“W-What are you doing here? You’re not meant to be here.” Patricia stutters out.

"Well, it looks like my surprise return was a good thing. I’m sure you wouldn’t have been brave enough to show your face otherwise.”

Patricia tries to roll herself away from Mama June, but she stops her with a foot to her stomach.

"No, you stay still. We’ve got some business to deal with shortly.” Looking up at Jasmine, she continues talking. “Would you like to explain why you thought you had the right to bring this bitch in here?”

“I-I. Erm. She wanted to see her daughter.” Jasmine stutters, sounding terrified.

“No. That’s bullshit; I want the truth.”

“Mama, I think I can answer that.” I say before Jasmine can speak. “My guess is that this is your newest game, right? Sera stopped your attack on me, and when your little game using Cam didn’t work, you came up with this plan instead? What I’d like to fucking know is why a brother walked in with you both.” I say, turning my attention to Lanky.

Both Jasmine and Lanky start to shift, no doubt hoping they can somehow get out of here. The thing is, that’s never going to happen. While we’ve been talking, other members have moved to surround our little group. They have no escape.

“Answer him.” Wrath angrily says.

Lanky doesn't, though; he actually tries to make a run for it. He doesn’t even get one step before he’s on the floor with a very angry Flame on top of him. Flame grabs Lanky’s head and pulls it back before smashing it into the floor. Knocking him out cold. Flame gets off him and shakes out his body.

“Someone get this fucker downstairs.” He grits out.

Rock is the one who acts; being a bigger guy, he has no problem lifting Lanky’s unconscious body over his shoulder and carrying him out of the room.

“Really babe?” Wrath asks.

“What?” Flame asks, sounding totally innocent.

“You’re fucking gay.” Patricia spits out from the floor. Sounding disgusted.

This woman seriously isn’t making her situation any better. Why in the world would she even voice any dislike for Wrath’s sexuality? Especially in her situation.

"Oh, shut your trap.” Mama June says, leaning down and smacking Patricia across the face. “It’s none of your fucking business. I for one am happy about this development, baby boy.” She says, looking up at Wrath with nothing but love in her gaze.

"Thanks, Mama June.” Wrath and Flame say in unison.

“Now. Can someone move this bitch downstairs where I can deal with her properly?” Mama June asks.

“You need to let me go. You won’t like what happens if you don’t.”

“You think Sabbatini is going to come in here and save you? Are you stupid? If he believed he could waltz in here and take Sera, he already would have. Instead, he sent you. He knows what happened last time he tried shit with me. If you didn’t know, it didn’t end very fucking well for him.” Wrath says.

Patricia’s entire body starts to shake at Wrath’s words. She fucking deserves to feel every ounce of fear she currently is. I watch as Eagle bends down and grabs Patricia’s arm, pulling her to her feet. Before forcing her to walk out of the room. He’s going to take her downstairs, just like Mama June wanted.

With Patricia and Lanky now gone, all attention turns back to Jasmine.

“You’re done, Jasmine. This latest stunt was too fucking far. Not only did you endanger Sera by bringing Patricia in here, but also Cam. What do you think would have happened if she got her hands on my son?” Wrath sounds livid.

“She didn’t want Cam. Just her daughter. Why shouldn’t I have helped her?”

“Are you stupid?” Sera butts in. “Patricia would have done anything to get her hands on me. Including using Cam as a bargaining chip. Why do you think that as soon as I spotted her, I had Wreck get him out of here?”

“No. She wanted to meet Cam for sure, but that’s only because he’s her grandson.”

"No, it’s not, but you believe what you want. I think I know that woman a little better than you.”

Before Jasmine can speak, Wrath does. “Jasmine I don’t care what bullshit excuses you have; you were fucking warned. You’re no longer welcome here, and sure as shit, you aren’t going to be seeing my son again.”

“You can’t do that!” She shouts.
