I don’t hit women, but I’m this close to strangling one.
First, she says nothing.
Then when she does, she downplays the issue entirely.
Every attempt at offering her protection is shot down, no matter where it comes from.
Ryan, the ex-boyfriend turned bestie? Nope.
Sammy, childhood best friend, and his husband Jamie offering up use of one of the rock star’s security detail? Declined.
Me, big brother, ex-Navy SEAL turned cop? That would be a big, fat no.
Even our father failed to make her see reason.
Get why I want to strangle her?
The most exasperating part is that she was able counter any argument we made by throwing the training I taught her in my face.
I’ve only known about it for a month, but to say I epically lost my shit when I found out it has been going on for eight months would be like me saying BUD/S was easy.
Maddey tried to mollify me by saying it’s only ramped up in the month I’ve been aware of the situation. Yeah, that went over as well as doing a HALO jump without a chute.
There’s only one person she won’t be able to charm. He is also one of only a handful of people I can entrust with my sister’s life.
The logistics of getting him here and making it possible for him to have the time off will be…complicated.
Good thing there are more than a few brass who owe my family favors.
Time to make some phone calls.
