Victoria Pierce

"I'll check in with her when we get home, see what's up with her."

I nodded again. If she'll tell anyone she'll tell you.

"She learned a long time ago it does no good to hide things from me, I'm very pressing at times." I smirked.

I smiled and shook my head. Yeah I think everyone that's met you knows that all too well, I teased.

"Good, then it shouldn't take too much effort on my part."

"When we get back I'd like to really start making a home out that place. When I got back most of them we're still adjusting to everything and it's a lot to take in. Hope they'll feel better knowing Jasper and Cade are finished."

I nodded. Jamal too. I'm sure they will. What about Marco?

"I need to inquire about that son of a bitch when Victoria feels up to it. I gave him a fairly good ass kicking before blowing up his house though."

"He had some things to take care of, he has a daughter he wanted to see. We'll hear from him I'm sure."

I nodded. I hope he's alright.

"Me too. I think he is, Percy's tough."

I nodded. Yeah he is. We all are. Have to be, growing up the way we did.

"I'm happy that the little kids and the future ones have a chance at a childhood now, we never had the pleasure."

I nodded. Yeah me too. I never wanted my sister to grow up like that. I'm glad she gets to have a good life now.

"Me too." I smiled "I tired my best to give you some good memories of being a kid...I know watching me get the beat down in the barn wasn't one of them though."

"I've never considered you anything less than a brother, I'm sorry for taking off back at camp. I just love all of you guys and you didn't need to be around me at that time...I was pissy."

"I know, I just didn't want to put you all through it."

You should stop being so closed off. That's when we need to pull together, not pull apart. We needed you Asher, I signed to him, hating that I sounded like a dick, I wasn't trying to.

"You're right, never again. I promise."
