Carlisle and Sheridan Campbell

"I think it's safe to say that we need to question the ones we have. We also captured one of Aurora's brothers and her mother's boyfriend, Jack. He's the leader of the group, basically."

"I know that already. And you didn't answer my question. Do I need to take over this little operation, or do you think you can get through it without anymore of my men being offed?" 

"You knew they were trained when we went into this, don't be so surprised."

"You're trained also. Or is she just better than you." 

"You should ask Rhett, he's the one she bested and it seems like they're better than quite a few of us, Diego included."

"I was... unprepared for how good she is. But that doesn't mean she's better than I am. She took down the men. She didn't take down me." 



"And you chose the men for that particular mission, knowing she'd be a challenge. Your stupidity cost us men we can't afford to lose." 



God how I wanted to just shove my knife in his stomach and fucking gut him right now. "Sorry. Won't happen again." 

"When would you like to question them?"

"Later tonight. Sherri's almost finished dinner and Cody will be by soon. Speaking of," I said and smiled over Rhett's shoulder at her as she came towards us. "Go see if you can get anything else out of them, then give it a rest for tonight. At this point, I don't give a damn what you do to them. I want answers." 



I turned around and smirked at her as she got closer. "Hello Cody." 

I smiled at them "Hey, how are you guys?"

"We're good. Dinner's almost ready. How are you sweetheart?" 

"I can smell it from here and I'm good, I've just been busy."

"Well come on inside, you can set the table," I said then went in.



I waited until he went in and the door shut, then put my hand on the wall to stop her. "You're still seeing him. Aren't you."

Rhett was really starting to creep me out these days. Following me into the woods and watching me with Chad, being one of them. "No, actually I haven't. I already told you that I just wanted to thank him."

"I hope you know, you can't lie to me. If you're not telling the truth, I will find out. Carlisle would be... very disappointed in you if you were caught out that way again. Especially with one of them."

"When exactly did you decide to be my keeper? What I do is none of your business."

"Everything is my business sweetheart. You would be smart to remember that." I winked at her then moved my hand from the wall so she could go inside. "Don't forget what I said. I'll be watching," I said then left with Dec to go back to the cellar.

"Fuck you." I muttered and went inside shutting the door a little harder than usual behind me. "Why do you even associate with those two?" 

"It's my job to associate with everyone here in the village Cody, you know that. I have to know everything that's going on, so I can make sure things run smoothly."

"I really don't appreciate the way Rhett has put himself in charge of what I do or don't do. He's been following me around and I'm pretty uncomfortable with it."


"Really? Carlisle, maybe you should have a talk with him."

"I already have. He's doing me a favor by making sure you don't get yourself in trouble. Don't think I don't know about you and that boy from the other camp." 

"You mean the one who saved my life? How awful of me to go tell him thank you." 

"After I strictly forbade any fraternization with anyone from the other camp. You went behind my back and disobeyed me. Of course I'm going to keep a closer eye on you. Or have someone do it for me when I have other things to attend to."

"I went to visit him once and that was to tell him thank you since Diego's actions almost got me killed in the first place. I don't want Rhett following me around, he's fucking weird. Tell him to back off." 

"Mind your tone, and your words, young lady. You are not going to tell me what to do. I make the rules around here, not you. Now sit down and eat your dinner." 

"You're not my dictator or my Father, I'm an adult and I'll say whatever I please. If you won't listen, I'll find someone who will." I turned away form him and stormed out of the cabin. I needed to find Darnell.


"That went well." I noted, sarcastically. "Really, Carlisle she has never given us any trouble the whole time she was growing up. We actually taught her to be respectful and kind so she went to thank him for what he did for her. She said she wouldn't go back and she hasn't. Put a stop to that boy following her around. Now."
