Quinn

Hands down Reece is the coolest little girl I have ever met. First off she plays tag, the best game ever, like the little Queen she is. Second she loves animals. Puts those together and she's the perfect kid.

"Quinn?" Reece asks sleepily.

We are still laying on Gunner's bed, only I'm on my back staring at the dark ceiling.

"Yeah?" I ask back.

"What are the scars on your back?" She asks rolling to her side to look at me.

I tense at the question. A question I was hoping I would never have to explain. And one I was hoping I wouldn't have to explain to a five year old no less.

"Not all people are like your dad." I say softly choosing my words.

"What do you mean?" She asks her little features scrunching in question.

"Well, your dad is a good person. He doesn't hurt people for fun, and he's helping me. The scars, Reece, are from very bad, ugly men." I explain the best I can.

Without saying anything she grabs my hand holding it in hers before snuggling into me. Almost like she is trying to keep me from breaking down.

"Are those men bad like my mommy and her boyfriends?" Reece asks slowly.

I tense again. What the hell has her mother done?

"What has your mama done?" I question trying to keep my voice calm.

"Well when I'm bad mommy gets real mad and says I have to go to the closet. If I don't she drags me by my hair and I don't get food that night. I don't try to be bad, but sometimes I walk out of my room and see things I'm not supposed to." Reece is calm as she speaks. She's not scared completely, but there is sad emotion in her words.

"And what do her boyfriends do?" I ask quietly struggling not to cry for her.

"Once Roger tried to give me candy if I did things with him, but daddy told me never to take candy from anyone who I didn't trust. So Roggy got mad and threw a glass at me, but it missed and broke on the wall." My body goes unnaturally tight.

"Reece I want you to lock the door when I leave and don't come out. Just stay here and color while I go figure something out." I tell her, and she nods letting go of me and following me to the door to lock it behind me.

"I'll be right back." I say smiling at her.

She smiles back nodding. I exit hearing the lock clicking into place. Now where the fuck is Roger? Fucking asshole is going to learn a lesson. Screw not punching people, I should have told Gunner to kill him.

I must look completely pissed as I walk to the bar since a few people take a step away from me. Good I need space.

"Hey Blitz." I call the prospect over from where he is getting a beer to another guy.

"Oh hey Quinn." He says leaning on the bar. Blitz is on the short side with a bunch of piercings everywhere.

"You know that guy Roger." I start and his expression changes.

"Yeah... I saw what happened, and the aftermath of whatever Tease and Gunner did to him." He says.

"You know where he is now?" I ask.

"Oh ahh I think Nan took him to their room." He says getting suspicious.

"Right." I say slowly. "Thanks." I say shoving off the bar and going to find another person to talk to.
