Chapter （Cole）
**********
Cole
Rage.
Pure, unfiltered rage – that’s what I’m feeling right now as I hurtle down the motorway towards home. If I don’t get pulled over for speeding, it will be a miracle, but I don’t care. The only thing that matters is getting home to Lacey and Peanut, making sure they’re okay.
When I heard his voice over the phone, I knew…I knew he was there to do something terrible. He’s been watching and waiting for his opportune moment, when Lacey was alone without me, without the girls and our family. That little fucker knew.
I try dialling all of my brothers, Don, my parents, anyone, but no one is answering.
I slam my fist on the steering wheel. “FUCK!” Why won’t this fucking car go any faster?
My phone starts to ring, and I click the answer button on the steering wheel. “Lacey?”
“Since when does my name sound like Lacey’s? I mean, I know we’re both blonde, but…”
“Archie, shut the fuck up, please. Ted is at our house. I’m already on my way, but it’ll take me hours to get there. You need to–”
He cuts me off, “Already on my way with Don. We’re minutes away, Cole. Don’t worry, brother, I’ll make sure she’s okay.”
“Archie, if anything…”
“Don’t. Concentrate on driving, Cole. I’ll update you.” With that, he clicks off, and all I can do is uselessly drive back. I pray that they’re both okay.
