Me
You know I’ll be there.
I hesitated, wondering how the fuck to lay this out when I’d broken one of our rules. On top of it, we didn’t talk Sovereign business on this thread. We did our best to keep it to our secret meetings. But I needed to get this shit out.
Me
Also, need to let you all know that Unit B is occupied.
Took all of three seconds for the shitstorm to hit land, texts firing in on top of each other.
Kane
The fuck do you mean, Unit B is occupied?
River
How am I just fucking hearing this?
Otto
You stumble on someone who needed help?
Cash
Who? Give me the name.
Blowing out a heaving sigh, I ran a flustered hand over my face before I responded.
Me
No need to freak the fuck out. Came upon a small accident on my way back from the city yesterday evening. A woman, her two-year-old son, and her elderly grandmother. Car’s jacked, and they needed a place to stay. They rode in with me and I set them up here. It was the only unit available that could fit them all comfortably.
Cash
Those units are reserved for Sovereign business only.
Cash was one hundred percent right. I hadn’t been thinking clearly last night. But maybe I wasn’t thinking clearly then, either, since my teeth were grinding as I pushed through their disapproval.
Me
Need to get the clear that they can stay there until we get this shit with their car sorted.
Kane
We?
Leave it to Kane to pick up on it.
Me
They’re stranded without a car in a town they don’t know. Of course, it’s a we. Gonna see to it that they get things taken care of appropriately.
Otto
Ah, now I see what’s going on here.
