Page 82 of Sadistic Retribution

“I saw it all. What...?” I clear my throat. “What now? The six boys know what their fathers are involved in. That leaves the Director. And my sister...” I shake my head to clear it. “How is Mav after that?”

Jax exhales on the other end of the line. “Maverick is dealing with it well. I expected him to go vomit afterwards, but he held his composure. He was made to eat... what he was bidding on.”

I shiver, goosebumps sprouting on my arms. “That is... God. there aren’t words. Tell him I said thank you.”

“Will do. Once everyone is set, I want all of you to toss the hell out of Augustine’s office. And Harris? Don't leave without concrete facts and evidence.”

“Understood. When can I tell them about you?”

“Once you return with what we need, I’ll talk to you about it then. I'm sure you understand the risks involved.”

“Of course I do. We'll be very thorough. Thanks.” I disconnect, sitting down to develop a plan.

I’m deep in thought when my regular phone rings. I pick it up, glancing at the unknown number. I doubt it’s Jax and answer it tentatively. “Yes?”

“Hello, this is Nurse Goodman from Saint Mercy Hospital. Is this Hunter Harris?”

The fuck? “Yes, what is this about?”

“I’m calling regarding your father, Liam Harris. He’s here, under our care. He doesn’t have much time left, Mr. Harris. I'm so sorry for the grim news. He’s asking for you. You may want to get here as quickly as possible.”

My jaw almost hits the floor. My father. I thought the bastard was dead, along with my mother. Why is he asking for me?

“Look, I haven’t spoken to that man in many years.”

“I understand, Mr. Harris. I do feel you should have this last conversation with him, though.”

“Where are you even located?”

“In Millburn, on the north end.”

Fuck. That’s not far; but I do not have time for this. Still… I have an odd feeling that if I blow this off, I'll regret it later.

“Fine, send me the address by text. I'll be on my way shortly.”

“I’m so happy to hear that! I'll let Liam know.”

I hang up, my body shaking. I let out a loud sigh, calling Jax back again.

“Hey, I got an unexpected call from a hospital in Millburn. Apparently, my father is dying and wants to see me.”

“Go ahead and take care of it. We can hold down the fort in the meantime.”

“Thank you,” I respond before hanging up. I pull up a text chat next, inputting everyone.

Me: I am sorry to do this right now, but I got a call from Mercy Hospital in Millburn. My father is there and dying. He wants to see me. I'm going to see what he wants.

Purge: All good, I’ll keep working while you’re gone.

Synn: Go, we’ll be fine

Trikk: We got your back bro!

Razor: Yep, no problem

Ghost: Okay

Frost: Good luck!
