terrified, and she wakes up at
night, screaming, not knowing what the hell is going on. Whatever those fuckers
did to her, I hope she never remembers.”
    “Has she seen her family yet?”
    Lewis shook his head. “No. She doesn’t want to see
them. I try. At the moment I’ve been able to get her in a room with a two way
mirror, where she doesn’t see them, but they can see her. Not to talk to her,
just to know that she’s alive, and she’s doing okay. They’re trusting me to
take care of her.” Lewis snorted. “I can’t take care of her. I couldn’t even
stop her from being taken.”
    “You can’t blame yourself for that shit. It was years
ago.”
    “It doesn’t change the fact she was still taken.”
Lewis took a sip of his soda.
    “Where is she now?” Richard asked.
    “Therapy, just talking with someone.”
    “She doesn’t remember anything,” Blake said.
    “Doesn’t matter. She still has feelings, and
nightmares. We’re not allowed to rush her to remember what happened.” Lewis
glanced down at his watch. “I better go and pick her up.”
    Richard watched Lewis leave, seeing a change within
the brother.
    “He’s found her, and it hasn’t done him any good,”
Jackson said.
    “No. She’s a shell of the woman he knew.” Richard
turned to Russ. “I’m going to go and see Anna.”
    “Sure.”
    Richard left the main clubhouse and walked toward
Russ’s room. He gave a little knock and waited for Anna to call out for him to
enter.
    Opening the door, he found Anna curled up on the bed,
crying.
    “I’m so sorry,” he said.
    He couldn’t do tears. It was his one weakness with
women, tears. They scared him.
    “You don’t need to say sorry. You’re always glib like
that.” She wiped underneath her eyes, sniffling some more. “I’m being stupid.”
    “You’re not stupid at all.” He moved, taking a seat on
the bed. “I was being insensitive.”
    “Lewis said you were being a pussy tonight. What did
he mean by that?”
    “Fucker shouldn’t have said anything.”
    Anna laughed. “It’s not very nice, is it, when people
start to invade your privacy?”
    “Is this payback?” Richard asked.
    “No. I was just wondering what made you say the stuff
that you’ve actually said. You’re glib, but you’re not cruel.”
    Richard sighed. “I had sex with my PA.”
    “Temperance?”
    “Yeah, how do you know her name?”
    “I called a few times to leave messages for you. Russ
asked me to.”
    “I had no idea.” He’d always assumed that Russ had
called directly.
    “I’m always helping out where I can. I don’t like to
feel like a waste of space. I have to do something.”
    “You’ve got to rest now.”
    “Yeah, Russ, he’s been freaking out a little. I had a
little bleeding, and the doctor recommended that I rest and abstain from having
sex. Russ hasn’t touched me since.”
    “Everything is okay though, right?”
    “Yeah, everything is okay. How are you dealing with
crossing that line with your PA?”
    “I’m handling it okay. I’m more worried about her.”
    “I don’t understand.”
    Richard told her what had happened, including the
incident with her friend.
    “You’re not jealous though?”
    “No. I’m not jealous. I’m intrigued.”
    “Intrigued how?”
    “Let’s just say there is something I’ve wanted, and
with Temperance and Jay, there’s a possibility I could have it.”
    “And Temperance just walked away?”
    “Pretty much. She doesn’t know how I’m feeling about
this though. Jay can help me to have what I want.”
    “She may not have feelings for him.”
    Richard snorted. “They’re best friends.”
    “So?”
    “He was her first.”
    “So?”
    “You’re not helping me, Anna.”
    She chuckled. “What I’m trying to say is besides the
obvious, that women are complicated, and not all of us stay hung up on those
facts. We can have friends that are men without having any sexual desire for
them. I consider you a friend, and I don’t want to
