He shrugged and didn’t reply.
I already knew who. Had to be my sister. I glanced at Briget. “This is Legend by the way. Our MC doctor. He’ll be coming with us.”
Briget’s scowl dropped as she stared at him. “Ok, so I can see why she wants to cross that line.”
I chuckled. Apparently, Briget already knew about this. Then I paused. Did she think he was hot?
Legend stared at her in confusion and opened his mouth to ask what she meant.
Raising her hand at him, she cut him off, “It is nice to meet you, but don’t ask.” She then marched away.
Apparently, she wasn’t interested in him all that much as she strode away from us both. I didn’t pause to think about the pang of jealousy I felt for a few seconds. Because that was certainly a new feeling for me. I also shouldn’t have been surprised by her just up and leaving, but I was. “Wait a damn minute, where are you going?”
“To find your brother,” she called to me over her shoulder, “I’m not going to Texas!”
I took my cell out and swiped the screen. Tapping Liberty’s number, I followed Briget down the hall.
Legend followed me.
“Yeah?” Liberty answered the call. “This is not a good time, baby bro.”
“Where are you right now?” I asked him.
“In my room with my woman, so whatever it is? Laters.” He ended the call.
I shook my head. The dude was always so difficult to deal with. He didn’t even give me time to warn him that he was being tracked down.
All the while, Legend and I kept following Briget.
I swiped my phone shut then noticed we were actually heading to Liberty’s room, so I called out to her, “Um, Briget?”
Not responding, she halted at the door to pound on it.
Legend and I stopped in the hallway behind her.
Briget just kept on knocking.
I glanced over at Legend.
Leaning in close to me, he whispered, “Is this your girl?”
I nodded.
He chuckled. “Well, good luck with that, brother.”
The door finally opened to reveal a disgusted looking Liberty, dressed in sweatpants and no shirt. “The hell—”
“Why are we going to Texas?” Wasting no time, Briget cut him short.
Liberty stared at her and replied, “Wow. You could have called me instead of trying to break my door down, ya know?”
Briget didn’t back down or respond to that as she rephrased the same question, “Why do we have to leave Louisiana?”
Liberty sighed and replied, “There are at least two reasons. One, Deacon would have trouble finding us there and two, we will be safer at the Requiem compound.”
Briget stared at him. “So, you are making this into a trip home?”
Liberty paused at this then he laughed. “Yeah, I am. And that brings me to reason number three… Belle will get to see where I come from.”
