave them to me. And now, I’ve figured out that you’ve lied to me? How secure is this place, really?”
King spat back. “As secure as me and my men make it. You think I’d hang my sister out to dry like that? You really think that’s the kind of brother I am? The kind of man I am?”
“You’ve lied to us,” Cap said. “So right now, that’s the kind of man you are.”
Anna opened up all three of her locks before whipping the door open. “Take your petty spat somewhere else. You’re right. This is my home. And I don’t want you assholes in it a second longer. Find somewhere else to fight.”
Her door slamming closed made all of us jump.
A heavy silence descended over all of us. The women were wide-eyed at the end of the hallway as we all stood around trying to figure out who to blame for this nonsense. I hated it. I hated every fucking second of it.
“We should all get some sleep,” Cap said, making sure his voice was heard by everyone. “We’ll figure this out in the morning.”
“There’s nothing to figure out,” King grumbled.
“There’s a lot to figure out, like what the hell else you and your crew have lied to us about,” Cap said as he pointed at the man. “But, that’s a conversation for the morning. Doc?”
“Yeah, Cap?”
