If There's Revenge, There's War: Book 2

31. Welcome to Texas

Andy's P.O.V:

I agreed to Atticus' deal. He set me free as I went to look for Jensen.

"JENSEN!" I shouted.

I ran through the hallways and heard his voice.

"I'm in here." He said faintly.

I looked at the door carefully and picked the lock. When I succeeded, I kicked the door open.

Jensen was tied up to a chair and was bleeding from his nose.

"You look terrible." I exclaimed.

"Thanks." Jensen smiled slightly. "Now, get us out of here."

I cut the rope from his arms as I did the same with his legs.

He started falling to the floor before I caught him just in time.

"Come on." I said as I pulled him up.

We limped ourselves out of the barn house. I placed Jensen in the passengers' seat of the car. Then, I started the car.

I pulled out my cellphone as I had dozens of missing calls from Patrick and Aspen.

"We better get going." I said to Jensen. "They already landed and are at Patrick's brother's house."

"He better have a nice house." Jensen mumbled as he started to clean his face with the alcohol wipes he found in his car.

"Trust me." I smiled as I pulled out of the barn, "he will."

Patrick's P.O.V:

"Are you almost here?" Kevin asked through the phone.

"Yea." I answered. "We're pulling up on your driveway."

"Okay. Because 'you know who' is getting pretty angry." He replied as I heard a crash from his side. "See you okay?" And with that, he hung up.

I turned off the car as Jared started to unload the things and headed inside the house before me.

"He won't be mad?" Maximus asked me.

"I hope not." I replied.

I entered inside the house to see Jared face to face with his father.

"Hello son." Jared's dad, Gerald, smiled.

Jared was at the verge of fainting as Kevin held him still.

"Thank you Kevin." Gerald said as he looked at his son, as if telling him to say the same.

"Yea. Thanks." Jared rolled his eyes.

Kevin backed away cautiously, "I'll- go get the drinks." He pointed towards the kitchen.

Kevin walked, or more like shuffled, away. Jared looked up at his father.

"What are you doing here?" Jared questioned.

"Your cousin Patrick invited me." Gerald looked towards me. "So, you should thank him. God, why can't you be like him?"

Jared turned around to face me as he looked as if he was going to strangle me, "thanks. Patrick." He balled up his fists. "So. Much."

"No need to thank me." I laughed nervously.

There was an awkward silence as Kevin, thankfully, came out with the drinks.

"Here. Done." Kevin said proudly and dropped the tray on the table.

I grabbed a bottle water as the kids grabbed their sodas and Gerald grabbed a beer as well as Jared.

"Well, let me show you kids your rooms." Kevin clapped his hands and started walking upstairs.
