Incapable | Colby Brock

Chapter 13: Things We Shouldn't Do

I watched as my dad's body was taken out of the house. 

Once the blood was cleaned off of his office desk, Colby and I went in. He shut the door behind us.

"What happens now?" Colby asked. He was looking at me like I was about to break.

I leaned on the edge of the desk and looked up at him. "No clue."

"Are you gonna take over?" 

"I don't know. Maybe. I have a meeting with the higherups later. Will you be there with me?"

"Yeah. Of course. I am still your bodyguard after all." He slowly walked over and pulled me into a hug.

"I'm okay."

"No your not. I know you. You don't have to put up a front around me." He pulled back and looked at me.

"I don't know how I feel. I hated him Colby but he was my dad."

"We'll find whoever did this," he assured me.

"Yeah. We need to get out of this house too." People know where we live. We can't risk staying here.

"You need to call a meeting and address everyone. I can get them together."

"Please do."

I left my dads office after Colby and headed to the conference room.  I stood in front of the familiar long table. I wanted to cry but I didn't want to look weak. I was wearing my jeans and hoodie still from yesterday. I brushed my hair out with my fingers while I waited.

Everyone slowly started coming in and quietly took a seat around the table.

Colby came in last and took the seat next to where I was standing.

"Ok." I took a deep breath and looked around the table. "Obviously a lot is going to change. I will learn more later this afternoon. Until then, I want to assign someone to look for a new house and someone to start looking into who is responsible for this.

"Are you taking over?" Alexandria asked me.

"I'll know more later. Elijah, Chris, and Ella I need you to start looking for a new residence. Something safe, gated, not too close to here, big, and somewhat isolated. Andrew and Reggie can you board up the broken window and clean up the glass? Alex, Sam, Brennen, start investigating who did this. Colby will be in charge of that so report to him. Kat, Lili, Jake, Tara and Devyn can you do inventory and make sure nothing else is broken or stolen? I need that done by noon. Everyone else go rest."I nodded to everyone and left the room. Colby followed me. 

"Im scared," I admitted to him once we got to my room. He sat next to me on my bed and held my hand.

"I'll always be here."

"Your confusing."

"How?" 

"Nevermind." I broke eye contact and looked at our hands.

He smiled at me when I looked back up. "Your cute." See? Confusing.

I leaned closer and kissed him. He pulled me onto his lap without breaking the kiss.

There was a knock at the door. I quickly got off Colby's lap before yelling, "who is it?"

"Sam. Someone called to say the meeting is at 12pm."

"Ok thank you."

"Come back here." Colby grabbed my hand and pulled me back to him.

"We shouldn't do this," I told him.

"We tend to do a lot of things we shouldn't do."
