❥ KNOX'S POV
The latest update from Elizabeth, the club's lawyer, came with positive and negative news.
On the bright side, the cops were no longer interested in Knox and Everett. With Elizabeth's help, their cooperation with the authorities and the evidence supporting their actions as self-defense kept them from landing any serious charges.
But despite her doing everything in her power to speed things along, and even with Everett and his testimony on their side, it would still take months—maybe longer—for Gavin and the member's trials to happen. Which meant they'd remain in jail until then.
Gavin somehow kept his spirits high. He called every day to let everyone know how he was holding up and that, even behind bars, he hadn't stopped working and making connections. Leave it to him to turn a jail sentence into a damn business opportunity.
Knox was happy Gavin was doing well, but part of him wished he could take Gavin's place because no man should miss the birth of their child. Regardless, Knox would continue to be there for Josie, no matter what.
But today, he's made plans with his favorite person.
"Shit," Knox mutters after spotting Gary's car in the driveway. He reluctantly parks behind it and exits his truck.
He hasn't seen or spoken to Gary since the day he showed up at the hospital begging the old man to let him see Everett. Not much frightens Knox. But having to interact with Everett's father again after everything that went down makes his palms sweat.
He steels himself, bracing for the worst when the front door opens, and Gary exits instead of Everett.
"Mr. Robinson, I—" Knox starts with an apology that ends with Gary's fist connecting with his jaw. He stumbles back, the impact shocking him less than the old man's strength. "I deserved that," Knox admits, tasting the iron tang of blood in his mouth.
"You're damn right," Gary's grits out. "I should've done it at the hospital, but I was too distraught thinking my boy might die on the operating table. Don't know if he told you, but he lost half of his left kidney, by the way."
Knox swallows hard, guilt twisting his stomach. "I can't tell you how sorry—"
"Save it," Gary says, pausing. "I thank you and your men for keeping him safe, and for getting him to a hospital that night despite the risks. Everett is a grown man. I've heard his side, and I can see how he got himself into this mess and merely met you along the way."
Knox remains frozen in place, unflinching, as Gary takes another step forward.
"Regardless, it's going to take more than promises for me to fully trust you with him and believe he'll never be put in another situation like that again."
"Respectfully, sir," Knox begins, "I've had brothers die trying to help keep him and your family out of harm's way. My own life was put on the line more times than I can count. But if you'd ask me if I would do it all again, knowing he and I would end up here together, then I'd tell you yes."
