“Fine.Ask a question get an answer and then I get mine,” he says.“Seeing as how I’m easy to work with.”

A ghost of a smile filters across my face.This bastard is about as easy to work with as the bureaucrats in Washington, he’s just a little easier to understand.

“The woman I met, is King’s sister.There’s no way she’d let him touch her and if he did she’d kill him or die trying to make that happen.So, my question is, why does King hate your boy?”

“As far as I know he doesn’t.”

“Bullshit.He was shot several times, left for fucking dead, his truck was torched and his woman and child are on the run.I’d say?—”

“He doesn’t really know Diesel and believe it or not my brother in there has no idea who King is.They fucked the same woman—not this McDaniels chick, in fact before she called me I’d never heard of her.”

“Then—”

“My turn.How did you find Rory McDaniels?”

“She called me.She managed to escape King’s house with her boy?—”

“That is not her child,” Crusher growls.

“She says he is, and it’d take an act of God to separate that little boy from her side.I got to warn you, I’m not even sure that would do it.The woman I met and that child have been through hell together and he trusts no one but her.”

“She’s protecting him?”

“That woman is doing more than that, and that’s all you’ll get on the subject of Rory McDaniels.”

“You really like her.”

“Let’s just say your friend in there was a lucky SOB to get her on his side before he bought it.”

“He’s not dead.I wouldn’t be putting him in the ground just yet, Agent Lodge.”

“Like I said, hope springs eternal.”

“Diesel will pull out of this for his son and when he does, if this McDaniels chick means something to him, he won’t let you around her.”

“I don’t think he’ll have?—”

“Let me clarify that.My brother has been fucked over by women again and again.If this Rory is half the woman you seem to think she is and my brother wants her,Iwon’t let you get within shouting distance of her.”

“Are you threatening a federal agent?”I ask, for some reason finding his response something to smile about.

“More like a friendly warning,” he shrugs.

“So noted.You going to ask your questions now?”

Just as I ask the question, a doctor comes in and heads straight to Crusher.

“I’m afraid I have some bad news,” he says and Crusher stands up immediately, his friend standing beside him and I can tell from the look on the man’s face, hope is slowly dying.

I hate it for him.I’ve seen this side of the coin too many fucking times to count—each time it sucks.

Knowing that this Diesel is leaving behind a good woman and a child makes it suck that much more.

“What did I miss?”Rebel asks coming in the waiting room an hour later.
