Epilogue III
Isaiah
Seventeen Years Old
I sat on the back porch steps as I thought about how to share my news with my mom and dad.
Dad would be mad.
Mom? She would be livid.
My brother sat down beside me.
“You ready to tell them?” He asked.
I shook my head.
Zada came out of the house then and sat down beside me.
Then she said, “Whatever you need. We have your back.”
An hour later, over dinner, I said, “Mom? Dad? I have something I want to tell you.”
Ryder
Nineteen Years Old
I commended my brother for his choice.
Seriously.
I admired him.
And he was proud of me for mine.
Did you know that you can come up with insane cuss words in your head when you didn’t want to get in trouble?
Especially with your squad leader.
Zada
Twenty Years Old
I stood there as I thought about what I wanted to do.
On one hand, I could tell Dad.
He would take care of it.
I could tell Mom... and she... well... she’d go balls to the wall.
However, I just didn’t know what to do about it.
What I didn’t know was that the man had done something to another girl.
And that girl was the younger sister of a man named Preacher.
Who just so happened to be in the military as well as in a motorcycle club.
