My extra key fob.I gave it to Eagle several weeks ago when we were working on the ranch and he had to run into town for some supplies.
Fuck.
I never got it back from him.
But if Eagle saw the cocaine and wanted it, a locked door wouldn’t have stopped him anyway.He would’ve broken the window.Which would’ve set off the alarm, and that would’ve alerted me.
Damn it!
This trulyismy fault.
Fuck.
This ismyfailure.
I wasn’t there for Eagle when he needed me.
And I didn’t get rid of the coke because I was too focused on Daniela and her problems.
And now?
My brother lies in a hospital bed with only a fifty percent chance of survival.
If he doesn’t pull through this…
If my brother dies…
His blood is on my hands.

DANIELA
An hour later,Vinnie and I are back home.Robin ended up coming with us.
Raven stayed at the hospital with her mom.
I’m feeling like crap.
“You okay?”Robin asks, after I’ve said hi to Belinda and sent her back to Natalie for her lessons.
“It’s just a lot to deal with,” I say.
She raises an eyebrow.“So… You and Hawk…”
“What do you mean?”
“Come on, Dani.It’s written all over your face whenever his name comes up.”
I sigh.“You really are Raven’s twin.She said the same thing.Said she saw it in my eyes.”
“Yes, well, as much as Raven and Idon’thave in common, we do seem to be on the same footing when it comes to our intuition.”She smirks.“So spill it.”
I bite my lip.“I’m not sure what there is to spill.”
She smiles.“Well, if you had to pick a Bellamy, Hawk’s one of the best we have to offer.He’s a good man.Probably the best man I know.”
My cheeks warm.“He is.I mean, I really don’t know him that well.I didn’t know he had a middle-child thing going.I was an only child myself.”
