Chapter 30

Lug Nut

After I made sure Ailee was upstairs I turned to Ace. We have seen plenty of violence in our lives. Hell, Merigold has regularly beat the shit out of the skanks. And it has never bothered any of us. I like knowing the ol’e ladies can defend themselves. Considering two have been attacked. But Ailee took it to a new level. She tortured Deb.  I needed to make sure A e was good with what we saw. I can’t imagine it was easy watching his daughter inflict that kind of beat down.

I see Finn, Callen, and Viper standing near Ace talking. Finn and Callen can answer any questions Ace and Viper may have. My job is to make sure Ace doesn’t use this as an excuse to walk away from Ailee. I place my hand on his shoulder “  You good, brother?”&nbs
