His eyes are fucking wild,
“Tie Harvey up somehow,” I hiss to Leander.
Leander stands, completely calm. “Gimme your belt, Gray.”
Gray glares at Harvey, breathing heavily, then starts to undo his belt. I’m hoping he won’t start lashing Harvey.
Harvey is dazed and blinking. Who knows what the fuck is going on.
“Gray!” Daisy and Killian arrive in to the mayhem.
“You got him?” Killian asks Leander. “Tie him up.”
Hmm, seems like Gray and Killian both know something me and Leander don’t.
Fuck, I’ve got to check on Key; the shouting will freak her out.
I rush over to the shelter and find Keyara huddled in her den.
“What’s happening?” she whispers.
“There is an argument, but everything is OK. Can you snuggle down here? Try to sleep?”
She nods, but looks scared. I give her a hug. “Noodle, you know that we are all here for you. I promise you are safe. You’ve got me, Leander, and Gray looking out for you.”
“And Daisy and Killian,” she whispers.
“That’s right,” I nod.
“But not Harvey,” she adds, “I don’t like him very much.”
Yeah, join the club, kiddo.
Outside, Leander and Gray are tying Harvey to the trunk of a palm tree several yards away on the other side of the fire from the shelter. He seems to have regained his senses, because he’s yelling and screaming.
I hear a small whimper, and a hand slips into mine. “Is Key alright?”
My heart swells for Daisy. The girl is obviously in a terrible state, but she is still checking in with Keyara.
“She’s OK,” I say softly. “What’s going on?”
Growling, Killian whips his head around. “He tried to rape her. The only reason he didn’t was because he couldn’t get it up.”
I hear an agonized roar, and it takes a moment to realize it’s coming from me. I march toward Harvey.
Where shall I hit him first? A punch to the trachea, so he can’t breathe? Or maybe I’ll take an eye?
My fists flex in anticipation. That fucker, hurting that girl. As I get nearer, I can hear Harvey’s whimpers, but Gray is suddenly standing in my way.
“Rex, remember what you said. We kill him sober.”
“Yeah, but I can fucking hurt him now.”
“I just kicked him in the nuts,” says Leander. He has tears running down his face. “I wanted to cut his dick off, but Gray wouldn’t let me.”
Leander looks so young and so distraught.
Fuck, I’m the captain of this mess. I’ve got to look after them.
